Statement Regarding ILFORD Photo / POLAROID

"What's cricket? ;-)"

Someone famous described it as "a cross between baseball and death".
Not my words, please don't throw balls at me

[Dinesh]

.......please don't throw balls at me

Don't you mean bowl?

[rorye]

God no, don't throw bowls at me either...

[Paul.]

Sad news Simon but fully understandable, I would sooner no Ilford instant film than no Ilford.
Thanks for trying.

Regards Paul.

What's cricket? ;-)

It's a popular sport in the English speaking countries.

It's a popular sport in the English speaking countries.

Ammend that to "some members of the soi disant British Empire that speak English".

Just poking fun. I've probably gotten myself into a sticky wicket!

What's cricket? ;-)

I read that a high school in NY has introduced the noble sport recently - it's much like baseball but with less running.

Try Lacrosse or Jai Alai.

"Rugby, we should play Rugby."
"What are the rules?"
"What rules"?

I think the issue is that Polaroid can get more by selling the land to real estate developers than a manufacturer would be willing to pay for the facility at the current location for the purpose of manufacturing, otherwise Polaroid would just continue to run the lines themselves.

i would agree.
property in the 128-loop / boston area is worth a pretty penny.

I know what cricket is; I built a cricket pitch in my basement as a kid.

Now that there's about a page of comments about my less-than-serious post, could someone please direct me to the Ilford Press Release? I can't spend another 5 hours looking for it; I'd like to post it in the photo department so they can pull more of tehir hair out trying to figure out what the HELL they are going to do next semester.
