because while we have had in the past to remove some comments about Advantage HGV for legal reasons we have endeavoured to keep as much as we can online… and Google loves us :grimacing: a quick Google search brings up the comments you all have written.

As a consequence this afternoon have been taking calls from various newspapers and TV and radio newsrooms wanting to understand the industry and what exactly the problems with brokers are/could be.

She’s then quoted as saying "…but he is not quite stable - mentally stable
That tells me she already had doubts about him.

So how many of those she might regard as “not quite stable” have actually passed?! :open_mouth:

So she decides to lie about who she is, and then apparently tells him she’s pregnant to get out of there, what a nice lady (must be as a result of her work I guess)

Well, maybe the end result will be that this bloke has done a lot of people a lot of good.
