DWP billions in debt?
« on: November 27, 2009, 14:29:56 »
Is it true that DWP has taken a walk down skint street?

I'll buy P&O from them ;D

It is hard to believe that the money has run out around the world; I mean, I thought you could keep spending without earning forever. (sarcasm warning)

On reading the newspaper this AM it is looking very much as if the whole of Dubai is in a parlous condition, never mind DWP.

Does look bad. but DP World (I think they run the Ports) is doing okay, not sure where P&O Come in

Don;t forget they also own the QE2...

DWP IS Dubai though; its a semi state company which has its finances very much intertwined with the Emirate. Perhaps they can start selling sand as an export!

TFM,
P&O (ferries/ports) Is owned by DWP- come on TFM, didn't you know THAT???

They are selling/ have sold QE2.

Where do you get the info that they are doing ok? When they are 2 billion in the red. (makes me feel quite rich!) As Lord Sir Alan of Sugarpuff says that many companies don't need a bank loan they need an insolvency practitioner, he has a point...

Fair point, Capt J.

Dubai World Ports (DPW or sometimes DWP (dyslexic?))

They own P&O, QE2, some sand, camels and massive debts... Even worse than my overdraft... But only just
