Dairy Crest's (DCG) first-half numbers are released on Thursday, and Peel Hunt's Hall is pencilling in pre-tax profit of £21.6 million, down from £21.9 million last year, due to a challenging diary market.

Analysts' expectations: Profits from property disposals are to be partially wiped out by the dairy division losing £4 million in the first six months of the year.

"The major processors have now reduced their prices to farmers, and this has brought input/commodity prices more into line – this should ensure a much better second half performance in dairy," commented Hall. "Meanwhile, the key brands are continuing to perform well, with sales growth of around 4%."

He reckons investors should 'buy' Dairy Crest, putting a 550p target price on the stock

I live not too far from M1 turn off no. 15.

Howdens have put in a planning application to build a 2m sq ft kitchen factory right on the NW side of this particular motorway turn off. If successful, it will require re-engineering the entire motorway turn off.

Meanwhile, not too far away on the ENE side someone else is building a 345,000 sq ft warehouse. It looks absolutely massive and the workmen have been using about 6 Cherry Pickers to erect all the steel frame work.

Absolutely massive, did I say? Nah! The Howdens factory unit is going to bigger by a factor of 6.
