Viglen? Dixons? Sky? Don't worry, just guessing after looking at the Amstrad wiki.

Didn't SeenonTV also say they'd be back on a specific later day; they never were. Probably a stalling tactic to keep creditors at bay and keep the business actively trading. Let's hope for a different outcome.

Oh yeah, your thread and @Jazzydrury posted there too. Never saw how relatively cheap paper/craft items on TV could make a decent enough profit, unless overpriced, with all the costs and overheads of shopping TV. I suppose some businesses / brands buck the trend like Sarah thingy off Dragons'...

Dunno' possibly, may be terms of the Freeview agreement. Are they on Sat too? Found this also: https://forum.crafttelly.com/showthread.php?37340-Looks-like-it%92s-going-pear-shaped-at-C-amp-C-again

Yeah, I think you could spec cpu 486sx or dx, disk size and ram memory etc. Tiny or Time may have let you do similar over phone or by post or pick the spec from a mail order catalogue. I liked their brands, more than Amstrad, but never bought any of them and sourced elsewhere. Does anyone...

Don't know if IW2 tried insolvency practitioner prior to declaring bankruptcy and calling in the administrators. Presumably the management tried various things like the Sports Direct loan/charge, celebs selling, Eric Knowles, etc. Possibly insolvency means they may have spotted problems early...

Does PeterS have false dentures on the top row? Just watched him with chef JoeR flogging various air fryers/grills and he seemed to be playing with his top set, or moving them around slightly. It might just be the TV picture or his grimacing around them, not sure. The top front 6 do seem a bit...

If not called in the administrator, then haven't filed for bankruptcy yet, but has cashflow/debt issues and is or may become insolvent and an insolvency practitioner will try and manage and save the business with loans, bridging loans, calling in debts owed, restructuring, cost-cutting etc. to...

Lucky you. Guessing you're Portsmouth/Chichester/Arundel area. We have friends who left London and moved to a retirement bungalow on the island. Remember Warner's Lakeside and Sinah Warren, as a kid.

Ahhh, lovely Hayling Island. Many a happy holiday down there.

Cut-price Outlet.

Correction: £14.99. Comes with a USB power cable, can't tell if it's got an internal rechargeable battery. If so, then reasonable and I'll stand corrected.

I saw a bit on the app. They're selling a mini vac for £20+p&p, the sort of thing you might buy for a fiver down the market, or a tenner in Halfords-type places for a car vacuum. A decent one from a stick vacuum where it pops out would do a much better job.

At least you're not stuck in Northern Ireland, on a boat, in the middle of the Belfast Estuary for days, after 63 days in port! Which places are you visiting? It sounds good, if the weather improves.

Given the other text is fairly good, albeit ridiculously flowery, maybe it was done, badly, by a native English writer who doesn't know how to use apostrophes properly?! A common affliction (The Apostrophe Society, anyone?), but let's not go there.

I found the old IW eBay 'returns' store really good value. Bought a few tech items, a phone, a laptop, described as ex-display, ex-studio from there, at a fraction of the on-screen price. They were new, still in protective wrapping, probably had just been in reserve as demonstrator models. Shame...

Did you see TJC removed Paypal last week. Presumably many of us complained. Then they reinstated it this week! Probably realised how much business they'd lose, despite the transaction costs. Also received a 'we miss you' discount code for 25% off: MISSYOU25

Not *another* ignore?! 😋
