How long do they have to stay in Stockholm for?

Do genuine customers actually purchase the aloe gel drinks? Or is it mostly bots that buy it?

I can’t imagine many people willing to spend £20 on a small bottle of aloe gel drink.

For the qualifiers, it ranges from 5 days, 4 nights to 8 says, seven nights, depending on the level they qualified at.

For the non-qualifiers who are self-funded and/or part of the 'incentive', I suppose they're not there in any 'official' capacity, so it's down to their finances...

@France - in over 8 years of full time botting, my OH established a regular gloop-drinking clientele of about seven** (there were one-off buyers). Some were friends, so whether they are sympathy purchases or they actually drink the stuff is anyone's guess.

She has lost two regular 'customers', as our boys are no longer made to ingest the gel at breakfast since she moved out. They had done so uncomplainingly, but the look on their faces when I told them they could have fresh fruit juice instead said it all...

I wonder if having their meals paid for is in relation to the pre- paid credit card. I've never seen a bot who is attending a global rally mention free meals. They mention flights, hotel room, and spending money. I'm certain they would mention the free meals if they were part of the package. It does say free meals in the marketing plan though.

I read the whole marketing plan yesterday. I consider myself as being quite intelligent, I usually have no problems with things like that. I could barely understand a word of it and I'm still none the wiser as to how the full marketing plan works.

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 07/05/2019 08:22

We still have radio silence from the siblings. Hmm

Is it going to be like this throughout Stockholm week and then back to normal next week as if Stockholm never happened??

Twentytwentyhindsight · 07/05/2019 08:39

re. The Castle clan, I'm thinking it's one of two things:

  1. They remain quiet and suddenly pop up in Stockholm on cheque day to bask in Sis's reflected glory for the price of a day return.
  1. The size of the cheque is so derisory they don't want to draw attention to it, and they carry on as though it never happened, despite building the whole thing up barely a couple of weeks ago.
Spongebobette · 07/05/2019 08:51

Or perhaps the cost of a Miele hob is more than a couple of flights to Sweden?

Twentytwentyhindsight · 07/05/2019 08:54

I suppose there is a third explanation, there does not seem to have been much public interaction between the siblings since Hobgate, maybe there's been a falling out and Castle is sick of them riding on her coat tails, especially in these straitened times.

Spongebobette · 07/05/2019 09:02

Maybe her new coach/mentor has instructed her to cut the negative influences from her life?

Paddy1234 · 07/05/2019 09:15

I was thinking exactly the same thing on radio silence from the siblings ......

Whiterangey · 07/05/2019 09:19

I've never seen them go this quiet before. I can understand the sibs being quiet so the rally isn't mentioned as they didn't qualify, but castle is there right now and nothing.

If her cheque is smaller than last year she can use the same not working her bizniz excuse she made last great so that wouldn't be an excuse for not posting anything.

It's all a bit weird.

Surely the pressure and realisation of their financial situations is apparent to them now. Even with the best spin in the world, huge directors loans, pending tax bills (normal NI and income tax due 31st July) must be making them very very nervous.

Jigsawpuzzle · 07/05/2019 09:56

I don’t know how much media training they get but Nurse bot stop repeating everything we are not toddlers. Also she seemed to stumble over her prices.
BFF no way is that 5*.I think the balcony may be fire regulations rather than a poncy extra.

gotmychocolateimgood · 07/05/2019 09:56

Castle and siblings deserve to feel worried. How do they think all the people they've scammed feel when they realise they are losing money? Shame on them all. Enjoy your trips babes.

Well worth a listen. Not specifically MLM bashing, but generally taking to town the companies who make weight loss a business by confusing the client

Whiterangey · 07/05/2019 10:07

Sis must be losing money from forever judging by companies house. All those trips and buying product for those sweet cc's will wipe out what little she earns.

Their dad has retired and they sold the house to go travelling and whatever so it's going to be harder for them to support the three of them.

Sis and bruv definitely aren't making enough to live on and even castle is going to start struggling. She has a £350k director's loan to pay back.

Turns out forever doesn't last forever.

Aaaand Bingo - the Law of Reaction strikes again!

After a comment on here yesterday referencing Mr & Mrs Yawn and EasyJet, up goes a picture of an SAS wingtip...

Doesn't prove much, as we know FLP bots are known to doctor aircraft pictures remember this one?

I know what you're trying to post twenty, the fabled Forever-branded plane, a beautiful reminder of why photoshop should be left to the professionals

CanoeDoYouThinkYouAre · 07/05/2019 10:50

Saucy DH travels frequently for work, mostly long haul. He's off to the states and Mexico on Friday.

Literally from the minute he leaves the house until he gets back everything is on expenses.

If he posted a selfie of him on the plane (business class obvsSmile) thanking his company for the trip #blessed #luckyboy his CEO would think he'd lost his mind!

gotmychocolateimgood · 07/05/2019 10:56

Haha Canoe, my DH also travels for work internationally quite often. Very generous expenses and car plan for us both, private health insurance etc etc. If he were on social media it we ould be the last thing he'd post about. Your hashtag #luckyboy make me lol Grin
