that worked. So distressing I tells ya twice!

I think he [and others] will need to feel some forum love.

I read about the strong possibility last night - in fact the CEO said they were dealing with some very difficult situations but guaranteed 100% that the would not go into administration (businessmen eh? never believe a word they say)

I loved FOPP with a passion for years - but as they expanded I felt the "feel" had gone - and then I heard about how aggressive they were to existing indie retailers (eg refusing to deal with distributors who sold to local indies) the love waned

Still feel sad about it tho - there is no denying the joy in browsing the ?5 section and seeing someones back catalogue in full...
