Just some history.

TRF was a going concern with a good inventory until Charles Runyon 
decided he wanted to live his fantasy of being a pub owner during WWII.

He dipped heavily into the TRF operating funds to have an authentic 
early English pub built with large timbers and all the trimmings.  First 
class all the way and from what I hear it was a very good quality 
"English pub". The local folks evidently thought of it more as a fancy 
place they went to for special occasion rather than the pub down the 
street here they would stop off at after work for a bite and a drink so 
it didn't make money.

Meanwhile TRF was threadbare with little inventory and no cash to buy 
inventory.  Charles thought up the TRF Investment Programme as a way to 
rise funds to buy inventory to sell.  The programme has been going on 
for what?  maybe a decade now and the company is still afloat.

If you are going to rebuild your 3, you might as well loan him 5K to 
help him buy the parts to resell to you.  He is local to you.  But so is 
Moss.
