Erm not sure which rock you've been hiding under.....the northern one maybe.....but thats precisely whats been going on this past 10 years or so.

You mean were in trouble aswell??

Oh S**t and f**k.

Thats why the bank wont lend me the billions I asked for so I could go to another country and fight other peoples problems.

I think they would tell us where to go

I hate to say it but I think theyre about to go pop.

Their markup on shares is only around 1% as opposed to the normal 5%.
Their directors havent drawn dividend payments either according to FT information.

The shares are rising slightly but profit on shares is still crap.

Apparently they are not allowed to gamble with money that hasnt been provided service for. Basically means if you havent had the holiday they have to bank it and cant spend it.
This money would then go to another company to deal with if they went to the wall.

If they dont have a friendly banker they could be in deep poo.

Lets hope it will be okay

Big problem may be that a lot of smaller TOs use Thomas Cook/First Choice charters

If you're not booked with Squeezyjet/jet2 etc than now may be the time

Yep crystal are part of TC aswell. I remember that I bad mouthed TC down the phone once only to be told they were also tarred with the same brush.

Whats the worst that could happen??


Dont suppose italy will be their best snow dest either at the mo

Oh crap, they better not mess with my holiday in January or I will be extremely piste off.

Arent First choice linked to Thomas cook aswell??

I dont go with the wife because she wont go on anythingg other than blues, greens or nursery slopes.
I took her to a small red run in Flaine once and she too scared so I pushed her down it, hoping that she learn quickly.
My theory of sink or swim went a bit sideways but should have seen her go flying over the moguls backwards.
I wet my pants in laughter and only regretted not having a camcorder on me.

She see's the funny side now, thank god!!

This may be a "tradition" I have to try this year :twisted:

I started it up a couple of years ago whilst on an apres ski in Niederau.
I drank far too much and so did another person.
I went down the slalom in a 1980 slalom suit and she did it in a swimsuit (over her ski gear ofcourse.)

I highly recommend it and you will be the talk of the resort for sometime after believe me!!
