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
http://www.proactiveinvestors.com
I'd still like to know what they call 'Frogpack' in France - doesn't anyone know?

Oblomov, frogpack in France is marketed as "sack de Grenouille"

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!

Imagine the fallout over which company got the "&" part.

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.

I cannot substantiate this but I understand that France's biggest condom manufacturer is using Frogpack for it's products....it is to supply the need for the weekend Frog's legover.

No need to worry about the "o"s and "ia"s from Czechoslovakia they are now gainfully employed throughout the world acting as sun bed protector attendants for the Germans. Anybody who can work that out has not had enough weekend alcohol yet...hmm or maybe too much already.

After some intensive research I have ascertained that SEO are using the name Frogpack in France for biodegradable coffins.

If you read the first line of my post 15781 above, you will see why I like the concept of biodegradable coffins.
I have always thought that I am biodegradable - (after cremation).

Equally I suppose the French for hopping mad is fou de houblonnage, although perhaps this might be seen to biodegrade the French language. Don't let TFC catch us having fun with his native tongue! (always thought The Frog Collection was an odd name to choose)

The most exciting development at SEO at the moment is Polar Foil. Trials are underway (so I'm told) for a packaging that, though not biodegradable, has the massive environmental benefit of being so efficient at insulation, it can keep frozen food frozen for up to two weeks at room temperature.
Imagine the impact this could have on not needing those freezer lorries, or instore freezers, and all the energy that would save, as well as space in the warehouse etc.
I don't think they've even thought of the possibilities for house insulation etc.
Now this really is big!!!!
