lappinitup 629 Posted October 13, 2015 I still miss those Fag Packet Accountants......such a shame they went into liquidation.Spreadsheets in widescreen full of figures that were either assumed, approximate or just simply guesstimates - all designed to show Delia in a poor light. Amazing how the old girl is still here and yet they''ve all disappeared. [:D] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PurpleCanary 6,378 Posted October 14, 2015 "The finances were, if anything, even more precarious. The board’s response was to sanction the issue of a shedful of more shares…and in what feels in retrospect like a somewhat cavalier moment, Delia and I also agreed to underwrite the share issue, and hope that enough of the other shareholders would take the altruistic view and pay up. Many did but quite a few, including some with significant shareholdings, did not and the unforeseen outcome was that by the end of 1998 our own percentage had increased to 63 per cent!" I thought that was the most interesting line. I wonder who is being referred to, and whether they were glad their non-action meant Smith and Jones'' holding ended up so large...
