i think you would have to say that it is youngs bluecrest. that would make sense as they have recently completed their set of trials.

I was thinking that, and if so thats a fairly big (pardon the pun) fish. Would Youngs be able to buy the technology to use on their own brabd merchandise and other retailers goods or is that precluded by the exclusivity deal?
Probably a stupid question but if it works so well for ASDA then Youngs will want to use it for their own goods at the earliest opportunity.

if it is Youngs surely they supply more than supermarket.like tesco sainsburys, would that mean they can only use there machine for Asda products?

Price back where we started, i thought it would have stayed up around the 30p mark , with the news..

take what I say with a pinch of salt but I dont think its as big a news as it could have been ie Wal Mart & America, thereagain surely its a good step in the right direction.
The only problem for us is that this news was already in the sp and it will take bigger news to hold us over 30p

Agree with 016622, this was already in the price. However good news that the first contract has been confirmed.

Agreed 016622, I think it's holding up quite well. I'm regarding this as consolidating the sp's position before Walmart, a pause for breath etc. before the real boost. A further drop today and I may top up - again.

i think this news was forced out by the price rise last week and discussions are still ongoing regarding firm order for a number of machines.

Because of all the posts about a possible signing with Wall-mart, that is what we were all expecting and because that was not the news we all hoped for the sellers have come in to take their profits until the next rumour.
Bigger and better news will come. Good things come to those who wait. My divorce will soon be through!!!

whichever scale you use it WAS a near vertical rise in a short period, rarely sticks, hence a probable retracement back to 25/26p, averages are always a telling point, take a look at them.

am also waiting for a very slight drop (= another buying/top-up opportunity); somewhere in the 25 to 27p range........todays news is obviously on the right track, but not what many were going on about during the past week.

should be and is ... a day for celebration, hopefully the first of many agreements with ASDA suppliers and you could always hope for a quick frogpack order.
As a seperate issue, the comments from seq & ii have left a bitter taste from this otherwise tasteful and friendly bb. Some of us might have contrary views but mos of us put them across in a civil manner.

I agree with Bosley.
It's great news and we're on our way. Just because of rumours people have got their sights set too high.
A few weeks ago, before the Walmart rumours everyone would have been rejoicing at this news.
Patience is a virtue.
We will be rewarded richly.
