The Chain it has fallen
Gone broke, and gone bust
Thousands lose jobs
Thousands bite dust
But still must pay bills
With no more income
Chain-maker's in mansion
No problem, ho hum
Millions, no problem
Stored in the bank
Splash round same lifestyle
Drink sauvignon blanc
A case of one biting
Off more than can chew
A la Roman Empire
This Chain did fall too

...............and the Romans had better helmets!! Brilliant!
Don, it’s simple economics. Jamie’s Italian food wasn’t as good as Carluccio’s and was also more expensive. Service wasn’t as good either!

Restaurants and cafes come and go. They're opening up all fhe time, there's no customer loyalty and inevitably someone gets squeezed out. That is just commercial reality Don. To equate Jamie's Italian with the Roman Empire I can only conclude they've been giving you the wrong pills in that hospital.

Ah! Jamie Oliver - - - - - his perceived 'boyish charm and engaging personality' ? was a good front for an ambitious businessman.
Didn't work though - more honesty and less greed could have worked.

This refers to the collapse of the Jamie Oliver restaurant chain leaving the workers without jobs but the Olivers with mansioned luxury. It seems he bit off more than he could chew, and coupled with bad management ended with the same fate as the Roman Empire - biting off more than they could chew.

The entrepreneur offers others opportunities so it is always a matter
of deep regret when things go awry and both pay the price. But
without the risktakers who put their money where their mouth is
(excuse the culinary analogy) there would be even less opportunities
for employment. Food for thought ?? ?
