Not the most exciting share, but with safeway conversion now complete (and how much better the old safeway stores are now) the shares should start to come back. Already started a nice rise from a recent low. Costs for conversions will still hold the price back but when that is out of the way, should be be nice. 190p

have added a few more today they are going to jump very soon to over 300p div is over 3.5 percent

the mms are trying to fill a big order over the next 2 weeks

Would that be yours TANK ?

cc . i look after my own my self i have been buying for weeks
and just for you i have so far bought over 820k worth and looking to put more cash in to these . the interest rates are crap this way i can take 21k in divs and no tax thanks i am retired and claim no benefits .

the wife gets a bit nervous

Good for you Tank, good luck mate.

cc i am 63 and just enjoy the fun and trill of the hunt .
when i was 20 i did not have a penny .
my two children are well taken care of
i dont want anything only a few pints and good food
i do not waste money on mobile or pay for tv
that is for fools

Well done TANKER, Iam in a similar boat and endorse all you have said in 126 but my dear lady suffers from dementia. SD

i do not waste money on mobile or pay for tv - that is for fools
no, it's just what other people choose to spend their money on .... for myself, i like to wine and dine well and to go on quite nice holidays ...... as they say, you can't take it with you

No pockets in a shroud cynic SD

that's why the kids frisk you first if you're going to be cremated

cynic .i have done most things in life .i here these people complain they have no money for food petrol and heating but they can have sky and mobile on and talk all day . it is a bloody joke .stop all benefits .they should only be for the disabled
and if they can not find a job then put them to do cleaning around where they live
do work at hospitals old peoples homes if they do not then let them starve

tanks - you have friends on the gaza thread i think lol! ..... actually, i don't disagree with much of your underlying logic, but believe me, jobs are in very short supply even if you have a good education, and totally dire if you do not ..... for sure some play the system, but the majority genuinely try very hard to find gainful employment

cynic. i would say that 80% do not want work .

have added a few more this morning . 300p plus is on its way .and a nice div for the
next 4 years it will be over 4.75% next year
cynic i will have enough 100k next tues hope they do not go up to much this week
will put it all in these good return and growth. and safe

but remmember it is only 35k before 40p tax but 70k for hus and wife

in that case you're very seriously out of tune with reality ....

2 of my 3 children have been made redundant 2/3 times each over the last couple of years .... both have really good degrees yet my daughter in particular found it unbelievably difficult to get a job in her field and it's not particularly esoteric ..... children of one of my clients who are not so fortunately educated, struggled for over a year - one for nearly 2 - to find even menial jobs like driving or working as builders' labourers

clearly your children have been more fortunate

cynic .yes both of mine have there own business .my grandson is at uni he is going to be a maths teacher he also runs a gym and leasure center he comes home on friday and goes to the centre all weekend and loves it and they al iike him . my grand daughter is a artist and going to start her own business . but hope your children find there future . i have thought about starting a small company for something else to do i could get plenty of work in building and could employ about 8 .

art as in fine art or as in designer?

fortunately all 3 of my children are gainfully employed - grandson excused as he's only 6 months old (but claiming incapacity benefit already)!

designer . just back my local mrw it was packed . i spent over 120

and jolly good luck to her, especially if in fashion ..... very high mortality rate, and an awful lot more to running your own biz than just having talent (as i know you know) ..... furthermore, and i expect you've budgetted for it, she's going to need very significant financial support in that field!
