Who would have though that a once mighty business empire would be reduced to rubble and ashes in the blink of an eye. How could this have ever happened. Mr Barton assured me (and perhaps more foolishly, my solicitors) that the company has 900 delighted customers, with never a complaint, 60 boats, and rising, a reputation second to none, and going from strength to strength. That was a few months ago. Why would he say such a thing ?
I laughed when he said it then, and I'm certainly laughing now.
