AWTM,
thanks for the clarification - it’s far to easy to go into liquidation with far too few consequences.
Directors make money and everybody else gets shafted.
I’m pleased they will still have a high steet presence but I still see real difficulties with their business model

All the best
Rod

LB,
absolutely but just in the interests of clarity that would be the Roman Catholic church you speak of.
The current Pope used to be in charge of the Inquisition
That department still exists believe it or not !!
Cheers

Rod,

Re Jessops Camera Shops, as a shareholder of this company I am spitting feathers as it would appear that the major share holder (a well known troubled bank) has discovered a loophole in the law.
Jessops when entering liquidation was still solvent by a long way, unfortunately the bank which owned around 47% of its shares decided it wanted to raise some money and found a couple of mates which were interested in taking on Jessops.
In short it found it could privatise the company and sell what share it didn’t already own to these two companies offering only a token gesture to the other existing share holders (0.097 pence per share).

The good news is Jessops is still going to be present on the high street.

Rod,
With you on those, don’t get me started on the church. The arrogance that institution showed towards the child abuse cases on both sides of the Atlantic is both incredible and truly sickening. When you think about all of those young, innocent boys raped, indecently assaulted and beaten by so called men of the cloth it’s enough to make you weep.
