Yup, nbut they had a guy called EEric Taylor who could get things done. You're right though they've always been beggars.
Don't start to be like that lot and expand the truth.....they got a 'free stand' for the 66 WC but the SS was on a long term loan. I believe it took them 15 /20 years to pay it off - my wife worked for the accountancy firm that looked after Wendy's books.
