I think the terminology makes little difference. Either listing with a raise or not, with I believe similar procedure including a prospectus.

No benefits to be found in this environment.

Yet there will continue to be work which is not discretionary, and work which is at the top end of discretionary spend against other less value enhancing options.

On my reading, DIY is not the worst place to be in a recession.

I like to think the market has already priced in its expectations, by read-across of results. Capital allocation policy to be reviewed with the next update.

Whatever he may have to say, he will not be lacking in positivity.

As it is, at this price I consider myself locked in, with hopes for a positive outcome based on business as usual with what Ggp has, and expectations of free cash flow at some stage.

The building supplies market has become noticeably softer according to recent reporting, so I expect that to be reflected in the next trading update.

Advert and so on.

You will only know that if you are one of them keen enough to listen to the ( 7 hour! ) Pink News recording. Well done you! Though goodness knows why you bothered.

As it is, the company says the remarks are taken out of context. Presumably by the one activist, who put his spin on it, published, and parts of his single minded internet campaign trail stuff was repeated. In any event, they’re factually wrong.

Anyway, what court case is this? Which customer is it that whilst having the opportunity to shop in Wickes as normal, hived himself off to B and Q instead for his bag of sand having given deep consideration to trans matters and self identified as being accused of bigotry? And all the while considering his court case.

Can’t think there’s many like that. Unless Wickes customers are a very great deal more cerebral than they appear, whilst also strangely being equally gullible.

I don’t expect to see a heading and figures in future updates and results devoted to ‘ the trans affair.’

All tied up with this.

And pigs might fly.

David Wood CEO, on the COO and Wickes position..

‘Fraser is a passionate supporter and advocate for inclusion. diversity and the

LGBTQ+ community and the comments he made have been taken out of context. I would like to assure vou that. at Wickes, we pride ourselves on being an inclusive emplover. We fully respect that everyone has their own opinions and beliefs and we want evervone to feel welcomed in our stores, except, or course, for those who display abusive behaviour.’

I have no reason to expect a general meeting until next Spring.

I do, however, expect a trading update this month.

Homing in on just one, in my view correct, aspect of Wickes broad support for minority groups, taken out of context when all reasonably behaved shoppers are welcome, may itself be said to be narrow-minded in your consideration of a company’s social governance.

Repeating old articles does not further your case.

We disagree, so I shall leave it there.

I feel some are continuing to get a bit carried away in their posting with this manufactured storm in a teacup. The CEO is content with company policy, and has explained that the COO remarks were taken out of context.

There will be no change in company policy as well-promulgated, or the COO.

Shouldn’t think we’ll get definitive to be relied on til we get the RNS.

‘Greatland appreciates that shareholders may have questions about the Reorganisation and if the Reorganisation is pursued, shareholders will be provided with detailed information to consider ahead of a shareholder vote on the matter.’

It may be in the terminology.

On old reading I anticipated a prospectus, which can I understood be replaced by an information memorandum when no capital is to be raised on listing, ie a compliance listing, or intended to be raised within 3 months.

So I had in mind the process, documentation, would not be dissimilar to an IPO.

That’s just my thoughts.

It does mean nowt, doesn’t it, if one takes the figures, above or below mid, as proof of buys and sells.

Mentioned so often.

I was more comfortable with alternatives when we were trading higher, but there you go.

I just see it as a potential catalyst for change, the results of which will be tied up in corporate actions, which may or may not be popular with individual investors. It’s a complication.

I mean, it’s open to conjecture that everyone is out to get Ggp pi’s by all sorts of skulduggery, whilst buying shares themselves and so on. I’m one of those that don’t buy into it is all, starving Ggp out and all the rest of it.

Doesn’t stop others going down that road if they want to.
