Ok so the figures sounded OK, but the share price today looks
very temptingly cheap - down to 93p last time I looked, it has
been up there 150p or so, and pays a divi.

So anyone hold these and if you do, what's your views?
I'll dig out the share price chart and paste it up in a mo..

Ivester Chronicle have BFP as a buy, maybe oversold?

You will possibly find as many that will agree with it being oversold as will
not agree on here - seems everyone has a view on BFP which is either /or,no-one is luke warm or neutral on it - go with your own thoughts and instincts
as there is no general concensus on this one!

I know that trends don't go on forever. If they did, everything
would either go to zero or infinity. But this chart gives the perspective
on the bounce we are experiencing.
This may be the bottom, who knows? But why should it be?
Trend is still down until it stops.

Nothing has changed. Competition and margin squeeze is still there.
The debt isn't going away and the profits to service the debt, or indeed
provide scope for growth, are still coming under pressure.

Melnibone.

up 8.70% now, not to bad is it!

Not bad but let's not tempt fate just yet....(lol)

For you guys, will appear in the Independent newspaper tomorrow :

Big Food Group soared 7p to 93p on talk that Baugur, its biggest shareholder, is pushing for the company to break itself up. The Icelandic retailer controls 22 per cent of BFG's shares and was said to have vetoed its plans to buy Londis earlier this year. There were also vague suggestions that the value food retailer may attract a bid approach following the recent weakness in its share price.

Same peice in the Times.

Nothing like a bit of bid speculatiion to bring in new support

All 'donations' (comments, spectulation etc) are welcome when it comes to an out-of-favour share!

Times 30/7/2004

Big Food Group kept adavancing, up 1/4p to 85 1/4p on talk that Baugur its 22 per cent shareholder, could back a break up management buyout for food retailer 140p. Although such a proposal is said to have been mooted, it is not thought to have found support from Bill Grimsey, chief executive, or Bill Hoskins, finance director.

Oh thanks for sharing this SeaWall Walker - and we shall sit and wait and see
just when we got our discount cards etc too - now how typical and ironic
would that be!! (lol)

stockbunny I p[honeed my broker on the day and one was ent out arriving to following day. (Does that make sense???)


Seems they hold a load of blank ones issued by BFP.

Try yours and demand it!

You have shares if memory serves both on paper and in a nominee so either way there should not be a problem.

Yes I am waiting for mine to come through - via the paper deal.
Be interesting to watch and see what occurs...

afternoon all,i see you both got your cards.

sorry buns,i thought you had yours,seewall,have you been yet {booker}.

Hi Dave how was the holiday??

nice an hot,but there now seems to be a lot of north african`s around there,lots of russians/italian to,still good value.

You were in Italy weren't you? Well Russia or sections of Russians
have money now so I suppose will start traveling more as well as buying
football clubs and car makers (lol)

I think Russians are great especially when they chuck their cash at Chelsea.

I think anyone who chucks stuff at Chelsea is great (giggle....)
(Giggle....joke....please it was a joke....)

See this is what happens when you grow up with Chelsea fanatics
it warps your brain...(and then you turn into a rabbit....)

Left myself open for that one,I'd be happy if they turned into a Hare(oh no door open)
