When I opened the post this morning there was a letter from a chartered accountant re Catering Direct (Yorkshire) Ltd. It seems that they have ceased to trade with immediate effect and there will be no money for unsecured creditors (that's people like us who have sold them stuff and haven't been paid). I thought this was just a follow up from yesterday's email but then I did a double take. I mean yesterday's email was about a company with Yorkshire in the title wasn't it? Yes but it's NOT THE SAME COMPANY. This means that in two consecutive days this week we have customers that have gone bust. Is this a taste of things to come? Only eighty quid this time for some spare parts but that's a round of drinks for the Christmas party.
What should we do? Do we close all Yorkshire accounts? Do we act suspiciously when encountering Yorkshire accents? Is it just a Yorkshire thing? They are supposed to be good with money over there. I mean just look at Leeds United and Halifax Building Society. On second thoughts ...........
My bet on Barak Obama is looking pretty good although it's still a bit worrying to have over £900 at stake. However I think that I should stick to my guns having seen his hockey mom running mate's reception at a recent hockey game.
And what about the comments from McCain and Palin's supporters at their rallies? "Terrorist. Kill Him. Off with his head" are just a few of the audiences' cries. If that is a genuine feeling it really is a good job that I bet by laying McCain rather than backing Obama.
Poor Lauren (above) is a bit poorly today and has had to go to hospital. Get well soon Lauren, we miss you.
It was like being back in the school playground last night when Betfair updated it's forum. I log on most days for ten minutes to get the latest football and betting gossip. Until last night swearing was taboo although most members got past the censors by using strategically placed asterisks and ingenious metaphors. However it now seems that swearing is OK (apart from words like Ladbrokes, Paddy Power, William Hill etc which are still censored) as, let's face it we have to be over 18 to be on the site. However the new found freedom ended up with almost every thread having an obscenity in the title and if there had been one titled "Poo-poo wee wee smelly bum's bet of the day" I would not have been at all surprised.
Well the good news is it's been yet another really busy day for orders. The bad news? Ee bah gum they're all from bloody Yorkshire.
