“They could make a Janner version. It would save money by not having any wheels as it wouldn't go anywhere!
Seriously though for the company it's great news. I've seen kids at the airport here in Australia use them.”

“@AverageJoe90
They retail at around £30-£35 each which works almost exactly e.g. 1,000,000/6 = 166666.666'. Then 6,000,000/166666.666' = £36.00.
They are selling well and creating jobs for the region so what's the problem. Some people are not happy if they are not moaning or picking bones about something.”

“has sold a million units across 62 countries after appearing on TV six years ago, the company now turns over £6m a year.
I million cases in 6 years = 166,666.6666 Cases per year?
with T/O at £6m per year now that makes very very very expensive suitcases, Or a Buisness Plan written by a High Street Bank Business Manager who doesn't have a clue!
I am having a 'Pop' at the poor journalism here not the Company itself! - before other readers get on their keyboards... It is great news to see a company expanding and employing more Plymouth locals.
As Viv is busy packing her bags, and Tudor will be next time around due to revolving door politics, how about presenting them each with a Suitcase? Great Opertunity for another picture in the paper and perhaps Viv could put her South African Airways label on the case as she had a holiday at our expense?”
