Although not directly relevant to HFD, this is nevertheless quite interesting :-
Squeezed by debt crisis, Greeks ditch cars for bikes
(Reuters) - Greece's dire economic plight has forced thousands of businesses to close, thrown one in five out of work and eroded the living standards of millions. But for bicycle-maker Giorgos Vogiatzis, it's not all bad news.
The crisis has put cash-strapped Greeks on their bikes - once snubbed as a sign of poverty or just plain risky - and Greek manufacturers are shifting into fast gear.

We should have a pre-close announcement from Halfords , the cycle, car parts and motor maintenance firm, on Thursday. And it's a share I'm particularly interested in, having been bullish about it a couple of years ago but getting it badly wrong -- the company has suffered from the economic downturn and the shares have crumbled. They reached a low of just 189p this year, but have come back a bit to 260p today.
Is it still a good company, fundamentally? I think it is, though there is an earnings fall of more than 25% forecast for the full year to March 2013. The current dividend forecast suggests a yield of over 7%, but that will only be barely covered by earnings -- so either earnings need to substantially recover, or the dividend will surely face a cut (and there isn't any net cash on the books to really justify maintaining a high payout if it can't be covered).
The interim figures themselves are due in 8 November
