David put in his 3 practices into the newly formed IDH, the rest of us cash, so we all risked a lot to get going, David more than most as it was his vision. David and I then built up the group to own 100 practices, 12 laboratories and a product company. We had tremendous fun, made decisions on the hoof, but as we grew the corporate pressures became tougher and I left. I do remember introducing you to David, and totally agree with your professional respect of him. I liked you at the time too! I speak to him occasionally, he is still the same the grounded, honorable family man. Good move and good luck, ignore the cynics, life & business moves on, even in dentistry...... Chris,

Don't you realise Mr Barrow is now in competition with you!! Thats right , he's after your patients, your associates, your team and your profits. And because all you mugs have been paying him to build up a nice little database over the years, he knows where the most profitable practices are situated. Wise up fools, haven't you learned anything from the thousands of pounds worth of business coaching? “Yeh Chris, Go Chris, You’re the greatest Chris”

CB, you little Tinker !! All the best for the future, hope things work out for you. Personally I'm finding this quite a motivation to ensure my practice is fantastically disireable so you can " make me an offer I can't refuse ". I shall watch the story unfold with interest. CF Well, well well !

Didn't he come back from the dead? I know that you have worked miracles in my practice but even for you, resurrection is beyond your powers. Julian's comment about the thaught of you and Annie on a Saga cruise made him pee himself- I don't think I've ever met Julian but by the sound of it he would fit in well on a Saga cruise.I don't know whether they charge extra for the pads!!!!!
