I think we can lay the blame for the demise of the Amiga in the UK ,quite squarely at the feet of Mr David Pleasance........."I'M THE DIRECTOR,WHY WOULD I ASK ANYONE FOR ADVICE,I KNOW EVERYTHING!" he is reputed to have said when asked in an interview if he would like to hear from Amiga owners in the UK about their ideas for the future of the machine.
Remember the Ark was built by amateurs.The Titanic was built by professionals.

That most definitely does not sound like David unless he was joking. Mind you it could be argused that being as he put together the A500 Batman pack that there wouldnt have been much of an Amiga market in the Uk without David Pleasance, and don't forget he and Colin (Proudfoot) ran one of only 2 divisions in the entire CBM empire that was making money. They both had some great plans for Amiga International - which would have ben the evolved form of Commodore Uk if they had bought out the Amiga and bits of Commodore at the auction instead of EsCom. All what ifs, but David seemed to be a damn good bloke and often listened to ideas and suggestions in person.
Now if it was Jonathan Anderson..... that I would expect.
