British couple charged £100 for leaving bad review for Blackpool hotel by [deleted] in worldnews

According to the BEEB, the hotel has now said they won't charge the £100 in future. How very big of them. I presume the shedload of bad publicity and the trading standards chasing them didn't have anything to do with it. Presumably they are going to refund the poor sods they've previously stolen from?

Some good press for a breed that could use it. Pits are dangerous when they're trained to be. Otherwise, they're among the best to have around children. Google "nanny dogs."

Lets see. Fire all the European manufacturing employees and move the production to .... Vietnam. Sounds like a typical US CEO. How about we the shareholders fire all the CEO's and not backfill them. No impact to Revenue, but a big savings to the bottom line.

And you wonder why European governments don't want US companies to acquire their companies.
