Oblo,

From the 2005 annual report:
3. DIRECTORS AND EMPLOYEES
The average weekly number of persons (including Directors) employed by the Group during the year was:

Management 13
Administration 8
Sales 3
Manufacturing and engineering 28
TOTAL: 52

Garyble,

Thanks for clarifying that :)

With only 13 Management and 3 Sales they must be working their socks off getting round all these meetings with Walmart and its suppliers, Perseco and its suppliers, ASDA, and all the other prospective clients. No wonder they called in Graham Whitchurch to help, probably a few others from around the group too !

Interesting

Tesco to make plastic bags biodegradable
Thursday, 11 May 2006 08:43

Ok, we have seen same comments already, but yet another story re the Tesco push for environmentally friendly bio-gradeable bags. This release gives a timetable of from September. Don't remember if any date was mentioned in the previous releases.

Thanks Gary, Thanks JJS, for the staffing figures. I'm surprised its that many, but still shows how thinly spread they must be given the various fronts they are trying to develop. No time nor manpower for every packaging show.

JJS, I haven't failed anything, let alone dismally! The deal was I wouldn't mention PM1 if you didn't continue to impersonate him - takes two to make a deal!

JJS, Oblomov,

Not taking sides but can you both agree to call it a draw.
I value your contributions as the vast majority of the time you both post interesting stuff, but this spat is spoiling things a tad.
Please either of you, don't take offense, as none intended.

A nice 500k buy at 13.5p just hit the screen :)

Greekman,

It's Oblomov that has this petty, never ending, 'hurl abuse at PM' syndrome, when he's not here to reply.

Considering all the research that PM has done, including setting up a website for it, and a discussion board for those who want to avoid the bashers and idiots, and sent several good ideas to Stanelco, several of which are now in R&D, and could add significantly to the SP if they are commercialised, you would think Oblomov would be grateful !!

Hi JJS,

As said not taking sides, but I do agree PM1 put far more positive input into this share discussion than negative input. I just don't want things to go the same way as they did on that other ( won't mention the name ) investment site. On that same site it was a SS who continually spoiled the thread. I squelched him, but left that site for good due to many posters replying to said person.
Again not saying either of you are spoiling the thread, far from it, but it could head the same way. But I will shut up on this now.

No offence taken, greekman. I hadn't realised it was a spat - just a fairly harmless bit of fun, no more serious than the Eric and Hattie posts. I am a little surprised at how sensitive JJS is of PM1, however. Make of that whatever you will - I just like to see a balanced opinion rather than ramping, hence my posts and hence the mention of PM1.

JJS, chill out, no offence intended - all my posts are posted with a smile on my face (except those relating to a poor SP and lack of signed contracts, maybe).

Ok,

Thanks to both for getting back to me without having a go.

Interesting: the first commercial Greenseal machine in 8 weeks, say end July; current ASDA exclusivity ends 31st July (I believe); so both coincide. Promise of additional 2 months give end September. Also gives time to set up additional contracts based on deliverables. Essentially a year behind and it seems that the idea of retrofitting has gone by the board? Can they pick up the deliveries according to the earlier projections - may be. I have the feeling that matters are coming out well for SEO: they are less exposed compared with what might have been; ASDA have been extremely patient; there has clearly been sufficient proof of efficacy to draw in Walmart. The lessons will have been patient but not costly - compared wioth those of us who beleived their expectations. I actually don't put it down to hype but, as acknowledged, to naivete. They just haven't moved in this sort of 'dirty' market. Fortunately for them, and us, the early promise brought Biotech into the fold and we are now looking at potential which appears to dwarf Greenseal. I accept I came back in too early but now comfortable that the sp has bottomed out and that a significant move forward will happen and probably in next three months or so.

Eric

Eric,

The main question for me in the shortest term, is whether Grampian Foods will now order 40 or 50 machines, as they are obviously happy enough with their machine(s) to allow Walmart to view them, check the quality of the output, and question the staff.

I have asked Stanelco if they can clarify when the ASDA exclusivity will expire, and I will let you know if they get back with anything definate.

JJS,

Just one final post on PM1 then I'll let it go. Just so you know why I have the opinion of him I have and what he's capable of, have a look at this thread, read it carefully and then you may view him differently. No need to comment.

Looking at L2 we will be lucky if this finishes level

Oblomov,

Thanks but no thanks, anyone think it was your job to dig dirt on PM1, get a life !

Greekman,

How is L2 ?

JJS,

It is you who have continuously bought up PM1, not me. I've made my posts to balance your blind praise of him. If you want the truth, read the post. If not, dont. I'm not 'digging the dirt', I'm just trying to say dont believe all he writes and please dont cut and paste it here as if its gospel because it isn't necessarily - we can go to his site if we want to read him, you dont need you to act as his press secretary.

Oblomov,

Now you are lying.

You started all this by insinuating I am PM, I responded by backing his research. You continued slagging him off.

Drop it and get a life !

Greekman,

Back to the topic of Stanelco, what do you make of the number of small trades this afternoon ?
