    Contrary to your observations, I am in no way concerned about PPCs and their revenue streams. Perhaps you can produce a relevent balance sheet to convince me doomsday is just around the corner?

    I didn't make any such observations. :p

    I'd run absolute rings round you on balance sheets, pal. :D

    If Perky is so erudite why did he not come up with a better dating name than looplotty?

    Those who seek to tell the truth have always been beaten-down. Take American Dr, DR Raymond Royale. He invented a machine that, using only sound waves, was capable of curing over 600 different types of cancers and tumuors. As this threatened the profits of the pharmacos, they petitioned the US Govt. into passing laws to outlaw the 'Royale Resonator', thus protecting their ability to control the release of cancer drugs and therefore maintaining their profitability.
    Raymond Royale died penniless and destitute.

    The PPC mob obviously feel as threatened as the US pharmacos, hence going after the soft targets.

    Or the rather more recent case of a well-respected cardiologist, Dr Peter Wilmshurst:

    First Date

    Meet in a pub, go for something to eat .. or do something different.

    How about invoicing a few cars for an alternative first date, if she dresses up you're onto a winner perky ? ;)
    Excel Parking, MET Parking, Combined Parking Solutions, VP Parking Solutions, ANPR PC Ltd, & Roxburghe Debt Collectors. What do they all have in common?
    They are all or have been suspended from accessing the DVLA database for gross misconduct!
    Do you really need to ask what kind of people run parking companies?

    I wonder how that first date would go when he takes the hot babe back to her car to find one of his goons has already ticketed it :D
