you'd need more than a hundred grand.

the other thing about the Thatcher/ Blair period was the bit where bankruptcy became good business practice. you embark on a project . raise loans, live the high life - but the business is registered somewhere outside the jurisdiction of England. It became an intelligent way to exploit the the THatcherite liberalisation of credit. quite an acceptable way for business to be conducted.

the iceberg hit....you start another business. Larry Lamb and Tim Spall were in a tv play about it at the time.

I know to my cost because a record/publishing company who were doing my songs at the time did it to me and a lot of other people.
