    The only thing I can say Marco , there is a lot more to this that we don't know about ,I don't think Richard wants to hide from anyone but it may be his recent illness has something to do with it ? He needs to sort something out asap and he knows that I'm sure ! He won't offer any excuses either .

    Is his illness preventing him from using a phone, Chris? Much as I sympathise with Richard's current plight, I can't see anything that's stopping him currently from communicating with people and sorting out the mess he's created, toute-suite!!

    If it were me, I'd be mortally ashamed and embarrassed, and desperate to amend matters myself, ASAP, without help from anyone.

    Only he can answer that question ? At the moment there is no contact no ? Customers with a vested interest should try and contact Richie or take up Paul's offer , I wish I could help more myself ! Very frustrating the whole thing .

    However, this is the bit I don't get:



    Why should you have to do that - has Richard lost the use of his tongue, or has he gone all shy?

    I simply don't understand why he can't just lift up the phone and call everyone whose kit he's got and apologise and explain the situation. Any reasonable person will listen and accept the quickest route to get their gear back.

    I don't see why you have to act as a third party... Could you shed some light on that?

    If it's simply to allow him to hide, then that's not solving anything. He has to 'man up', front those he's led a merry dance for months (over a year for some?) and acknowledge that he's made a total arse of things, if his reputation is to ever recover from its current status of zero.

    Marco.
    Cheers Marco,

    I cannot take issue with anything you've written - you are entirely correct, Richard runs a business and has a duty to his customers - I make the offer merely as a starting point.

    I await PMs with baited breath!

    Best Wishes,

    Paul.

    I suppose that no-one has been able to get their property back from this gentleman? I have had serious heart problems, (eventually) dealt with by surgery in Edinburgh last April....I am now back in fighting form and want my SP10 back! So any update on the situation will be much appreciated! [I will be passing the Taunton turn off in about 4 months!!]
