Why would we want to put our name to that sort of shite. That’s not what made Britain great.

We were pioneers.

Friends Reunited was essentially facebook before its time - only facebook killed it off!

Sadly its often the British way, invent something, then let someone else copy it, polish it and market it in a better way.

Friends reunited?

Such a clever business model which charged people to contact friends.

ITV's purchase of the site (under Michael Grade) was one of the worst deals on the dot com bubble.
