  4. There are quite a lot of them out there if you look for them. All the owners/investors in big companies who have a big personal fortune but companies which they've grown and laden with debt but at the same time taken a skim off. As Warren Buffett said you never know who's swimming naked until the tide goes out. All these companies now have no way of paying off the debt and want the government to give them handouts.

    According to analysis conducted by the Wall Street Journal, executives at top US traded companies sold around $9.2 billion shares of their own companies between the first week of February and the end of last week.

    Dump that debt and run!

    My boss isn’t coming out of this very well at all, he’s obeying all the guidelines etc and the welfare of the staff is being considered but the shear lack of communication is noticeable , I appreciate he’s as confused as everyone but at times like this you need a leader and he isn’t .
     
  10. I get the impression that the payments schemes aren't straightforward and he might be confused and worried about losing the whole of the business. Spoke to one business owner yesterday who expressed that view. I think you have to cut people some slack , I'm not sure what communication you want we're generally sitting at home not in a trench about to go over the top.

    I love the Daily Mail. Far funnier than the Beano.

    Someone I know from another forum plays a game on the comments. The game is to try and get as many hates as possible by understanding your readership. I remember there was an article about a woman who had falsely claimed £20K benefits or something like that. He won by a clear margin with "I think they should let her off, she's hot!".

    I don’t get the game.

    Surely it’s damming on the readership if they all clicked like, not hate on that?

    Had he stated she was foreign or poor....that’s the sweetspot....

    The article stated that. Eastern European. Poor? I think not. He had 100 hates within the hour, the nearest was about 4. I quoted his entire comment. DM readers FROTH and she was a looker. Perfect.

  20. @monkeyvanwestybike I think you could say he's a little misguided ... by the way I'm on one big holiday when's this Easter thing he talks of?
