With the sector being so big in China, I'd be interested to know what kind of budget will be made available for any product release over there. Clearly, Fruitflow containing products have been pretty niche so far, but I'm keen to see what happens in China before I write the product off. Hence, retaining a few remaining shares and biding my time before I reinvest.

Advertising the products of others is no business of the PXS BOD, in the same way that a hop grower would not be expected to promote the beer I'm enjoying. Marketing would be a little easier if the product had a more appealing name, who came up with Fruitflow?

I agree! Although, they've only ever had one product marketable to the general public, and that's only been around a few months.

Firstly, your negative opinion does not differ from mine. I sold at a profit a while back. Secondly, who are you trying to kid? Your passive aggression towards Kievski and Alfista, and explaining it's because somebody upset you on another board is clearly Trolling lol

How would you have managed the product differently?

So there we have it! Someone on one board upsets the delicate little souls on another board, so they throw their teddies out and troll the former on his board. Although entertaining, the childishness is quite cringing lol

I tend to agree, but try to restrict it to people of a similar disposition (not everyone's cuppa). IMO it's likely to be a while till there's any significant news from China, without adequate advertising I don't see any European/UK products being anything but niche, so I guess PXS wait for news on memory trial results. My concern would be that positive memory loss news is unlikely to result in a substantial increase in SP, but negative news would likely hit it significantly (good buying opportunity I guess). I'm also waiting till after the next fund raising which may provide a better buy-in price. Quite happy to retain the small holding I have left, as there's always the possibility of 'transformational' news at any time haha!

Like I stated previously, it's not your stories I struggle to comprehend (all perfectly feasible), it's your desire to keep trotting them out to people you don't know. Besides, there's no need to get yourself in a lather, you openly state you're here to wind people up lol

Cool story bro! Although I much prefer the carpet bagging and £700K portfolio...not heard that one for a while lol

Yep!, it's great and so it should be. Didn't get anywhere near the market cap they wanted and referendum had far too great an impact IMO. I'm confused when I hear sites are being mothballed when there are also reports of a brick shortage. Is this down to the type of brick that's required not being manufactured in the closed/closing sites?

Thanks for the info. Will be keeping an eye on builders interims this week to gauge the impact of the recent referendum.

'Brexit has rocked the country’s brick makers. Ibstock and Forterra, which between them account for the majority of Britain’s brick output, have seen their shares tank 36 per cent and 39 per cent respectively, since the vote. For Ibstock, the Brexit ballot capped a whirlwind 18 months. Bain Capital bought it from CRH in February 2015. Eight months later, the private equity giant flipped it, listing it on the stock exchange at 190p. It closed Friday at 126.5p. I can’t shake the feeling that the housing market is for a harder landing than the experts expect. Catching a falling knife is dangerous. But so is a falling brick. Sell.' This Is Money

Thanks megg, I'm sure the demand is there as houses are needed more than ever. Been a rough few weeks for those that invested early doors, but I'm sure the market will pick up once the UK gets someone in place that can show leadership and direction. Hopefully, the cuts will be minimal and the impact on workforce not too harsh.

Does anyone have any detail relating to the previous mothballing of Forterra plants? How long were each mothballed for, were redundancies involved, retainment of skilled labour etc.?

Any special divi this year? Read recent RNS's but didn't see a mention, been a long day tho

I agree, the advertising is very visible. When I speak to the the youngsters round the pub, they view this style of marketing in the same way as I would have picked up a printed takeaway menu. Looks like the future to me! Been watching for a while now and keen to buy in long term, but waiting for a bit of stability in the wider market.

market appears to be happy with the annual results presented to the city this morning. the almost certain loss of the final salary pension may also have increased confidence. Hopefully, we have left the 1400's behind us now.

major restructuring and streamlining over recent years. will this be reflected positively at the end of next month with the yearly figures. Across the board 3% pay rise makes me optimistic that they are in a good position. Hopefully break through the 1500 and move on.
