"In a year when London was host to many new records I am pleased to report, yet again, record turnover and record profit; and I shall never tire of saying record dividends."

Sold my holding, good run since start of Jan

another £1 a share, well done drinks on you soon.,.

Tap water Bb. January 2012 was for me a very good time to buy shares . Lets see if Jan 13 is. Thanks Bb, Im not yet matching your £2 a share lol

Hell I don't know when that was, making small lots at mo, can't seem to find the real money.,.

I believe you Bb :-)). All to easy to find the ones that run South. I have scaled down, with a few more to sell yet, just to get a break from the computer. Do not want to be in the likes of RRL to get home and find its lost 25%. You will hit the big one soon.

Sp halved today, after Co. issues a large block of shares.

Odd then that Co said in Oct 2012, (DYOR) they had "record profits" - yet within two months* they are shafting shareholders, by way of the slack-shares issued for the Pension Fund (my words) . . . as always, I could be wrong . . . but this co. is not well-covered here. [Last=2Oct2012].

* since this arrangement must have been initiated before the Christmas break in Dec.

It was a one for one offer hangon. DYR!

Two for one!!
