Jumped into this bullet proof little number today, mind you its had an incredible run, so I might have missed the big rise. Still if they keep using large chunks of cash to buy shares for the Employee Trust it seems like a no brainer. Anyway adding these to my new "safe" portfolio with ELECO PTI and CKN

Morgan Stanley deal explains a lot.

Good solid director purchase today at 225p should help to steady the ship.

Morgan Stanley = success.I think so in this case.

+2.60 and climbing, aj. Nice to see it recovering.

Yes it'll recover, but probably not as far as 375 or whatever. It shows poor judgement on the management's part that they made such a major error. What's to say it won't happen again?

shares mag says its a knock back but nothing to stop it doing well in the future (but they would say that woundn't they).

a little while ago shares magazine suggested a run to 360-380p area was possible given resumption of encouraging trading and chart recovery - 8p ex div now out of the way and AGM due end of Jan so fingers crossed - sub 10x rating looks low to me given where its historically traded. should be at least 20% upside from 280p levels - I like the story and some yield/chartrecovery to go for - any views out there?

some modest buying starting ahead of AGM statement at end of next week - should break above 300p methinks - anyone else watching this one?

agm delayed to Feb 28th - shares look to be rallying ahead of this now - 300p level now support - so could finally see our run to 360p. any other holders out there?

good positive agm today and shares up - ready for their run to 360p or better I hope - statement is brief but reads well - hopefully any upgrades on half year will provide the next big push. any other views out there? very quiet board.

shares have held stable around 350p for a while next push higher only a matter of time now - move back above 400p now a real possibility.

hit big time by small cap sell off - great opportunity now at 280p

Check this one out...2 stakebuilders and low cap.Tight market. Skies the limit IMHO

Moxon,director,bought 100,000 yesterday and now owns 7.5%.
These are down from 300p and now just 35p.I agree;great potential.

Lots of big trades going through.Poised for take off at 18p.

Can anyone say why the huge collapse in 2005?
Sorry it wasn't on my watch-list and the above posts seems to avoid mentioning anything untoward.
It can't have been the oil-price, or additional security reducing passenger numbers - can it?
Hope someone knows . . .

Accounting irregularities.More recently they had a large placing at 20 pence that has diluted the equity.

Thanks hrfulleruk, today sees 8p . . . and a News release ( Not RNS - why?) that losses may be greater than last year's "exceptionals" - -er, so they were only exceptional by being smaller. . . . . Grr.
I don't hold - always thinking they were rather expensive for something that is really corporate hospitality - a grey area for me being close to ....... Still different strokes, etc. but I must say I prefer a company with an actual product, satisfies a need etc . . . This Co. appears to rely upon winning contracts - and in these times of cutbacks...I guess expensive promotions can be dropped, just spending a little less with a slap-up meal for clients.

I had them for the cheap ferry tickets to Ireland, which have turned out to be very expensive now...doh!!
