Marstons are closing their Wychwood brewery site @ Witney. Shame, loosing their 'craft / real ale' beer production. Carlesberg mass product from now on. Where do we go from here?

Dumpy - you are so correct with your analysis of L Truss,

Brixton is so incorrect - you can be blue and honest.

Our CEO has beefed up the board quite considerably over the last six months with some high ish profile business professional and those with good business and scientific links. These people would not join a sinking ship or even one marooned in stagnant water. They are not joining SCLP just for 12 months of salary to then be abandoned by a failed company. They must have been sold more than a dream to join the board. We have seen bumps in the news and share price road along the way, this month is no different. Will we have a commercial product or two to sell? Will we have that long hoped for cancer treatment - not one of us PI's know - but we hope for both. Buy some shares - no reason not to. Sell some shares no reason to sell - unless you need the dosh or can't wait for THE news which may be good or maybe not! To date not one of us know, confidence is not based on the views of a few posters on this board. I will wait for some genuine news before I make a decision on the viability of the company. Take care all, enjoy the Rugby.

The cat is out of the bag! Bangor Uni is working with RR developing SMR's. Lots of speculation over the last few months about this research but no actual specific data. Today it comes through the back door. A BBC article about power generation. Bangor Uni developing a nuclear power source the size of a grain of rice, this is being sent to RR, who are developing the generation unit as big as a car - for the moon!! Presumably it can then be scaled up for use on terra firma, exciting times.

A good spot BB. Thanks for posting - helpful research.

Pre covid Southend / ESKN appeared to be making progress and I felt was a fair bet to progress into a viable company based on air travel and the bio mass business. They seemed to be overcoming poor management decisions and the greed of one board member. Then covid started at the worst possible time for eskn in its recovery phase.

Now for the future - management appear to be trying and capable , debt a major issue, time an issue ie the business has to pay wages, interest on dept at the same as developing a robust business before time / cash runs out. The airport can make money in the future, passengers numbers slowly increasing as well ancillary income as announced today. Will eskn make it? I hope so but time is against it. Good luck eskn management - lots of long term share holders (me included) hope so.

Well done Broad with his final ball in cricket. Well done Nottingham. Now for a double with Nottm Uni and scancell.

2-2 and Aus win / retain the Ashes.

My experience has always been positive at Halfords stores, good customer service, speedy action and reasonable value.

I think problem solving in large companies is often difficult as no one has complete control as in a small co where a manager is on hand to say yes or no - quickly. I hope HFD do well, the takeover of National Tyres will take a while to dovetail into the co but will prove to be a good buy in the ling term. NT was getting - how do you say tired of a tyre company - but it was. My local is always busy but not the best value

My thought - for what it is worth- is that todays rise is the Trev Brown effect! Braveheart up massive and so peeps may think IGAI is his next multi bagger. As long term holders hope. ( me included!) I would rather hope it is something more fundamental, but we will see. Fingers crossed for something positive / business related.

hello mandy bandy, made me giggle behind the totally non pc letter! you will have to resign when the boss lady reads it.
No doubt you are prepare for your spanking when she finds out who wrote it. Take care - lets hope OFCOM do follow up on your advice and allow BT to develop their systems and structures for the UK and global good. We want the UK to succeed not wither and die, as it appears lots do.

First easyjet flight of the year today from Southend. - I understand. Well its a start , it might help to pay the interest on the loan!

Just time to wish everyone a happy and healthy 2023.
We all knew SCLP would be a roller coaster of a share a long time ago. We like the science, well the small percentage I understand anyway. We like the potential and love the prof, her foresight and vision, her steady team building and the move to Oxford. 2022 has been good. We all hope 23 will save many lives and give many families hope. If it puts a few quid in the bank that would be a real bonus. Look after yourselves and your families.
ps I assume the markets will close at 12-30 tomorrow so should we predict an RNS for 12-31 - why not 7-0 am??? Have fun everyone and no falling out in 23.

a niche market company making very good progress. not going to be in the ftse 100 but a steady, well run company with progressive management - good luck to the team. good progress from the old toad, retro fitting radios in cars. most people are not old enough to remember that type of business. digital display updates of live info - not sexy but used by us all daily. good luck to lth's. I hold a very few shares never been worth selling and not good enough to buy more until last week. now no funds to buy more - never mind. seasons greetings

reviewing a yield curve control policy - means what, to someone who thought he knew a bit about banks, banking and investing. Well guess what - wouldn't even pass my eleven plus in banking!
Does it mean the dividend will / may increase?

you would have to chuckle if verizon comms came in with a cheeky low ball offer and walked away with the spoils! People talking about vod only being a utility - i have news , that is all it is until they develop another platform offering entertainment. A rival to M and H - Prince A arguing with his butler about who should pick up the corgi poop. take care and don't buy too many vod shares until the new year, santa rally will be a little late this year.

isn,t it - a bloke went into the bank with a £10 note up his bottom - he was £10 in arears.

hi thanglan, re. paltry 1p - my thoughts, for what they are worth, are - count your chickens - pun intended. if the divi had been higher the company would have been berated and calls would have been made for higher windfall taxes. Share buy backs and a lower divi, I feel, are the correct way to go in this economic climate. I am not a fan of buy backs, but this time I do think it is the correct way to go. So fingers crossed for a 2p final divi and an increase in share price leading up to it. The company should be ok - a year ago I was doom and gloom about centrica - now I am 'glass half full' or perhaps better!

Hello botski - if you are by the biscuits you will probably see crumbs!! Unless the cleaner (world) gets there first.
I am due to grow up next year - perhaps.

Caledonian looks posh! Kassam / Oxford United ground is still being used as covid jabbing centre. It is only a stone’s throw from Scancell research Oxford labs and offices. Perhaps it will return in the future? Although the Caledonian is closer to the uk investment hub, so the boys in suites can attend - maybe that is where they go for lunch anyway! Please ask relevant Q’s, and if you have time post any helpful points raised. Would also be interested in numbers attending, ‘mood’ of the board and those attending- if it can be gauged. Not asking for much!! Take care and thanks

I will look up the results and follow up with more research. I note this is one you follow / invest in and seem happy to do so.
