Oh dear. Not too much up with the market, are we ?? Demon is
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Thus PLC, a company with a full
SE listing, what's just popped into the FTSE-100 for a brief

Oh, and your car analogy (like all car analogies) is flawed.

IME nearly all garages just _don't_ do what you ask them to
first time. They mostly seem to survive though. Leasing companies
claiming to "manage" your fleet are even worse. I don't see
Lex about to go belly-up, though.
