'Sright! I know of a local male vicar whose name is Beryl.

Reckoned ssanebs post rings true so topped up this morning. I do share the level of anger with SEO's reporting. I know these are results to October 2005 but there is plenty of comment on technical and marketing activity. So why not a comment on the ASDA situation. The likelihood that the exclusivitiy period is extended is not a major problem if they do deliver the 200. However, I have come off the fence and now beleive the break-out will be up, probably on the next encouraging news. Awaiting the Evo analysis with interest. They haven't got their forecasts right but they have been pretty sound on product information and potential volumes.

Had forgotten about Earthport, conveniently. Now, there's a load of charlatans for you. The SEO guys are straight but don't sech to understand the need for precision in their commentary. Whilst II was right to be sceptical about the shcedule for ASDA he had his own agenda which involved forcing the sp down. To me, GreenSeal remains the key product because of the revenue and bottom line flow - the resolution of the problems with first customers supports an sp at 15p (equivalent to annual volume of 600 machines) so sp can move ahead to reflect other opportunities.

ssnab, Interesting post, I am a little short of the readdies at the moment, can you lend us a bob or two for while.

Kim or Steve I like both names.

I was sitting a bar one night and somebody said to me "
Mike would you like to have a drink with me?"
Of course in those days I said yes and we starting having a chat".

A short while later a friend came into the bar sat down with us and we went on chatting.

A little while later the "somebody" left and my friend said to me "Fred, why did you let him go on calling you Mike?"


I reponded "he was buying the drinks."

Have a nice day.

ssanebs - thanks for the informative post - small question: if Mac is the multi billion tray merchant, what product do they need sealing?

sd

Possibly nothing to do with sealing sd, could be just biodegradeable boxes/packaging - get rid of those piles of MacD rubbish lying in the hedgerows!!

kim

Kim, so why need 500-600 machines (which I took to mean G/seal m/c's)?

A possible misunderstanding sd, I remember reading 2/3 years back that MacD were interested in bio boxes to put their burgers in. The 500/600 machines could relate to Wal-Mart suppliers, or another possibilty, products need packing before delivery to MacD so maybe GreenSeal would be used by their suppliers.

kim

That seems eminently possible for their range of salad type offerings. McD do have a brand that demands everything is identical, and to package salad type meals at a central point and then ship may appeal to their philosophy. The idea of lasting longer would make huge headway into their delivery costs.
alan

McD are introducing new packaging in Turin for the Olympics, showing nutritional value, maybe it will coincide with new bio food trays!?!
kim

Without wishing to be negative, are we talking UK or US billion. I guess US. In that case really saying 150 million trays not 1500 million trays. Say they pay us 1 cent per tray which is very unlikley, that is 1.5million dollars or 900,000.

Is my maths correct??

Still holding since 3p

Amongst McDonald's suppliers we have Kraft, Con Agra Foods and Tennessee Bun Company, who last year were awarded a new $20m contract by McD, as a result of which they took on another 100 employees and spent $6.5m extending their manufacturing space. Lots of people to pack lots of stuff into lovely Starpol type packaging!

edit

There was also a historical difference between billions, trillions, and so forth. Americans use "billion" to mean one thousand million (1,000,000,000), whereas in the UK, until the latter part of the 20th century, it was almost exclusively used to mean one million million (1,000,000,000,000), with one thousand million sometimes described as a "milliard", the definition adopted by most other European languages. However, the "American English" version has since been adopted for all published writing, and the word "milliard" is obsolete in English, as are billiard (but not billiards), trilliard and so on.
Nevertheless, the majority of people have no direct experience with manipulating numbers this large, so a significant proportion of international readers will interpret "billion" as 1012, even if they are young enough to have been taught otherwise at school. For this reason, defining the word may be advisable when writing for the general public. However, all major British publications and broadcasters, including the BBC, which long used "thousand million" to avoid ambiguity, now use "billion" to mean thousand million.

Um, does this add confusion?
kim

I have dipped me toe today gents.
Interesting debates would be nice to see
some good news in the next 6 months.
Ted

yes alan but do we mean 150 million trays or 1500 million trays, cos using my generous 1 cent per tray royalty that is 1.5 million us or 15 million us or 900k sterling or 9 million sterling.
sorry seen you have edited

Barney.
If you work from the tonnage and 50gm trays it works out at 1500 million.
Alan

Barney, I will add to my list of questions to SEO how they interpret 'billion'. I'm still waiting for a phone call from them!
kim

Just to explain.
50gm per tray.
20 trays per kilo
1000 kilos per tonne
20000 trays per tonne
75000 tonnes = 1500 million trays.
Alan

Alan, I agree with that.
