Afaik someone here either saw or read that she did and Christian is dragging it up in a pub somewhere.
Presumably he injected cash into the company that was his personal savings or he took out loans to get cash to inject in, that were secured on his personal property/assets. So when the company went down he will have lost what he put in.
Suppliers etc won't be paid by Mark though, if they are it'll be pennies.
I agree, it's only one more episode, but I had to earmark this one by commenting on it so as to keep up with it until after Sunday!
He wasn't the only investor in the company. He said as much in the last episode - someone had invested the year before, which pulled the hotel back from the brink then, when he was 15 says away from closing it completely.
Someone posted on another forum she is working at the Gleneagles hotel
Presumably the Gleaneagles Hotel Torquay and not the rather good namesake in Scotland...
I was thinking about the series and Alison and it struck me; maybe it got lost in the edit (or maybe a Reservations Manager's job isn't exciting enough for TV) but I never saw her do any actual work.
thanks, so not really known for sure then
and BIB, quite she seems a right lazy lump to me, just good at shouting and applying lip liner/stick
Not surprised her and Christian had trouble finding similar jobs, they hardly shined as model employees.
Like many seaside towns, Torquay hotel owners like using established brand names!!
There's a Grosvenor House as well as The Grosvenor.
And one sneaky owner named their hotel The Berburry (just switching the e and u).
I've popped into the Spar (I think there's only one) a couple of times but haven't spotted Alison.
And you based that observation on watching an extensively edited programme.
Do you have your autograph book on the ready?
If you do, I dread to think what her response would be!
It comes from here posted by a guy who was on series 2

As for Mark....
8.00 The Hotel
Despite the hotel being up for sale, Mark wants reservations manager Alison to run the hotel when he leaves, and although far from convinced, she agrees to take over on a trial basis and quickly realises she must get the staff in line.
Wow, that should make interesting viewing on seeing how Motormouth Alison copes in dealing with the hotel staff in contrast with Mark's way...hmm.
I didnt realise this thread was here :eek:
It didnt come up on my "subscribed threads" as I hadnt posted in it :mad:
At least I found it in time for tonight!
I Tweeted her today asking her what she was working at now. She didn't reply. Ignorant moo. :sleep:
still there in the form of a cardboard cut-out:D
