    Quote from link... "from start up to over 4 million customers".

    That's quite a growth in a few months...

    Depends how you count the customers, perhaps. User base was reported as 1.84 million last May.

    If I had a nice job as MD of one of the UK's two FTA platforms, I would think twice before resigning without a job to go to. Could end up in a much less desirable position.
