At some point in the last week I ticked over the three year mark. Quitting around Christmas was a funny one, especially being around family on Christmas day - the sherry comes out at 11am and there's a more or less continuous flow of drink from then on.

Some of the studios are wholly owned by Miloco, some...

Miloco is essentially a time share business - they're set up more like an agency that takes a cut from helping studios fill out their schedules, rather than owning all of the facilities themselves.
