Well Done Dave! I got the 'jitters' cos I did well out of this last
year (as you know) based on take-over speculation, but yes of course
I'm kicking myself for selling out 24 hours too soon!!
Bearing in mind your success on this, might you buy a poor depressed
bunny a glass of wine in the tea-rooms from your gains?? ;>)

sure will bunny,,,you must remember you did well first time around.
we have just had our meeting,it went well.we are still holding our stock and we are optomistic on our target return,will be more than we called 2.60 looks a bargain.we have a price of 2.75 now,a bid would be around that price,hargreaves is looking at 3.00 a share for his 52%.after all its been 2.30+ this morning and there has been huge buys at that price.i have to say this has been a lucky touch for us,and we have had great fun holding it.dom pom,bunny

Just be careful with it Dave - you know it can drop like a stone
at the drop of a hat - I really hope it goes high for you - will
keep my paws crossed.
(And thanks for reminding me, yeah I did pretty well last yr - cheers!)

bunny it wont be dropping this time,we are confident of that.but thanks for the thought.any feelers for your new holding yet.

Considering several options to be honest..nothing sure yet..will
keep you posted.
