Fred,
i don't give a flying **** whether you beleive what I have written or not. It makes not one Iota of difference to me. You are completely unaware of a web of posters on here who are in contact with each other away from the boards, as the information is sensitive, and who are in close contact with people who know much more than they let on to any of us, but between us, we have a fair idea of what is going on.
Let me make myself clear again, as obviously post 18823 was not clear enough.
Take it or leave it. My source, and the others sources, may be wrong. we could be pi$$ing in the wind. it would seem strange though if many non-SEO staff, independantly and without knowledge of one another told exactly the same lies!!
September(ish) may shed more light on the accuracy of our sources, but for the hard of thinking, I'll say it again loudly.
This should be read as informed opinion and news, not as fact. It is not an RNS.

Just to underline it; post 18828;
I feel very happy about what September may bring, but this is not a blandishment to anyone to buy into SEO or increase their holding. You do so at your own risk. It is also fairly clear that if the reports from Asda and their customers are less than very good, Asda would happily drop SEO much, much faster than they took them on board.
So there appears to be the gamble. If its good, its big, if its bad, its dead.

Alan,
You must resist rising to it. You have nothing to prove or gain.
Thanks for the valued info and entertaining posts.

I know, I know. I'm a sucker for rising to the bait, but I really do get annoyed when I go out of my way to be as factual as possible and always post that it is only a source (recently) or a guess (previously).
Think I might have rubbed old Fred up the wrong way on another thread!!
Alan
(But Thanks).

Last comment, This thread has always seemed to me to be another Ramp and Dump Thread and for amusement only.

Fred,
I agree, its a joke thread. '' my contact at ASDA, no his at Sainsbury or Tesco, maybe the Co op.''

If you feel this thread is a joke why bother to participate?

Why do people, such as Fred1new and aldwickk, post on aboards? They do not contribute any factual information and appear to hate, yes hate the poster's they constantly attack. I have learn't a lot from this board, obviously, you have to accept some information may not be totaly accurate, but the poster generally will admit there may be possibility of this. What I find annoying is the fact that these boards provide information gleaned, often by constant research by dedicated people, only to have their efforts ridiculed and maligned. I have not posted before but felt compelled to do so. My concern is that the informative and genuine posters such as Alan will just get fed up with these attacks and move away, if they do what will then be the standard of this board?, it will be dominated by the likes of Fred1new and aldwickk. Is that what members' want?
Regards to all genuine and appreciative members

Thanks Knol.
Bit more info for you all.
Several weeks ago I posted that Asda were concerned over transportation issues. This I gained from my contact at Asda. I believed (wrongly) that the issue was the transportation of Starpol and its ingredients.
Today Asda have reported their latest pilot scheme to be one where local farmers collect their produce at one farm, package it and deliver it to local stores, reducing road mileage by 6000 miles a month. That was obviously where the issue lay.
That fits with my mention of Yorkshire Fresh produce, whom I have never heard of and mistakenly guessed as being a left over from the Associated Fresh Foods days. I am now of the opinion that it is more likely to be a local collection of farmers preparing to do exactly what is being launched in Cornwall.
Could still be wrong of course, but it seems to fit nicely if you read the Asda news.

knol,
I frequent three BBs and this is by far the most informative and mature. A year or so ago, the likes of Alldick and Fred1view would have simply been ignored or got short shrift.
In short, those elements if entertained would turn this BB into a mirror image of ADVFN's.....I know which I prefer.
I am willing to look at both sides, but admit to still being optimistic re: SEO's prospects or else I would have bailed a while back.
