Chris Heminway, Exec-Chair at Time To ACT, explains why now is the right time for the Group to IPO. Watch the video here.
Hoho GP. Coming to "pointless" simultaneously, how Ooo Err Missus is that?
Xxxx your pointless stupid "polls".
Saxma, did you follow my guess? You are wibbling much on mimi: I fear you did not.
Folks, remember, they go up, they go down. Where you buy & sell is up to you.

Accip, although I agree with bigpu in this commercial context, MY gran used to say exactly the same; was it on the syllabus at Granma School?
She left school at 12, while the thick kids who couldn't pass an English and maths test stayed to 13. Her job was at a main rail terminus, which in 1914 gave experience of troop movements, before and after. What a generation! 2 world wars, 1 world cup, votes for women, general strike, means test, atomic weapons. We really don't have it so bad; you can get four pints for hourly minimum pay, or, apparently, free coffee.
Yes thang, divi is the weak spot. I expect there will be some presently, given Tim's holdings. Agree bigpu, adding staff time to the coffee production cost would be out of proportion, and keep them from more profitable activity.
CT5, just have to differ then. On Heid, I maintain s/he has a record of posting which would lead anyone to a correct conclusion, no uncouth or sexist terms required. On the bought-back shares, if they are useful collateral, how much more useful would the purchase cash have been? I would only support buy-backs for cancellation, and then only if funds not needed for development or dividends.
(Maybe useful simply to regard share reduction by buy-backs as the opposite of placings: less cash in company for concentrated shares.) Gla, yes really all assuming s/he holds.
Heid&JOkin, these need to be sold not held, and anymore buy-backs we can afford.
CT5&JOkin, buy-backs to resell dearer, what would that do to the sp of the company: I do not recommend?
Pboo, imo he should, & cancel.
Karin, that was a rude and nasty denunciation of Heid. All her posts are visible, we know how bad she has been for years; this is not needed.
As to 50p, we did, I sliced; not much though. Dugghhh
You will see £1, just can't say when. Foolish to forecast in detail, "hostage to fortune". We know assets, prospects, income & cash in bank. Sure, future is unknown but we are exceptionally well-placed to deal with it.
Just, please, no more dumb forecasts, or polls?
Disagree, no probs..
CT5, you invoke polymers, which in the long run wash into oceans, unless we start being a bit smarter. If food trays and single use cutlery can be made again from wood pulp (which sequesters), what not?
Setting aside jet engine, the 2 major inventions of 20C were polymers and nuclear weapons. Which of those will be first to end life on our dear old, queer old, planet? Imo, not E=MC².
Exactly, Gwyn.
Sheer hypocrisy to stop producing your own (environmentally and ethically clean) petroleum, then import from Russia, Nigeria, Venezuela. Sorry Eire, know you're clean too.
And another case for our gas to grid not atmosphere.
No Mrs W, just plain dumb for a country which continues to consume oil & gas.
Sure, I was commenting on shorting. I still see huge rise ahead, when rises grow shorters can't keep up without great cost, they exit.
These market distortions are illegal in some jurisdictions. Hey?
CT5, I never suspected the Treasury shares, but there are millions of others out there.
Heid, maybe JOkin could give a better reply than mine, I thought they were preparing ground for Heyco, maybe not now.
As to the crazy low price, some of us have benefited from the fluctuations: if you have not, that was your decision.
Cheer up Micky, we're in pocket, depending on when you bought.
Seriously, a developer was doing an industrial estate near me, there were no threatened newts, they promised to introduce some as part of deal. They say "You couldn't make it up", really you can't.
Granty, what was the hazard against which the treasury shares insured, iyo?
Sterr & accip, this abuse could be cured if staff cleared tables sooner. You often go in to find used glasses, half-eaten plates of food (why do they order so much, smaller dishes available?) and, yes, beverage mugs that could be re-used fraudulently. Some of this is idle staff, more is bad management; but for profit reasons the staffing can be very thin, as the margins are thin. It's a fine line, what makes more profit, stopping beverage fiddles or a lean wage bill?
However, customers who might leave a chunk of cash behind would be attracted by clear clean tables and rapid bar service. A recent experience was of 3 bodies behind the bar only 1 of which served live customers, the others doing online orders stocktaking and clerical functions. Trade was light but it only took a complex food order to cause a big delay. Only customers with possession of their order are actually making us profit, until then they just use space for no return.
Sterr, a token system would require staff time. I think the reason for refills at all is that serve-yourself is cheaper than employing to serve.
