ENIC would have just stretched the smaller amount over the same time period to pay off & still pleaded poverty.Course they will. But you still have to pay an extra £500m back
We’d have probably bought Canary Wharf if we had £500m floating around .
We do have ££ but I think it’s our approach to how we do deals is toxic & annoys the fuck out of other chairmen , be that buying or selling.
