    But I would love to get my hands on it and turn it around.

    Not possible surely?
    Same as Xtra vision is a dead duck, its the industry itself that's dying here.
    Granted everyone seems to agree that HMV was a static ostrich that refused to move with the times and did itself absolutely no favours with its non-response of the last decade or more.

    Gotta love your enthusiasm for pretty much everything sandin and I'd say its the main reason you've made a success of yourself and may it never change or be changed by someone cautiously sceptical like myself!

    But not a battle that would be winnable in this case.

    Yes, I'm the eternal optimist. But do so understanding the negatives and counteracting them.

    As its gone way off the original topic, I've opened a thread here
    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=82716058#post82716058 with my idea for the new HMV

    and we'll see what other business boardsies think what hmv could do to survive.

    Remember, there are 1.9million houses in the country, just 600,000 mortages of which about 40,000 are in trouble and a further 50,000 have been renegotiated. - Its still less than 5% of households that have mortgage issues, leaving 95% of homes without mortgage or having no problem paying their mortgage.

    Not sure where you got the figures from but 67000 mortgages are 6 months in arrears at the end of last year out of 760k residential mortgages

    go to specsavers, get tested and then re-read the post.

    95% of homeowners are mortgage free OR have no issue paying their mortgage.


    and I never said ignore the 5%.
