Has anyone taken over production and distribution of Upshall since Barry Jones retirement?

Kinda sorta. If you google around, the guy that owns Upshall and I think Astley is a .... character, by the name of Moty Ezrati, and he's done some stuff that people found pretty displeasing. There's lots of long threads on lots of forums.

Todd, know the name, not so much about him. But one thing I
know is that he's dead.

You figure he might of left it to you in his will?

Todd,Lets buy out his widow.
You in?

Ezrati died recently.

I've no idea what that means for what he had going, old stock he might have had, etc.

Well... shit. I mean, now who is going to write obfuscatory emails when caught scamming people?? We're running out of shysters in this industry.

Hmmm...

I'm pretty sure Clark "You Can Always Trust Me!" Layton sells pipes that are guaranteed to make you lose weight fast and whiten teeth at the same time.

George,you're not mixing things up using an outboard motor are you?
That's not like you at all

I had heard rumours about Ezrati but they were not confirmed. I suspect it is also linked to the anonymous complete pipe workshop I was offered recently too.

I can see it now... Chris Upshall in big letters on the factory.
