Martini, I have kneeled down and kissed both your feet in respect to your hard work doing the Traders thread. Now please go have a good pint and then have a nice lye down.
ps, your feet smell!

Well, I juggled the ball with BB. +8
Divi is 5.75p
Will see tomorrow if I dropped it too early.
Try to buy in at an opportune moment tomorrow depending on it's direction.
Yesterday I speculated about RTO and what I thought may happen, i.e. a buy out by Thompson and a private equity group.
That came up on Bloomberg today as one of three options, the others being a sell off of parts of the company and money returned to shareholders, which was not liked as the company would be diluted, as would the share price.
The third was to back Mc Govern with his proposals which will be revealed thursday. I will be suitably amazed at his ingenuity as I think the company is stuffed at the moment and it needs the help of a Warlock, IMHO.
My money is still on a Sir Clive Thompson takeover. If that happens, expect Rentokil as a clean up within 4-6 weeks. He built up the company and must have been smarting at the way the board ousted him in the "Night of the Long Knives"
So much thanks for a darn good job. Who needs a boardroom full of of Wets??
Any takeover group would not want fiddling within the company while they are considering a takeover which should move things along.
All IMHO of course, but that is what I have my money on now!!
See what thursday brings.
