I don't think it meant split as in two separate companies, I think it was more corporate structure. What would be the point in building a ful Turnkey packaging solution and then breaking it in two????

Cannot believe people are even thinking about splitting SEO let alone talking about it. They haven't made anything yet that is providing a substantial bottom line and to even consider splitting into 2 now is farcical. I think you should all stop talking about it as how many times have you seen stupid rumours become engrained as reality. I would much rather Howard White and co. got on with their negotiations and delivery and get some orders racked up for 2000+ US Greenseal conversions with some Starpol thrown in for good measure whilst keeping their costs to a minimum. Greenseal / Starpol could well be inseparable in future, ie packing companies have to take as a Greenseal/Starpol package not just the Greenseal.
Anyone remember the 150 US engineers signed up this time last year for rapid US roll out?

Dawall, chill out.
Oily made a bit of a slip on the first post on the subject and everyone since has ridiculed the idea.
Oily only did it to get a bit of life in the thread. No-one is suggesting it happens.

But it could happen of course, and there could be an RNS about a week on Monday and I could be a millionaire by tonight or Howard might just read this BB and say to himself "I'd better give them the good news before they tear each other to pieces"!! ;-)

I have it on very good authority that Howard posts on here under the screen-name blinger.
Just you watch for how super informed those posts are and you'll see what I mean.

The reason why I raised the subject on this board is because EVO's latest broker's note on SEO mentioned the possibility of one division being floated separately and I thought it would be useful to fill some of the time while we wait for hopefully good news to discuss it.

The next news will be good, Oily.
It's just how long are we prepared to wait?
12 months ago we were all saying how this one would be a good one to stick in the bottom drawer and forget about till we were old and needed the money. Now the board is full of people moaning that its not megabucks now.
I am more confident in the long term prospects for this than I have been since I bought the damn thing.
But you're right. Its fun to have a debate, even when there's nothing to debate.

It's good to debate nothing sometimes, then nobody gets upset and nothing bad ever comes of it (or good). I've got nothing else to say really.

Oily Hi,
Thought your top post read a bit strange. Proves how easy it is to miss one very small bit in a post that puts completely the opposite slant to what was intended. Nice to see that although the following posts disagreed with you ( on the splitting up ) no one had a personal dig.
These threads have gone back to being a great read.
Cheers Greek

Oily,
It wasn't EVO's broker note that suggested a split was on the cards ( i'd take it more seriously if it had been).
It was the article on proactiveinvestors

I'd still like to know what they call 'Frogpack' in France - doesn't anyone know?

Hello once again,
I have a feeling news will arrive early next week, how about you ?
There is only so long that shareholders in Stanelco are held on tenterhooks before news is forthcoming, and it feels like about the right time to me :)

oblamov - at least if they split B & Q we'd know what to call the two new entities!

Yes stockdog - and the second name would be very apt, in my experience!

That always bothered me about the break up of czechoslovakia.
People went on and on about the plight of the czechs and of the slovaks. No one gave a damn what happened to the poor "o"s.

Boe de houblonnage. (Hopping box)
