    I think Gap are in severe financial difficulties at the moment.

    Why do you think that? They owe me money, quite a lot, then they sacked me.

    I had to return my measurement equipment too - they havent replied to confirm receipt.

    I am getting worried.......

    I wouldn' worry too much. IIRC I never received confirmation that my 'equipment' had been returned and I received full payment.

    The late payment is more likely someone forgetting to run the payroll or something rather than financial difficulties especially considering the clients they have.
  • I wouldn't be so sure. Their finances are precariously balanced. Their auditors have stated each year for the past three years that they have "serious doubts regarding the companys ability to operate as a going concern". Translated to English that means they're not far from bust...

    Can anyone help? I've done my first assignment for First Tracking and I've entered the data and pressed submit, but it's just gone back to the page before. All the data's still here in front of me. Have I missed how to submit? Are you still supposed to see it?

    Thanks a lot for that. I was hoping that was the case as I couldn't see anything else I could do, but I kept going back to look at it thinking what if it isn't.

    Does it mean the streets and shops are deserted when there is a match on though? Enjoy your SPI, you get to see the film for that one don't you?

    Nah not really, there aren't many shops near the cricket ground and the ones nearby are mostly independent ones so no MSing. On a side note the main shopping street about 10 mins walk away got closed off after a fire this morning.

    And yes, off to see a film this evening with a drink and popcorn. Pretty good if you ask me :)

    I wish there was an SPI cinema closer to me. The trailer visit was odd.
