At the begining of this sorry saga BASSA stated that they would not avail themselves of the opportunity to inspect, in confidence,the BA accounts because they were not accountants and therefor would not understand them...
...whilst at the same time...
BASSA informed BA (again via Acas) that the improving financial situation meant that all previous proposals were now off the table and a blank sheet of paper between us would be a good starting place for fresh negotiations.
...making it truly astonishing that those with such limited financial acumen seem to have a handle on the state of the entire world economy.
