It was the start of a new chapter in my career.

After 10+ years of selling mail order, in 1997 I was raided and had to close down the mail order side. The videos were unlicensed. When the UK couldn't get porn convictions, they made a law that videos were never going to get one. So sacked the staff and relied on magazine set sales and over seas videos sales.

Late 1997 Eva walked into my life and in 1998 we were driving to Czech and back with all the gear in the car. Late that year we found a place in Brno to live and work.

1999 moved here and even though I kept the place in London and we spent much of out time split between the two countries. Employed a PA to lighten the load on Eva as work was building up and she could answer the phone while we were in London.

2000 employed a programmer and from there you all know the rest.
