They don't call him "Nails" for nothing Looks like he has gone through the head office like "a dose of salts" Oops! Sorry about the mixed metaphor.

Costa, How do you know there is news next week. Have I missed an announcement somewhere?

Sorry for my ignorance but, who is Jefferies and why should I take any notice?

Lets hope the markets have already factored in the change. Will the SP receive support at 168p.? We can only hope for better news on 4th.June.

There are a large number of FTSE "tracker" funds To track the FTSE these funds must hold a representative spread of FTSE stock If MRW drops out of the FTSE the tracker funds will sell off their MRW holdings Looking at the price drop last week, this might have started already. Looks like MRW will take some time to come good again Let's see what is said on 4th.June

Just used my local Morrison's. 10 item checkout operated by a human being already introduced Much better! Lets hope others find better service is what they want!

Thanks Mike, We await with trepidations todays SP

Read Q1 report. What are SKU's and LFL items?

Wow! 10 million buy at the end of the day Classed as ordinary too.

Jack, Thanks for the historical chart on the FTSE. The worrying time will be May 7th. UK general election result with no clear mandate for any one party. Followed by May 12th. Greek debt possible default. A lot depends on how quickly a stable UK government can be put together. I suspect we may be faced with a minority government. The markets don't like uncertainty. Expect a fall!

From the published document:- The Court Meeting and the General Meeting are being convened for 13 February 2015 ( FRIDAY 13th!

Succesfully voted Against at Barclays. Have I clocked this correctly? The critical date is Friday 13th. February! I wonder who chose that date?

How did you manage to vote inside your Barclays ISA? I have e-mailed them but still received no response

Thanks Del44 An excellent summary I hope the surprise arrives for Christmas

Mostly Buys again this morning. Hope I have not operated my usual profit of doom trigger!

Thanks Del44 for the clarification I had not realized that any CGH dividend would not be paid until next year I agree we will be lucky if 0.16 is achieved The annual report should clarify the value of our CGH holding This was the main basis for the IC recommendation

Does anyone know the date when results will be published?

Thanks for the excellent clarification Del44 How does the £649 million translate into share price of FTO?

Back in January FTO was 55% of the “true value” of its holding in CGH Through March, April and May the “true value” ratio increased to 60% Through June the price of FTO has fallen despite a significant rise in the price of CGH The ratio has dropped back to 50% What will July bring?

From the iii board, the multiplier is 1.64 This means that the equivalent value of FTO for our CGH holding is 1.64 x 14.84 = 24p
