And Wagner's 'termination payment of 128,400 ' - since when did an abortion cost that much?

Are we sure its spelled Wagner and not ******.
Apologies to those sensitive posters still in SEO, if there are any left.

Just back from away. Looking at report. Hmmm...
I never understand how someone who resigns can get termination payments.
Such arrangements are a disincentive to continue to be employed.
Ah - maybe I see!

Spot the difference -
The Board thanks Philip [Lovegrove] for his contribution to the business during his period of service.
The Board thanks Martin [Wagner] for his contribution to the business during his period of service.
The Board acknowledges and thanks Ian [Balchin] for his contribution to the business during his period of service.

Glad the sense of humour still prevails.
I wish i could get a jod where even if I **** up I'd be paid handsomely for my failings.
Surely his bonus and termination should be withheld if he resigned/was required to resign/was a complete F**Kwit.
Sorry i forgot this is SEO and corporate business where 'THEY' know best for OUR money.

That's the big difference between the UK and USA in the business world.
We tend to reward failure, the USA reward success.

Yep,
They've been rewarding a slow progression towards bankruptcy for 25 years.
At least we do it a bit quicker.

Termination should mean Termination.
He might have performed better if it had! Or am I being a tad harsh?

Anyone going to the AGM, or will it be held in a lift, somewhere in Siberia?

Well, if it's in a lift then at least we can be assured that, at some point, SEO will be going up.................and we all know what happens after that!

More likely to be held in a large plastic(bio-degradable) bag.Dont hold your breath!

Please don't get me wrong as I 'm trying not to knock SEO anymore...(well...I'll try anyway !)...but I often come across old plastic bags in the garden at times and these things are possibly no more than 2 years old and they are in tatters, I mean they are disintegrating into pieces....what's this business about plastic bags lasting 100 years... they must be really tough....I have yet to come across anything plastic that's going to last a century.

They all break up to a certain extent - but not completely. The size of the pieces you see are probably the full extent they are going to disintegrate to for a very long time. The small pieces scatter but dont break down. They can themselves into water and pollute that.
Bio-degradable bags are not much better - they just break up into smaller pieces quicker.
Compostable bags completely break down - under the right conditions.

Also they take far longer to break down in landfill when they are buried away from the air. This is where the 100 years breakdown timescale comes from when they are protected from the elements. Also as these plastic bags degrade the poisons they contain mix with the soil. Bio-degradable bags eliminate all these problems.

Oblo you got it wrong(I think),it's "degradeable "bags that breakdown into to small pieces.They are made from petroplastics with an additive that helps them breakdown.I will be at the AGM,dont want to miss the next episode!

Both degradable and bio-degradable break down and as they do both types split it's smaller pieces. They main difference is that the bio type have far less effect on the environment than the degradable. It could be argued that the petroplastic bag does degrade, the problem being the huge time scale. Even plastic bottles degrade over time.
Madpad,
Too far away re the AGM to attend so will look forward to any reports from attendees.
