The Guardian reports that sales at Jessops, Britain’s biggest photographic chain, have plummeted after losses of £70m in 2006.
Apparently this info appears on some LGF posters around the village at the moment. A friend has grabbed one for archive use, though I haven’t seen a copy of the poster myself yet.
Financial overview:
For a second year running, Manchester Pride has raised one of the lowest amounts in its 17 year history. Just £95,000.
This is despite the highest ticket prices ever (some people paid £18) and more than 40,000 tickets sold according to a report on the LGF website.
The Manchester Pride website reports that Operation Fundraiser will be ‘will be hanging up its buckets’ this year.
