Ironknut -"Visited a Distillery in Scotland, yesterday......"

That shareholder/customer relationship - I'm a LTH of Shell and BP, but fill-up my 12mpg guzzler at Tesco and Sainsbury. However, I do have a small holding of Tesco shares, but virtually never buy groceries there, favouring Aldi, Lidl and Waitrose simply because it's the closest food store to my abode. I've quit drinking now, but previously I never chose Diageo brands. I could go on, but essentially this is a pattern that runs through my portfolio. I like to see others contributing to profits more than I do ;) Interestingly, years ago I held shares in Grand Metropolitan, the forerunner of Diageo, and back then they used to send shareholder benefit vouchers on a regular basis which could be used in their range of restaurants and 'offies'. Very useful for 20 year old.

Anyway, in the context of this thread, I've also topped-up here today.

Turtlehead -"Is it just me or does the interviewer look like Rowan Atkinson's long lost son?"

To me, he looks disconcertingly like Alistair McGowan doing an impression of Rowan Atkinson. Now, what was LB saying?... ;)))

Nice move guys - I was a bit previous...as usual...;-)))

OSG - "It's falling because it missed guidance but what with impairment charges and one offs for gas and wind how much of it was intentional?"

That's my point! Oilers (in UK/EU at least) dare not say anything upbeat, they have to massage all the good news away and temper it with write-downs and impairments. Being in a position to use 40% of profits to give us all a bigger slice for the future is pragmatism as far as I'm concerned. But I'm talking my book - I topped-up a little this morning....;-))))

There's a lot of politics written into results ever since the Looney 'cash machine' blunder. It will be the norm until sentiment understands and accepts that hydrocarbons provide the route to net zero.

Oh well, back on snooze....

Status Quo came to my mind - Down Down (deeper and down)...

In - and may well top-up.

I'm very happy with how Sawan is approaching his role, and actually implementing his philosophy. Having commenced my personal investment in Shell at around £18 (can't remember which year), it will take some faith to top-up at £27+, but I have to say, I'm tempted...

Your warnings are indeed dire-ria20..

111baker - Your last sentence is really what this stock is all about. It's quite a USP. And to get round potential monopoly concerns at such an early stage... ;)

Sunbeams : 'Ex Dividend for the TW holders on 12th October - Time to buy ?'

I'm up for a little top-up!

Couldn't resist a (small) top-up. Be rude not to...

Drill depth of 7m doesn't sound right after more than 24hrs of operation.

Thanks for the summary. Market seems to be saying 'boring' too! ;)

Weren't we supposed to be receiving a divi and ROC last week? II have only showed the ROC so far.

Rick123 - 'Interested to know why this particular teacup did not work? Q - the excuses

Go…'

My theory is that it only works for mugs..

Happy as a car without a roof - that makes perfect sense ;)

No bad thing.
