If you've never had a sense of humour, you can't suddenly develop one. I findPip's comments fun and somewhat wry and dry. I think your problem might stem for confusing your identity with someone else. Also, you find it painful to laugh at yourself. Pip never does. Nor do I. Rest easy fleecy, your disciples are leaving you. They have finally seen what a complete fool you are. Merry Christmas all.

@fleccy

It's always 'coming years'. Never this year, next year, or the year after. The only thing that will save BT is a bid and the selling off of Openreach and it's workforce. People who go on and on and on about BT being a great investment are only interested in hanging onto their overpaid jobs. They are mostly engineers, prepared to strike at the slightest hint of a buyout. Never mind. They will get golden handshakes when they are assigned to permanent gardening leave. Three cheers. And a Merry Christmas to all.

@fleccy

Yes, memsahib. Like lambs to the slaughter. LOL

@fleccy

It's Coral, not Carol - you dumb turd :)

I'am not a troll snoopz. I have a perfect right to express my opinion about BT being a basket case. And so it will remain, until the bid comes in and Openreach is sold off. Meanwhile, you chaps can go on about what a wonderful investment BT is - attempting to convince yourselves and others that your investments are the answer to a maiden's prayers, when you have clearly only made a pittance of a REAL terms (only just above inflation) over the past 15 years (see post passim). Talk about copper cable retrieving, exchange closures, drone deliveries etc, etc all you want. But it won't change the the reality. BT is done for without that takeover. I'm waiting patiently that it will come to pass. Hopefully, the Good Lord will bring us good news this Christmas.

Coral, apologies I called you Carol by mistake. Would you be titled by any chance, or just entitled? Missing you already. Have a good weekend.

Carol, my respect for you grows apace. Changes everything now I know you've dined with AK. I have just upgraded you to my Bestie. Hope you and yours have a lovely Christmas. Think AK will be out of the door soon. Wish her no ill will. But you know what they say: Too man cooks spoil the broth. Would be good to see BT actually making some money for a change, instead of selling off the family silver.

See you guys are back talking about copper cable and Discovery again. One wonders what BT will have left soon! You'll probably be going on about the exchange closure programme as well. The only thing that needs offloading is Openreach, it's engineers and their pension plans. The Brothers tell me that's all underway now. None of you would know that, of course, as you're not privilege to the information I have, thanks to my enduring relationship with the Mittals. Bid soon. Current BoD to be put on gardening leave for their complete and utter failure to do anything positive. Then Openreach hived off to a consortium. Ah what a relief. Merry Christmas all.

@Aus

Have you noticed that snoopz sounds suspiciously like fleccy when he's attempting to be serious, quite unlike his insulting mode. Could they be the same person? They invariable appear within earshot of each other. Funny old game football.

@Richox

You are quite correct about the 'squeeze'. However, it's coming to the point where BT is going to be forced to realise shareholder value by selling off Openreach. With Openreach as a a 'consortium' of infrastructure builders, there will be no need for regulation, and the remaining of BT will be able to operate in a truly competitive environment. If things are left as they are, BT will just stagger on, hoping and praying for Altnets to go bust. That's no way to run a business.

I'll put it simply for those who refuse to understand. If you invested £1,000 in BT 15, 10 and 5 years ago and reinvested all your dividends (allowing for inflation and the two years when there were no dividends). Here are the PROFIT AND LOSS figures:

15 years ago REAL LOSS -£138

10 years ago REAL PROFIT +£372

5 years ago REAL PROFIT +£97

THAT'S OVER 15,10 AND 5 YEARS. How can anyone say BT is a good investment? How many more years of decline? Wake up guys. Look forward to a bid. It's the only good news you'll get this year.

Reckon someone should report your posts fleccy, for knowingly leading people up the garden path when you know that BT is in a parlous state. You've been doing it for years. And you throw your toys out of your pram when your misrepresentations are revealed. Grow up, old chap.

You'll be able to retire in it soon fleccy. Good luck to you and the bid for BT

@snoopz

Thanks for your thoughts fleccy. Much appreciated. Seems all you can do is insult people. You only end up insulting yourself, because people see you or exactly what you are. Please start talking about BT instead of insulting others. Nite nite

If I invested £1,000 in BT 5 years ago, 10 years ago and 15 years ago what would my investment be worth today for each tranche of shares bought if I reinvested all my dividends, allowing for inflation and the fact that divis were suspended for two years? I asked Grok this question and double-checked it with ChatGPT. Here are the REAL responses I received . However, some would have you believe that BT is a great investment. My humble suggestion is not to believe them. SimplY check the REAL PROFIT and LOSS at the end of each short summary. Thanks for listening...

Another fleecy clone! What's all this about waiting another few years. BT has had more than enough time to get it's act together. You would appear to be yet another fleccy apologist. Bet you don't want a bid. Am I right?

@foobar

Thanks for that post foobar. Good to know. Only 5 years away. Got any news closer to NOW. That's the problem with guys on here. Always going on about the future. Never the current decline. Wake up, dear chap. Smell the coffee. BT is losing customers hand over fist. It has nothing left to sell but Openreach. There's a thought. Why not get rid of Openreach, the militant Openreach engineers and their pensions in one fell swoop. Bid for the company from my Besties Mittal Bros. Then hive off Openreach. Good for everyone. What's not to like. Does everyone agree? Hope so.

@fleccy

Methinks thou dost protest far too much fleccy. Everyone but a fool can see through your nonsense double-talk. Would seem there are plenty them on here, given the number of likes your distracting post has attracted. Never mind, a bid for BT will come soon - with or without your blessing and the blessing of your nauseating followers; the majority of whom appear to be you in disguise. The company cannot continue to function for much longer in its current parlous state. Roll on the inevitable bid.

PRK, when someone is telling you that black is white, there is no point in debating with them. Fact is that the BT share price has hovered between 99p and £2.45 for the last 5 years, for two years there were no divis. And now fleccy is attempting pivot the argument to talk about Voda and regulation. He appears to be in awe of failure. Luckily, I don't have a huge shareholding of BT now. I left some in because I am hoping for a bid. Without one, I can only see doom and gloom, especially after the forthcoming budget. We have a business unfriendly government and a BT BoD who can only see getting rid of assets and cost cutting as a way forward, while losing hundreds of thousands of customers. It's all very well talking about futures. But where BT is concerned, those futures never seem to materialise.

Yes expat they must have a new bunch on grads on the moderator bench. So fleccy and his gang, most of whom are fleccy, are taking advantage an complaining about any personal comments. What a bunch of ah-so's. Have a good weekend.
