I read a quick piece about it in the paper. *Apparently*, they're doing fine, but they've just changed their accountancy firm or something so they're behind with payments. Some activity providers are close to dropping them because they haven't paid up on invoices.

I read the same piece - its been going on for over a year now, I've heard alot of their suppliers aren't being paid (large and small). do you think its good or bad news for affiliates? if they did go bust it would take their cut of money out of the equation, leaving more room for everyone else.

Thanks for the update Graham.
Oh dear... !
Wonder if the founding lady, Rachel Elnaugh, will be on the new BBC2 series of Dragon's Den? I read somewhere that they had already started filming.
This motto could help her:
"Learn from your mistakes and never give up."

Given all that is going on now lets hope TD see sense and suspend the Red Letter Days programme on Monday
Never argue with idiots. They just drag you down to their level and then beat you with their experience.
If ignorance is bliss then some of the people I know must be orgasmic.

A balloon trip is conned into going on, originally planned for this Wednesday, has now been cancelled

Naturally disappointed due to the money thats been wasted by my family and hudnreds of other people who have bought gifts as present, lost affil revenue, and employees who will no doubt lose out too.

Is it me, or is it kind of funny that some of the other "dragons" are interested in buying the company?
