5p…how on earth is it going to rise to 5p ?

Watch the whole interview in the Q&A from the invited guests before jumping to conclusions, you might then be able to make a judgment, just looking at ‘soundbites’ and clips that the biased news reports show do not give a honest representative of the whole meeting,

You can have mine at £10/share, paper cert in hand

Not untypical sadly, I meet up with serving Openreach engineers on a regular basis (I am a retired ops manager) and they tell me of a “game” doing the rounds where the winner is the one who goes the longest not opening the rear doors of his/her van, also who travels the farthest from home/parking location to their first job of the day….clearly the work allocation systems are failing biblically!!!

Me too, postie did a double take when he saw th stamps on it!

Closing of plant at Port Talbot, bad for Wales, Good for Evraz…discuss?

?

Will a Labour Government lift sanctions - Discuss

Agree 100%, I too was a manager (albeit an 802 one) and had to deal with many a 801/802 engineers who thought is was their god given right to avoid work, they cited lack of training/not within my payband/stress/bad back etc. When I tried to exit them HR intervened and told me to put them on a COACHING PLAN, which inevitably failed, they then either went off sick (on full pay) or went down the victimisation route.

When I was promoted I remember an old school T3 advising me to manage as if it was MY company, however I was never allowed too….

Hey ho rant over

P.S. I retired with 43 years under my belt and I owe EVERYTHING I have to the GPO/Post Office Telephones/BT & Openreach

I have a paper certificate for 4000+ shares, is it landfill?

If these drop to 60p I will sell my house to top up, with the dividends I could book into Claridges long term….

Got my invite to the AGM, anyone going?

Stagnant again after a promising few days rise, any ideas chaps as to why?

On what basis do you think so?

Downward slide again, why oh why can't BT maintain the upward trajectory?

I’d sell my 30,000 holding at 250p, however I feel it will be a long wait !

ILM’s have been fitted to BT openreach vans for YEARS, I know this as I was one of the managers that rolled out the training program before I retired in 2015.

ILM = Internet Location Monitoring

Thanks for putting my mind at rest, hopefully it MAY be worth something in the near future?

Having a PAPER cert myself and seeing my computershare account now showing nothing, what should I
do ????

Yes we were the last of the few methinks, when I retired in 2015 there were many ex-military being bought in to run teams, no external or internal experience, no management skills and just as you say “data analysing” was their job description, as we both know any and all targets are manageable with the right key stokes. I remember being told of managers, whilst authorising timesheets, using the Transaction MTSW to the full, hey ho happy days eh?
As an aside I was the last of less than 1000 option A pension crew, that ages me somewhat.
Hope you enjoy your retirement as much as I am mine, keep active in mind and body for a long life, my aim is to draw my pension longer that I drew my wages….
