"Must be so annoying for you that time after time the public and the likes of Eddie Forester keep on coming through at the last moment with just enough cash to push us on to the next funding crisis!"
What a stupid and unnecesary thing for you to say VR, you've just lost all the respect I had for you. Why do you think it would annoy me? On the contrary, I'm deligted that it keeps getting funded even after all the threats and blackmailing that goes on, but it doesn't make it right.
I couldn't have predicted the banking crisis, nor could Branson but I think between us we might have foreseen that fuel tanks could and would leak and that hydraulic pumps might throw a wobbly. Maybe thats why BA and Virgin have plans in place for such events. Maybe it's because their chf execs have a bit on forsight perhaps?? Just a thought.
Still, if thats the way you want it then so be it - I'm not the one on a 4 week rolling notice thank God
