Dairy Crest surged 23.6 to 372.6p after Germany's Theo Mueller Group, which makes M�ller yoghurts, said it had acquired a 3pc stake in the London-listed company. The move triggered speculation the secretive German dairy giant may be lining up a bid for Dairy Crest.

Damian McNeela, an analyst at Panmure Gordon, told Bloomberg: "This indicates that Mueller may make a formal offer for Dairy Crest � they might be looking to widen their product base in the UK".

Tempting - yield now @4.8% at the current price - although long(er) term chart not so good.

Had a small dabble @424.1!

Looks like you've caught the bottom Skinny. You holding for yield and did you buy as an equity?

S/B - they are on my scrap of paper for June dividend cover against FTSE short potential - just bought them sooner than planned - but won't hang around if they fall and obviously will take any reasonable gain.

The falls understandable, strip out the £15m they wouldn't have had from the property sale and its clear this is another premium brand losing ground to the discounters. Also Cathedral City I'm sure I've seen in Aldi at a far discount to Tesco/Sainsbury prices. Tells you something about supply/demand and consistant margins.
