Headington-based Blanchford Building Supplies closed down earlier this year after 87 years of trading after underperformance and a cash flow issue had rendered it unable to buy essential stock.

Administrators were called and revealed Blanchford, which also had sites in Bicester, Wallingford, Princes Risborough and Haddenham, had racked up debts of more than £3.3m to suppliers.

Forecasts in the summer suggested creditors would only receive 2.7p in the pound back from debts owed to them.

Fans erupted in laughter and hilarious references after New York Giants kicker Younghoe Koo failed miserably during his field goal attempt in the second quarter of the game against the New England Patriots.

The Giants sent out Koo to hit a 46-yarder. However, instead of striking the ball cleanly, Koo’s foot got stuck in the turf as he completely missed the football. The holder, Jamie Gillan, tried to salvage the play, scrambling with the ball, but was quickly tackled for a sack, resulting in a turnover.

This field goal attempt will never go down in the books as the ball was never kicked. Instead, the holder will take a sack against his name.

“Younghoe Koo got some Ohtani-level gambling debt,” one fan hilariously…

Lighthouse Travel, previously Island Coach Services LTD, closed last month (November).

In a statement on its now-shut down website, the business blamed the ‘economic climate’ for its closure.

Before shutting, the company had provided school transport for the likes of Ryde School.

It is described as an executive private hire and school contract provider on the south coast.

According to Companies House, Caroline Duke-Glover was appointed director of the business in October 2022.

A statement from the firm reads: “We would like to thank all of our loyal customers…

It is a hard time to be a stock investor, especially if your money is tied up in banks and non-bank financial institutions (NBFIs).

Sentiment had already been fragile after the merger of five banks wiped out an estimated Tk 4,500 crore in shareholder value, leaving many retail investors increasingly cautious. Now, with the regulator clearing the way for liquidating nine NBFIs, including eight listed ones, ordinary shareholders face potential losses of Tk 1,450 crore.

The combined impact sent alarm bells ringing across the capital market yesterday, with 83 percent of stocks on the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) falling. NBFI shares saw a steeper drop, sliding 87…

Public housing tenant Mel Fisher is one of the many Australians in energy debt. She is $6,000 in the hole and expects it will only keep getting deeper.

“It’s not getting better,” she told Yahoo Finance. “I am absolutely dreading the summer because I know that debt is going to get higher and higher.”

The 43-year-old has built up the $6,000 debt over a period of about six years and has to chip away at it by using her Centrelink payment each fortnight.

The Adelaide resident is one of the growing number of Aussies facing debt repayments after falling behind on their energy bills – something nearly one…
