Greetings,
Remember when we all wondered why Discover PLC went to the wall?.

Are you ready?
Admittedly they're not all from Discover but a fair proportion are.

Picemeal (Subject to Conditions of Sale and Unless Sold Previously)

I agree with Jim Oldham, go flip burgers was a stock answer to all dissent.
Born out of mass cars sales and with the backing of RBS, they thought they could transfer the business plan to caravans, difficult to say what the lack of money due to the recession had, but and to my mind, it was always doomed.
Difficult because the winter of 07/08 auction of vans at Measham saw vans selling at way below the market value of the previous summer, what no one knew was, it would be boom times but Discover were in no position to take any advantage.
I say no one but there was one, he bought over 100 and boy did he dip his bread that day!!
As for the domain list, it was common ploy for a successful name to be copied with a similar name in the hope of skimming of some of the goodwill, it would appear they thought of this and registered all similar names to stop anyone else using it later?
