Abai and Albatross have kept me on my toes, but it's tailed off now. But having sacked React, TNS and RA not surprising, but I feel positively liberated.

That's a lot of sacking lol...I'm not surprised though

You know, I can't remember the last proof reading query I had from them apart from not using PDF for my pics.

well thats one phone company that wont be doing any more ms shopping for a while

despite the monthly pleas to get the jobs covered for 1/2 the cost of the previous company
its seems they (the phone retailer not the ms company) have gone in to administration tonight, as the only remaining network that would work with them has decided not to renew their contract which expires september NEXT year, but if they are unable to sell any networks (the others have dropped off slowly over the past 12-24 months) they have no product

shouldnt affect payments to shoppers as the ms company should pay out regardless and take the hit....but it may well delay them
especially as all stores will be closed tomorrow, so if you have any scheduled either for their MS company or as a competitor visit you may want to reschedule your plans...
was going to post a link to news story but then thought of the title of thread, so just google it if you dont know,
and no its not the current tns client

Just to inform you that the MS company is paying out, I received a statement for monies due at the end of this month from them.

Theoretically it should be less of a risk that the phone shop pays out than previous administrations as, they aren't bust, just have lost all suppliers now that EE have withdrawn, so although solvent they no longer have a business model.

What happened with previous administrations re people's shops being paid?

Only an american MS co could send out emails saying 'we have a shop near you' in another country (and I don't mean England, they haven't counted the votes yet). The shops were in Dublin and Wexford.

Has anyone else had a really busy start to the month and then found its tailing off in the middle of the month?:o

Similar - have also turned down tns phone shops and ESA rail tickets. No I don't want to travel the other side of the county to buy a season ticket in peak time even if you do pay the mileage..

Even rejected a GR phoneshop as think I seen enough phoneshops for a while. Currently being bugged with loads of Gfk banks. Everytime I clear them another load appears.
