…..?

This will hit Tour, not cruise. As I said previously, any brand associated with Saga, ie TITAN they will stop selling.

Did we ever hear anything about the buildings sale? Or have I missed it?

I’m never right so don’t know why I bother. But just for fun

308

Did you manage to get in Jack? :-)

Or you too busy abusing other posters? What do you actually own anyway?

Thanks BB. Great work as always. At these prices, how can you not buy. Simple as that really.

Travel has recovered. Putin is the only concern.

That’s right Jack, and some more now at £2.64. Thanks for your concern

Must be running out of steam now!

Been away for a while. Sold at £3.35 seems like ages ago now. Bought in CARD and WRKS at the right time. Took my money and waiting for my entry point again.

As most of you know my background, I can tell you that holiday bookings are back in full swing!!! Finally turned a corner now and back making money! Been too long. Let’s just hope Putin doesn’t throw his spanner in!

Wasn’t the party in York at 5.25!? Haha

P.S. I got a feeling Saga is about to blow! Bought a load on a CFD just now.

Cheers lads, appreciated

Any thoughts on where this could go?

Good luck everyone. Put my Card profit in here.

A bank or hedge fund probably found out Lisa from Chelmsford store got a cold last week so SP will drop 15%.

On top of that - TITAN will suffer as agents will avoid it as it’s owned by Saga. And that is not a discerning product. It’s a mass market tour operation with huge competition and also a massive cash burn as we have all seen. AKA ‘The Dog’!

Hi Martin - I agree and disagree. Totally get your point. But all they had to was give those ‘specific’ agents a commission uplift, or there own Commercial contract or access to maybe nett rates.

So instead they have p***sed of lots of agents that maybe only did 1 or 2 bookings a year, but times that by say 500 agents. There was a better way of doing it.

See some comments below-

I don’t get it, was this their long term plan? Use us to help build their customer audience, then pull out so they think they can cut us adrift from our customers.

Katie Powell we used to book a few river cruises with them!

Stephanie Rose no longer using saga ??

TUI are typical of doing this - then they always come crawling back.

Agents who have been dropped by Saga have expressed disappointment that the operator no longer wants to work with them.

One described the move as a ‘slap in the face’, another said it was ‘short-sighted’ and a third said it was ‘ludicrous’.

The over-50s specialist has written to agents saying it is making changes to its business and is reducing the number of trade partners it deals with.

In a statement, Saga said: “As Saga customers return to travel throughout 2022, we have made changes to our business to ensure we are delivering the holidays our customers want.

“As part of this, we are moving to work with a smaller group of trade partners to enable us to more closely collaborate and build stronger relationships.

Silly totally unnecessary move .

Since 5.30 haha! Good luck everyone

That was just a UT. Happens everyday at 16.35.

Stopped doing £ predictions after always being wrong…but as this is all about the debt I predict.

Record Xmas trade sales, with less footfall, but much much bigger basket price and margins, as people shopping in bulk with the Covid trend. Including the extra online business…..an extra £18-20m or 3 months payments being paid towards the debt early to bring down nett debt, but still holding good cash reserves for any rainy days. Therefore less pressure on the remaining months, or a lesser amount per month being possible?????
