I'll happily give a Sainsbury's tip. Whatever you do don't get their home insurance! Unless you want to wait for 6 months for them to do a week's repair work that is, as well as having customer service that makes NTL (or whatever they are called now) look a shining beacon to attentiveness.

not really a pub man, but certainly the Donkey does not feature highly on atmospheric pubs .... try Two Brewers or for upmarket, Hand & Flowers, though that is really more of a restaurant than a pub

Cynic, I don't think you read my post properly - the bagged spuds were CHEAPER.
(Unfotunately I live in the middle of nowhere so can't enjoy the delights of M&S or Waitrose.)

Oblo, I don't know if you have had a chance to look at the Euro Patent Office site yet, if so I am wondering if you are of the opinion that there is nothing out of the ordinary there, or do you think that there may be a chance that SEO are beginning to dot their i's and cross their t's in preparation for some real action at last.
kim

you're right; i did misread unless you were comparing apples with pears ..... shows what a rip-off Waitrose certainly is, and i suspect Sainsbury's are similar

Kim,

sorry for not replying earlier - Haven't 'logged in' for a few days.

I'm not sure what you mean by what do I make of it.

Some further info here though

Hi Oblo, no problem. I can't quite get my head around these patent thingies! The latest mention (Publication number:DE602004004117D) is at:-
http://v3.espacenet.com/textdoc?CY=ep&LG=en&F=5&IDX=DE602004004117D&DB=EPODOC

and includes EP1631428 (B1) in the Bibliographic data section, this wasn't in the previous one. Would that be because it was missed off the original (Publication number:EP1631428) by mistake or is it now in addition to the original?

Is it me? Or is it really as complicated as I think it is, yea ok it's probably me!!
kim

Kim,

Have you got the link to the 'previous one' - still not sure what you mean. The latest publication is for Germany.

Oblo, the 'previous one' was the one you mentioned in your post 23722, but now that you have mentioned Germany the penny has dropped (well it did have a long way to go!), so thanks very much for that. The only thing that puzzles me now is, why don't they do it all at the same time, would it save money?!
kim

They were definitely all potatoes cynic! There was only one type sold washed and loose, the same variety in a bag was much cheaper - very odd I know, it seems your wife has the right idea after all.

Kim,

Not all done in the same place - the searching for specific countries may be done in that country - i.e. the countries Patent Office will do them, different national Patent Offices work at different speeds, there may be prolems in some countries with existing national patents but not in others, etc etc.

All this talk of potatoes and patents....... If SEO have bad news in March, then patently they will have had their chips.



I'll get me coat......

Oblo,

Much obliged, it all goes to show that those who work at patenting something do have to put a bit of effort into it.

What do we make of the RNS? Have Barclays quietly been building up a stake?

An RNS at last, perhaps not the one we are all waiting for! Wish I had the brains to understand what it is all about - HELP please !!!!!

Dave

This new RNS is confusing me.

It appears Barclays Bank Group companies (not Barclayshare Nominees which is outside such reporting requirements) have added 36,000 shares.

Barclay, or its companies named, have not as far as I recall, had a notifiable holding before. Have I missed a previous notification?

Considering Barclays profits announced this week they really are splashing out with these 36k shares - under 500 !!

the shares are used by barclays stockbrokers for trading purposes. i'm a bit curious as to why they have increased the number from 6% to 7%. are they expecting some increased activity, perhaps? or am i reading it incorrectly?

Isn't it an increase of more like 29m shares or 372,000 - 1% of issued shares?
