Krimo says: Adam was 3½ years old when we opened Krimo's in 1985. So he really grew up within the restaurant industry and, though I didn't want him to, I am not surprised that he followed in my footsteps. Poor lad!
They say that it is very hard to work with family. IT BLOODY IS!! Especially when your son happens to be as hard-headed as you.
It takes patience! And loads of it because today's young think they know better! (Cue violin music!)
But I feel that the future is looking good, because we really are getting on at last. Honest! What is it, Adam? Old age catching up with you or are you just catching up with your Dad? xxx













We met by chance at Asda after work last week. Now I know why many of our customers say we are like two peas in a pod! But I KNOW you are handsome because you take after your mam!
