Whats going on with RO man as i have had a lot of members asking me if hes still trading of late and i have also had a few other RO suppliers phoning me asking if hes still in business .

Any news would be good guys as i have tried emailing him and Emma and i keep getting my emails sent back as a delivery failed .I have tried phoning them and again no answer

No Guessing guys but if you have some facts can you let me know

I have heard many stories but my most reliable is that he may have had a recent brain injury and is recovering
I suggest a change of plan... Let the wookie win

Whilst I have the greatest sympathy with any misfortune that may have happened to RO man, He had other staff and its not beyond the wit of man to change the statement on his website to reflect the real situation and likewise, it is fairly easy to manage the refund of any outstanding orders, together with a short explanation.

At the end of the day, if everything turns out ok for him down the line, he will struggle to regain his reputation as a consequence of mis information.

As above really wish him well if he is ill but as said an offical email or something would have been the best as lots of people are owed money and would stop speculation

Tillysreef, can you remove your above post as at this time without any official announcement from RO man it would only be rumor and so is possibly not accurate.

I have had nothing but good service from them and i hope its a short time blip and if its true that the owner is unwell then i wish him a speedy recovery but he did have staff and i would have liked to think they would have carried the mantel for him in his absence.
