All of the remaining Evesham staff are VERY miffed about this. We have to wait for the Burnley mob to sort this out now, and a phrase involving the words "piss up" and "brewery" spring immediately to mind whenever they're concerned.

If we end up not getting paid after (in some cases) 10+ years of service, I'm going to lead a Frankenstein-esque mob to their premises, pitchforks n' all.

Good to see that a core of the guys have themselves sorted at European Electronique, sure they will do well there.

But exactly who are they going to sue if they don't get paid??

Someone with no money. If you sue you'll simply have a civil debt against a declared bankrupt with no obvious liquid assets. At the moment you have an employer who owes money for services rendered.

Basically I guess they decided to pay off the "chaps" before the lads got a look in.
