Correction:-
having it's effect. I expect a lot more. Recently HFD have nudged £1.90p.
All IMHO.

Actuall this Govenment scheme is quite generous if you think about it. The cheapest new Halfords mens bikes are £130. So £50 towards repairing an old one can't ne bad!! Thank you Mr Shapps!!!!

Anyone know how this works? I have an old bike that could do with some repairs!!

aoounced by Grant Shapps last Friday. I wonder how this works?
This will no doubt benefit halfords if they can keep up with demand!
All IMHO.

Then click on "bikes in stock". Says just 23. They did have over 300!
Clearly major supply problems.
All IMHO.

How many to open on 1st June.
I assume most if not all as stores are very big with lots of room!
2m spacing relatively easy one would think.
ONLY A WEEK TO GO !!!!

I think I'm going to hold these through results as Gold price "through the roof".
All IMHO.

Correction. Will be about NINE weeks of lockdown (started 23rd March:-
"44% potential upside" says Barclays Capital reading the article dated yesterday, which can be found googling:-
barclays-capital/412823604
I believe the mistake the market is making is although the stores are closed until 1st June, so it will have been about 9 weeks, approximately 85% of the running costs would have been wages. BUT the UK Government are paying these. So PcWorld would be keeping as many working as possible by re-deploying to help the web service side which had more than doubled (RNS said 125% more), so yes, more than doubled. Thus you have everyone who is working busy. If you get busyer you un-furlow some. Get less busy you re-furlow some. Very efficient if you play your cards right.
The WEB site must be screaming busy with laptop orders and mobile phone orders driven by the lockdown.
When they open IN TEN DAYS TIME it will be even busier with those PLUS the computer repair side will be swamped.
All IMHO.

I believe the mistake the market is making is although the stores are closed until 1st June, so it will have been about 6 weeks, approximately 85% of the running costs would have been wages.

Don't know the figures yet but it's not going down well (LOL! down/well puns?).

will be in place for 1st June. Mobile app should be around same time IMHO.
PcWorld I expect will be opening up.
Mobile phones for app............ laptops for working from home............ computer repairs.
Remember the Government has paid the store staffs wages this last 5 weeks. Wages cost to PcWorld = NOTHING.

Clearly there are supply issues here!
They had over 300 types 6 weeks ago in stock !!!!!!
All IMHO.

See here, then click on left "bikes in stock".
https://www.halfords.com/bikes/
Shows just 51.... They had 394 about 6 weeks ago. I am astonoshed frankly. On the one hand you could argue they have sold a load, on the other they can't get stock in. With just 51 I think the latter is true.
If it's not in stock they can't sell it!!!
All IMHO.

for social distancing so PCWorld are at an advantage there. Plus:-
1. Government app when announced will make smart phone sales increased massively IMHO. I imagine Mum's/Dad's getting their teenage kids smart phones earlier than othewise the case for safety reasons.
2. Working from home. You need a laptop (or even tower) computer. You also need a phone or you will be using your own land line. Setting this up.......... PCWorld offer this service I believe.
3. Computer repair. How many computers out there are not working and need fixing after this six week lockdown???
I conclude they are going to be extremely busy to say the least.
During the lockdown the WEB site has been open and well advertised.
The costs of store staff wages has neen NOTHING as Government have paid.
A truly strong buy at these levels IMHO.
All IMHO.

RESULTS SHOULD BE NEXT WEEK.

Correction. 6 weeks ago!!
