    Afternoon all. Monday update after a visit to the EA office this morning. EA had long conversation with buyer on Saturday and told him of our potential intention of remarketing if we don't get any further by Friday. He said 'well that's their choice' and agent said he told him not that's not our choice and we'd rather not, he's got the choice to move this forward. Still won't give accountants details. Still wouldn't give a timescale of money being available.

    EA rang buyer's solicitor today and some positive news - legally it's all ready so no further queries and contacts have been sent to buyer for signing. So we're very hopeful that with this situation he can finally give us an answer. EA is ringing buyer again today to tell him what sol said and see if we can move this saga on. Not got much optimism left but have tiny shred of hope for some positive news later!

    Just stick it on the b leeding market again. He won't do a runner if he's actually going to go through with it, will he? ("Well, really, you seem not to believe I have enough cash... I have never been so insulted, I shall waste all my costs so far, and start searching from scratch {and have to reinvest all these assets into insoluble stocks} just to prove a point... HAUMPH!")...

    You'll put a bit of pressure on him, that might just hurry him up and, when it turns out he's a Walter Mitty fantasist with a Post Office Savings Account, you may already have another buyer.

    just don't waste more time, there's no reason to do so....

    Your buyer sounds like an absolute bell end

    You have my sympathies
    Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
