TC's share price has dropped 96% in the last year or so. Workplace 'rumours' alone over this period should've alerted them to the fact that something wasn't right.

Maybe a bit harsh but would some be waiting for redundancy, thinking that liquidation was a very long odds bet.

Agreed. Self preservation kicks in at times like this. As someone who worked as a carpenter for years in the construction industry you kind of sensed when something like this was going to happen. I'd have my tools in the back of my car and I'd be gone pronto.....

. Unfortunately I'm not at all surprised! A couple I know spent 5 grand on a holiday last year and from their description, it doesn't sound like they ever mustered the energy to get off the hotel poolside sun loungers.| stuckinbristol In the woodwork. 24 Sep 19 9.50am |

One of my favourite holiday destinations is Kefalonia which is an island with no fast food restaurants or Indian or Chinese either and that puts a lot of people off going there

As consequence they attract a different crowd and encourage a more local experience!

I didn't know that you were a member of the old gits club too Likewise I'm also not a lover of the packaged holiday despite it being much cheaper. We book flights and villa separately despite knowing that we have less protection in the event of either insolvency or fraud. Understandable, given the air of youthfulness conveyed by my posts.
