I think the banana split quote is the best! With both customers and creditors affected by this, unfortunately I think you can wave goodbye... to your money! The feedback seems to be 50/50 really as many people knew Simon to be a good guy, however the situation that has left people in desperation and with so much debt there is certainly an outrage...

is he safe in the UK? Can they bring him back to Dubai on charges?

Oh my, l was so pissed off when l opened the paper this morning. Have been trying to get them to pay off my invoice for 2 months.

I have no sympathy for him at all.

I have no clue how they went under, prob spent all the money himself.

They simply advertise 'experiences' such as ours on their website and take the full amount and then ask us the providers to invoice them minus 20% commission for themselves.

Anyway, anyone who wanted to rent a jet ski in abu dhabi through BB just contact me directly.
