    I don't need to beg for money some people who seek publicity through taking the piss at others who are too desperate for money - my feeling is that Dragons Den can go **** themselves, to feel like this is priceless - it's not like they have any serious money to invest anyway.

    This means you don't have the money.

    It's like to say - I've got lots of money invested into shares but if I sell them it will be at a loss, well - there you have it: if you can't use it then you don't have it, maybe you can get some credit using that money as a collateral but it will cost you.

    That lesson should be engraved on all our hearts.

    It should be printed in letters 6 feet tall and posted from billboards everywhere.

    The lesson is "Don't argue with AtW, because every time you do a little orphan boy dies!". Probably.
    Or never argue with an idiot as you'll always lose. They will just drag you down to their level and beat you with experience

    WHS.

    Now I'm off to modify my Travel Lodge macro to factor in the cost of mileage between different locations to get the best overall price.

    Remember #1 rule - have good cashflow, even if it means not making a tenner a month on deal that can go more sour than Toxic Waste.
    Feck me. Did your mother drop you on your head when you were a child? I have the money, I have to pay a penalty to access it. The penalty is higher than borrowing it elsewhere. The interest I get on the invested money is higher than the borrowing. To get a higher interest rate you have to lock it in, otherwise you get the interest on a current account which is less than the amount to borrow it.

    And don't PM me again. I don't have £50 to invest in your company this month and yes I would want more than the 50% you offered last time.
