SP over 3p again
Big spread.

DIS about to start supplying ASDA,WALMART, ?

SP at highest level for 7 years.

Another major supermarket selling REDLEG from May 2017.
I am hoping it is ASDA ****

It might well be CWMAM, Red Leg is already available at Sainsbury's, Waitrose, Tesco, Morrisons and Amazon so not much choice left!

Going North in a big way!!!
Big spread?who cares

I am in for the ride on this one!!

May have some of these if it dips bit more. They may be another success story of the future, My local Tesco had sold out of Redleg at w/end

Now in ASDA

Taken some - Doesn't look like dipping

Excellent volume for this time of day.

Very encouraging!
