They have changed the pictures on the website and to be honest, it doesn't look as bad. And apparently, the BBC are going back to film the changes that have taken place. There are also pictures of the toys and I do think it is quite an exaggeration to say they are complete tat. But I shall still wait and see what happens with further reviews and the BBC thing before we make a decision about Saturday.

I know but we're already booked up for the 6th of December... So it is a case of wasting £150.00 by completely not going or at least going and giving it a go if it has improved.

I have sent an e-mail to the bankruptcy enforcement hotline to ask for confirmation it's being looked in to.

I have just rung that number and it appears that this person is in a meeting and from the tone of the person I spoke to I am probably the 1,000 th caller so far today.

This looks like it could turn into one hell of a mess. Of course, his creditors from his previous bankruptcy will be claiming this money too (if he is the same person) but I would hold that his bankers are primarily at fault in allowing him to run the account without making proper checks. Who could ever think that banks would behave incompetently and lose people money through stupidity ? - all of us by now.

I asked the person to inform me what accounts and assets this person held (knowing they wouldn't know or be able to tell me) but indicating that they SHOULD know, and be controlling this person. I hope his bank now freeze his account for their own protection, otherwise they will (if they are not already) a party to assisting this person in breaking the terms of his bankruptcy.

The major problem is that person was hoping to make a small killing through his scam, but it mushroomed and has got out of control, and his bank are going to be squealing with pain.

I may ring this person again later. I have recorded my call (which I can legally do).
I WOULD NOT LIKE TO BE YOUR NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR THE THINGS YOU HAVE DUG UP YOU MUST NO THESE PEOPLE THAT ARE RUNNING THIS EVENT AND I BET YOU DONT LIKE THEM HAVE YOU BEEN YET OR ARE YOU GOING ON WHAT YOU HAVE HEARD it sounds to me you could be the oppistion

Joskins - if you read the thread fully, you would see that I have posted something I found on another site that I felt people might (as indeed I did) find interesting. Further, (and again if you had properly researched the thread) you would see that I HAVE had the misfortune of going to this event and subjecting my family to 30 minutes of the worst, inconceivable trash one could imagine. I am most certainly not the opposition, but i certainly oppose anyone who can expect to get away with such a blatant scam. And by the way, I have a lovely relationship with all my neighbours thank you!

LNF website update


I just found this at the bottom of the website....


Technical Notice: We have been having severe technical problems with our server computer since Monday 1st December ... not the website itself, but the machine we lease to host the website. All effort is being made to identify and correct this issue, including the temporary possibility to redirect this page to another domain so that you can continue to view our event photographs. This machine fault has suspended all online ticket booking and we thank you for your understanding.



So....they have stopped sales???
