Now, now, don't be like that.
It's Friday afternoon and I'm bored.

when I am bored the first thing that springs to mind is rarely "let me correct someones grammar".

How many employees did they have?

[Gaffer]

A lot of people from TVR read these forums and until details are officially released I think this thread should be stopped.

Was more a case of lets see what's happening on PH. And seeing as I haven't got any insider knowledge that was the best I could come up with at the time. Mediocre I know.

Pub .... maybe in an hour or so ........

[powerlord]

they're a private company. don't need to 'officially release' anything if they don't want to.

I say the ones in the know should spill the beans!

maybe under a psuedonym...

Precisely. If they want people to know - they will release the details. Its this kind of thread that starts rumours and upsets people at the factory that important news like this gets sent out on the internet before the families know.

Wrong IMO

I dont see what harm this thread would have upon the employees?
