@Bovneydazzlers - indeed, more smoke & mirrors from FLP.
Another 'fact' that the UK bots are putting out there is that the UK moving up the league table is proof that FLP is on the rise in the UK.
Errr, no it doesn't. It means other countries are declining more rapidly.
The vastly reduced number of UK cheques, and the drop in the value of the cheques for all but the top dogs compared to last year (which itself was a complete massacre for UK bots) clearly show that all is not well in the kingdom.
Perhaps a more authoritative measure will be the turnover figure for 2018, which will appear in the company accounts, due on 30 September.
The figures for the previous three years would make uncomfortable reading for any CEO:
2015: £106 million
2016: £80 million
2017: £42 million
2018: £ ?
In the space of two years, FLP's business in the UK more than halved.
These are the figures anyone involved, or thinking about getting involved with FLP should consider, rather than those plastered on tacky oversized cheques.
I expect most current bots would prefer to continue to be dazzled by hope, rather than sobered by reality, but I would urge them to have a look at the next set of accounts before deciding whether FLP is on the rise in the UK.
If it isn't, why are you being lied to?
