I see that Alan Bates has been offered a holiday on Necker Island, and a med cruise, by one R Branson. Never one to miss out on a bit of feel good publicity :-) That's my one blot against Alan Bates. He basically asked Richard Branson to give him a free holiday via last weekend's Sunday Times.

I see Growth Street are matching orders today using money previously not on loan for several days.

I'm still perplexed by BDO's statement: "Following the Creditors’ Committee’s approval at a meeting held on 12 March 2019, Receivers were appointed over the property on 14 March 2019." Firstly, as a simple statement, it doesn't mean that the CC's approval was required to appoint the Receivers, but why write in a way that implies it was? Secondly, concerns were raised with BDO about site security (theft, vandalism) as early as 24 September 2018 (by me) and probably earlier (by others). Had BDO acted more prudently and appointed Receivers then, the site could have been secured/protected to preserve value.My bold.
...and thus possibly have prevented the xmas 2018 break in when a lot of internal damage and theft took place.

The meeting was scheduled for 31 March but was postponed indefinitely some time ago.

metoo A small clue, quoting from my forum usage thread
The latest quarterly figures (to 26th May) have been slightly distorted by a handful of forum members deleting almost all their posts, which in total is estimated to have been a low four figure number of posts
The latest quarterly figures (to 26th Aug) have again been slightly distorted by a handful of forum members deleting almost all their posts, which in total is estimated to have been a low four figure number of posts.
I'm afraid not all posts made on this forum are made with honest intent at the time they were made, and a very few forum members have chosen to use the forum to ramp the market one direction or another. Many of these posts have been deleted post the COL collapse by the posters concerned.
If my post from 2017 reads as if I am ramping the market I apologise, that is never my intent. It is unfortunate that the historical record/context has been distorted - the Zopa forum prevented edits / deletions to posts 2 hours after posting, but is not a feature available to us via Proboards.
I deleted all my posts from this forum - probably several hundred in total, many of them on the MT and Col boards and chose to withdraw from this forum. None of my posts extolled the virtues of the Bolton loan, indeed many of them were photographic evidence of the lack of progress on the loan across both platforms.
Why did I do this?
Because you could no longer have a sensible discussion about the Bolton loan because one of your fellow moderators was forever in conspiracy mode about secret syndicates and their hidden agenda. Several times he openly accused me of being a member of such a syndicate – I never was and never have been.
If he had been an ordinary member, I suspect he would have been banned. He wasn’t and he still continues to moderate today.
...people in glass houses.
