Rumours 18m loss,Howard White wants Martin Wagner out and might call an EGM.Read all about it on iii and Pauls site.sir m is behind a lot of it.Anyhow roll on Wed for hopefully some facts.

Rouge order?

The order book suddenly jumped to 1.17 for a buy order.
2 mill went at this price, then buy order top price dropped straight away. Strange sudden increase then drop. Although not much (2 mill) someone wanted some at a premium.

Greek, Doesn't that mean they are trying to lure buyers in ???

The order I referred to was on the buy side of the book, so this to me looked like tempting sellers. Someone was willing to pay (and did so) 1.17 for 2 million. It worked, as almost immediately it was matched with a seller.
As it has gone quiet since, any early indication withered away. I was hoping for several similar orders to get on the book. It never happened.

Hi all,
Having dug the car out of over a foot of fresh snow this lunchtime with my bare hands and then driven it over 700 miles home through many snow storms across France, I do not right now feel highly inclined to read the last 10 days posts.

I see little has changed in SP or news releases so presume the posts I am missing are the continuing going round in circles of 'informed' or more 'intelligent' posters responding to less informed posts of others !
Please correct me if the last 10 days here are of benefit to read (no offense intended to anyone).

Hi TR,

Nope, that's just about it.

Hi Tony no apart from the rumour mill going into overdrive ,see my post above,nothing of any substance all waiting for tomorrow.

Anyone following moves at the top (of SEO)...?
The way I see it is that Chaplethorpe has been a similar disaster to SEO, so they have got themselves a couple of new execs - one is an accountant (always a safe pair of hands if you don't want any fresh ideas)....and the other comes from a background in finance with - (-0h well, YOU read the RNS...). Now where do you think one of the deposed execs will be going?
Gardening, car-washing, shuffling about the corridors of power (let's hope not, eh?).....
And the other one........he's going to SEO = a real cutting edge company that is a magnet for high-flying execs with profits, turnover and shareholder-value at their hearts.....Grr it looks like SEO is a trial dump for worked-out ideas (these packaging promises)....and similarly with execs - so we SEO shareholders can expect a further delay of six months whilst the new Board gets its act together and then launches a full-out fundraising (more dilution!) so that the execs can share-out the remaing cash before business-needs (the purpose of SEO) overtakes the day-to-day management demands to be cossetted and provided with tasty sustenance, hey-noney freebies and a decent pension advisor.
I'm not sure whether to be glad for the shareholders of SEO or (more-likely) Chaplethorpe [CPL].
Note that both are full-list, have somewhat similar sp but CPL has an enormous turnover.....please DYOR.

Its not surprising when disgruntled holders of SEO and former holders look on the negative side of any appointment; thus hangon's take regarding Standen as the new Chairman. But there is an obvious reason why Lovegrove is leaving and a complementary reason for Standen joining. Lovegrove was Chair over the company when it failed to deliver the promise of its trail-blazing products and is likely to have been eased out by Schroders (assumed as representative of the institutional holders), possibly after a period while they sussed out whether he would deliver. Similarly, Standen will be acceptable to Schroders and thus completes the changed team.

Tony - hope you had good hols. You missed nothing of note. The sp eased back with what appeared to be some shorting (repetetive sales) and has only recovered partially since last Wednesday, presumably with buying ahead of the results. The Times issued a piece indicating results around -5.5m, more or less on expectations. Its been generally accepted, I think, on the board that the RNS is a thing of the past; anything said with the results will be cautious; such comments will be directed at institutional holders (old and new) and will be aimed to show that the foudantions have been properly laid for future developments. Personal expectations are: (a) that the issues related to MMF plant(s) will be clarified and hopefully plans disclosed; (b) that confirmation of the final acceptance of GreenSeal trials will be linked with a new forecast of roll-out. Less than this and one will wonder how the 35m cap. is justified; more, e.g. firm orders, and the sp could start to show progress.

Well my Hols are planned for next year.
Results good re signed contracts, either a 2 week safari in Kenya, or a long cruise.
Journey to/from airport in new car.
Results bad, a short weekend in Hornsea (we live about 14 miles away so will probably walk it). If anyone knows Hornsea you will know what I mean.

I know it's quiet but I bet this starts something

A safari in Kenya or a long cruise sounds a bit more tempting than a stroll down the beach in Hornsea with a Hornsea Pottery mug half full (or half empty) of luke warm tea GM. I've just been out to buy some nappies for tomorrow: if the news/results are not that good will I hang on or let go?, it won't matter if I'm wearing a nappy.

Spent many a blustery day with fish and chips - from the best chippy in Christendom - looking out over the unique seascape of Hornsea during the summer months. (Inside the car with the heating on).

Used to cycle there from my council house in East Hull - when I were a nipper - cod and chips for one and a tanner :)

One and a tanner? Would that have been a penny farthing bike back then? ;0)

Where's this Hornsea?
I lived outside of Nairobi, Kenya for a time.
Would be nice to visit somewhere exotic for a change !

Tony, apart from lions, giraffes etc, open sea and maybe a slight difference in temperature I can't see the east coast of Yorkshire being much different to Nairobi so maybe you should look elsewhere? Rhyl is very nice.............

I have heard Prestatyn is rather bracing in May.

Kim, Yorkshire is exotic. Ever heard of Yorkshire Tea? Ah, how I've always longed to visit those tea plantations that grace the foothills of the Peak District . . . . :o)

From reading the last dozen posts, I see that SEO is still a "wait and see" for me. good luck to holders!

Mad Pad, Prestatyn is bracing all year round, that is why they hold the snooker prelims there, you will often see a Parrot in Prestatyn, such an exotic place.

ST, strange to say, I have a box of Yorkshire Tea in the cupboard (my wife's, I'm a coffee man m'self). And in truth, yes SEO is "wait and see" despite me having a seriously misguided buying finger twitch last week. In profit at the moment though, so basking in my "success". :D)

LOL - well done, mate (re the trade, not the box of teabags)!

We have "Yorkshire Tea" Tea Loaf - delicious! Be even better if I could actually eat the stuff at the moment, but on nippy days like these I get a warm feeling just thinking of those thousands of Yorkshiremen and -women selecting the best leaves from the tea-bushes under a tropical Dales sun.

I am a yorkshire man and got SEO at 0.90p back in Oct so who is having the last laugh now?
