alan, got it thanks and sent a reply thanking you, do not like the first sentence but generally positive i guess, seems the exclusivity will be extended.

Cheers

So its a six month delay at ASDA, not a two month as a broker's note was quoted as saying.

I read the 'customer' having a 500-600 machine supply chain in the US being Walmart, not Mcdonalds, as has been mentioned, and wouldnt have a obvious requirement for Greenseal. Although 1.5 billion trays is a lot......strange........surely McD's dont need Greenseal.

I'd appreciate a copy of that note if you'd send it alan-cheers!

hopefully by the end of this year.

halfamil,
your e-mail failed!!!
Alan

Alan thanks for that .I wish these people would write in clear english.What does she mean by"the longevity of the tooling".Does she mean"the time taken to convert"or is there a problem with the "lifespan of the tooling".Any ideas?

I think she means the lifespan. If it were the time to convert then there would be real problems. I believe the issue to be part of the retrofit equipment not being reliable enough and wearing out too quickly.
That would account for a full stop at 2, whereas lengthy conversion times would mean we had more than 2, just not as many as we would have liked!!
Alan

IAs Alan said I beleive it was requested not to post any of it anywhere, which bit didn't you understand about that Mad Pad? I guess that's why you have problems understanding the wording of the email.

Alan, I'd be wary of distributing that email freely. I guess if it was from Stanelco to yourself then that's how it should remain. My main concern is that if it is seen that private communications in good faith cannot be trusted then it makes it alot harder for private investors to get genuine answers to our questions (if we have any).

Just a thought.

Biscuit

Actually biscuit, you made me read the caveat on the end and that makes it clear that as named recipient I can send it on or report its contents. It is those not named as recipient who are bound not to copy it.
Alan

That may be so, however, I would still think twice with regards to who I sent it on to.

Biscuit

Why on earth is letting people have a short note written to a private investor a problem?! If they sent it to Alan, I imagine they'd send the same to you Biscuit if you asked.

That maybe so, but it's up to me to ask Stanelco directly. Otherwise you get people like "Mad Pad" then asking questions about what the answer means etc. Therefore filling the BB with more questions and then probably generating more emails! Best to treat all emails as personal and private.

I Believe Sylvia Leavey has probably received several queries re: the number of machines converted, so anyone who cares to request clarification will get the same response!

The situation with SEO has started to remind me of a solicitor friend of mine.
Bear with me, it's a long story.
One day we were discussing how we select staff at interview stage. He told me the most important question he asked was the first one. He always asked "To make a rabbit pie, what is the first thing you must do"?
He argued that the most difficult thing in making a rabbit pie was catching a rabbit and so he wanted to hear the answer "catch a rabbit". He considered any other answer to be prevaricating, and signalled a potential employee who would spend months if necessary, creating a system then wondering where the hell to find clients. He wanted staff who would find the client and then worry about how the hell to process them and make some money.
When I sat and thought about his, there is quite a lot to be said for his approach to recruitment. Even the most fantastic business in the world has one thing it finds difficult. And that is finding the client.
SEO would definitely answer; "Catch a rabbit".
(Cue loads of jokes about Greensealed Rabbit Meat in Asda).
Alan

Alan yes they would say "We have caught 200 rabbits" and they would mean "we are in talks with a number of partners with regard to acquiring an opportinuty to discuss the possibilty of moving forward with industry partners who may have the ability in the future to deliver the possibilty of TWO rabbits

Hi Alan,
From the e-mail you received are you confident that the problem has been accurately diagnosed and that SEO / ASDA really know what it is and are not still trying to work it out? Do they have a solution to avoid it happening on future conversions?

Cheers

Al
Don't let Biscuit see it he gets a bit paranoid, I don't want to see it I'm waiting for my own reply from SEO.

Another fool squelched!

Dawall,

There were two problems, the first was the release of operational machines, as stated in the pre-close update, this was resolved by the acquisition of spare units. The second was the longevity of the tooling, it would seem they don't last as long as they should. SEO are pretty positive that they have solved the problem, hence the 2 units on extended shift trrials.

If its simply a matter of premature wear of tooling, this should be a relatively simple matter to resolve but does and has taken time.

Why are you using Als name what is the problem.

Disassociating myself from those handful of posts. Celebrity does bring its problems ;-)
I have always been a fan of care in the community but stalking someone from the safety of a computer keyboard can only mean a mind too fragile for the real world.
BTW. For those who are new to the thread, anyone who has read it for the last 12 months will happily inform you that I have always been among the more conservative in my forecasts, and always urged a long term view as it was fairly obvious the road would not be the smoothest on the market.

You silly boy. We all know that you are blinger in disguise - a very weak disguise. The language you use is exactly the same as that prat who no longer posts here in his own name.

Pee off back under the stone that you crawled out from under.

Leave this thread to people who really want to have a rational discussion.
