The BoD dont instil much confidence eitherwith their feeble holdings!

Yes the niggle of being duped is always with me but at least we are in good company !

I dont often cut and run, because I always believe a SP can recover when a situation changes , as quick as it dived in the first place .....but boy o boy I am thinking of bailing here....its just goes against the grain to do so.

I wonder who has either increased their stake with recent share aquisitions or indeed consolidated their present position.

Well any takeover would, you think cover the BoD averages which look above 25 - it does not always happen that way but its something to consider. I think I will top up Monday oh but what to sell to get the cash!

KWB1 - actually I wasnt pulling you up on the spelling! I was confirming that my thoughts were the same re a TO!

AH right so that didnt work either then - guess I will unpack the shorts and blister cream and think of some other plan of action.

KWB1 - surely it is a TO thats on the cards...

Looks like I am going to have to get on a plane with my shovel and give them a hand to dig.

BUYS now coming through behind that large purchase

geed - are you still a holder. There must be good news here with these large buys. You dont throw that money around unless you think you are on to a good thing

£282K BUY not £285k - apologies - we will find out shortly who is stake building as this breachs the 3% barrier.

Any views on this !

£285K BUY equates to 4% of the Company....I think!

Any news from yesterdays General Meeting?. Seems strange such a big buy the day after it.

£282k BUY. Aw come on! Something must be going on here
