Jax, I must have touched a raw nerve because your response is nothing short of rubbish.

No substance, but my expectations were low to begin with.

Tradesmen are asking far too much money. £300 a day for a carpenter? 280 for plasterers? What is going on?

Today I have been quoted a day rate of £850 for a pair of blockpavers. Common.

funny, my experience is that older site agents don't know what they are doing and are lazy ****ers riding out their last few years. the younger ones eager to learn, motivated and know how to use a computer to produce proper paperwork. each to their own.

Jax, just for you below.

And dont forget, market cap is a mere £20 billion, for a business that takes in EUR 45 billion a year.

The debt is not really a big issue compared to revenues, and assets.

Jax, FTSE and VOD have trended down in tandem since 13.30 today if you cared to look at charts.

VOD going is not going to happen in your lifetime I am afraid.

Hell we cant even get to the 60's you keep promising us, let alone 40's.

FTSE and VOD wobble a bit and look who is back straight away. Welcome back to the board Jax, we have all missed your tripe.

". not posting anymore today!"

Thank heavens. No more tripe today.

Jax, one of your last posts:

"Means 30% minimum for Vod the dog - 40s likely"

Hardly neutral. But you are very quite when VOD is up. Cant take the heat I guess.

You cant even get your 60's, how are you ever get to the 40's?

Funny thing is the children don't show up here when the sp is going up. This means they will soon be permanently disappeared.

Their frustration with VOD is very clear, and they are showing it.

Good luck indeed, you will need it.

Jaxi wrong again!! As usual

Profitable companies with strong cash flows rarely go bust.

"as the benefits of Brexit start to amass"

Probably the best joke I have heard this week so far 😂

Looks like you are the only one getting riled up here.

Can't wait to see more of these elusive Brexit benefits, but fully expect to be disappointed.

Jedclampit, sorry, but you are not factoring in the number of shares the dividend is payable on.

I am afraid you are comparing apples with oranges.

And yet the DAX and every other german indice is doing one hell of a lot better than any FTSE indicie.

Go figure.

Another trade deal for stuff we either don't manufacture or don't need?

Nothing stopped is from trading with India to begin with did it.

Jax if you post something it should at least be true, for minimal credibility.

Findingfeet, it's because other builders don't trade 30-50% below book value. See Taylor wimpey, for example.

I dont think VOD will raise the divi either due to currently low cover.

But the following needs correcting for the benefit of the easily led:

"It’s hard to predict SP moves but I do predict 1.40 is years off. It relies on rates falling to 1%"

There is zero back up or calculation behind this statement. How did mole man come up with the 1% ?? Why not 2%? Or 0.5%?

Just pure tripe.

Looks like it has established a good base to rise from.
