Off to the Riviera!!

Sounds rather grand you might say, well its not quite the South of France but rather Riviera Bay Holiday park in Brixham. Wife and number 1 son went down yesterday and I pick up number 3 son from school tonight and off we go. At least 3 hours in traffic to stay in a place my wife has described as Colditz, but with far poorer en suite facilities!
Oh joy cold weather standing on the touchline cheering on the Boys on our 5th tour. Good news though,  I drive back alone (peace and quiet and can listen to my own music), and on Monday fly off to join my fellow pilgrims on our annual hallowed tour of  Southern Ireland. A bit of golf will no doubt be involved, well actually rather a lot of shots no doubt due to lack of any form of practice. However new bag and new shoes will hopefully carry me through. A lot of food and rather even more alchohol will be the order of the trip. However Iron Man Overgraduate may dip out occassionally due to his dedication to the task, he has his first triatholon the weekend after our return. Business is still shite, another customer went bust on Tuesday, sorry PC - went into administration. Will it be another Phoenix? Not sure, been stripped I believe rather like a total shister I know who has stripped his company in Liverpool and restarted by buying the equipment personally from the liquidator! Even more annoying and baffling is the fact the invoice discounters he used in dead company have been signed up in phoenix company!! Quite frankly this sort of management fraud needs stamping on from a great height, it is so bloody simple to do it encourages a total lack of morality in business.
Another such occurrence happened with another customer of mine about 6-7 weeks ago. Based in deepest darkest Wales the owning family decided they couldn't afford the redundancy bill required to slim down the business so did the dirty, dumped the creditors, and guess who is in position A to buy some form of it back? Yes go to top of the class, the incompetent gobshites that ran it down the toilet in the first place! The administrator is under extreme pressure not to liquidate because of the number of jobs that will go, how very PC, so instead said crooks will get another chance. The fact that they bought in loads of stuff from China and still couldn't make a profit is beside the point, lets hope they go again a bit quicker this time but don't take anyone with them!
So wish me luck, Bon Voyage and I will report back probably from the ferry on the way home!
