Member Info for PJT12

A non related question and CPI aside, coming from an older guy who bought an Amstrad 1512 in the 80s and stayed at pace with the internet and social media as part of his job. However, is it just me or do we now spend more time than we ever imagined we would through either waiting in queues, dealing with incompetent or un-interested, shoulder-sloping frontline staff or being fed lip-service based around insincere box-ticking exercises which their managers have fed them - Not to mention reading emails that most people wouldn't even be bothered to write if they had to put pen to paper. Seriously, it was less time consuming when we relied on phones or a pair of shoes! AND, call me old fashioned but it was better back then!!

"...we’re not growing and not generating cash."

Yes, I can really see any Senior managers writing something like that in an email :))) Idiot, but I guess we shouldn't knock you for trying.

No win, No fee.

Yes, I am aware of it but the following is worth bearing in mind for any individuals inclined towards panic. I am also reassured by the new leadership that have taken Capita's helm since that incident:

What are the average data breach compensation example amounts based on the Data Protection Act?

Breach of a person's name, date of birth, home address, and email address £1,000-£1,500

As for where Capita is heading, in the words of Broomtree, "The tide has been turning for a while now and I expect more of the same: slow and gradual (outside of contract news)"

Beware those on here who try to set false deadlines or milestones in the absence of news in order to drive the price down. No news is better than bad news whilst the ship remains on course.

The problem with this country in my opinion is that we are stuck for choice between one party that treats our national finances as a money tree for shareholders, including the utility companies and usually at the expense of public services and the poorer in our society - and a second party where the shareholders are substituted by the unions and the naive ideology of the loony left. All I want is a party that is fair, honest, empathetic, wise and firm. I suspect that would require a big change to our present democratic system.

......"hospital site rental".

I would say one of the most important things we need to do is build trust still further with the powers that be in government and the civil service. I work in the NHS - low level - but I keep my ear to the ground. Contractors have been allowed - and continue - to rip the NHS off for far too long. Procurement and site hospital rental need to be looked into very seriously.

Starmer will make a speech tomorrow reimagining the NHS over the next 10 years, a large part of which will be switching analogue to digital.

What relevance does any of this really have to Capita, other than to enable the serial idiot to drag us down across these boards? Seriously, block rather than engaging with him. That is, of course, unless any of his supposed protagonists are doing so through being in league with him?

Trisor, agree with all of your comments - apart from the use of one outdated phrase ;-)

"In investing, what is comfortable is rarely profitable." — Robert Arnott

@daltry - That's kind of ironic nowadays when the entire British army could fit into the Bernabau Stadium with around 12000 seats remaining empty.

You're dealing with lawyers - and they're dealing with each other! The RNS will come when it comes and doesn't merit speculation ahead of that completion.

"@james Oxford sorry but you just sound like an obnoxious individual". Okey, gonna stick my neck out here when I suggest that you like to take your time, a v-e-r-y long time when it comes to character realisation.

"Simpiles, why reply just Green Box? "

Agree totally and have undertaken the latter policy for over a fortnight. The one thing I would say judging by my number of green box filters and references to O I have seen, there's no way this guy was a banker for 30 years. The mentality is merely that of a pathetic trader rather than a retiree.

SuccesstotheBrave, I agree and am actually in favour of less portfolio diversification than is generally advised - largely because I feel we are better off through being able to focus to a greater extent on just several, carefully selected companies, rather than umpteen of them. You can also cash-in more quickly if needed.

"@AimMaster 2018 you called it right from early on"...........and it only took 67 attempts :-) Law of averages and all that......

Can't help but feel the DWP would really benefit from AI efficiencies on a number of fronts, especially on the call centre front.

Not sure is this is in context but..............
