Sky News just now running this story which it describes as one of the more improbable business stories of the year. Finished the report with the quote “God loves an optimist”. Couldn’t agree more.

Jamie2009 - it was an 800 million business that lost vast amounts of money. There is no point in trying to reinvent it.
