Food shortages possible if no deal Brexit - don't like the sound of that Dougie. Mike Ashley saying last night on the news that you don't see Primark, TKs etc. pulling out of the High Street at least I think that's what he was saying. Could he not afford elocution lessons.

Sweet. That's what I call a takeover offer! Dipyourbreadin I hope you were still a holder here fella.

Maybe even a 5p bid coming from Mike Ashley if he can still afford it. I think poor Woody has lost the plot, remember him selling Rolls Royce before it went back up.

Personally, I am hoping for nothing for the remaining bod of Debenhams other than their P45s. Whatever you say about Mike Ashley, he is a self-made billionaire with Flannels and spd among the few bricks and mortar retailers trading on the island I live in.. In Duddy, and Adams Debenhams seem to have in place a bunch of serial failures. As for the Chief Financial Officer not even sure if she has an accountancy qualification.

needs to get deported. I've applied to Spaniards for a credit card and looking into store cards and the Debenhams ones have been sliced in two. That said I'm sitting in Sainsbury café reading the Daily Record (about all I can manage at the moment) couple of weeks ago and their top guy is talking about the House of Failure, data grabs, unfulfilled orders and holding onto folks' money for 14 days. Give me a reason not to become a John Lewis shopper please. I know I've seen it a High Street with a spd, Flannels and M& S and not much else. Can I sue Homebargains for sheets that have dyed my towels a different colour and bobbled at the first wash.

He and Mr. Odey, Robin Hood and Friar Tuck.

commentary? Well not really. Every accountancy degree course in the country have been doing a case study in a company since the start of the session back in the autumn. Hands up if you can guess which company. Sorry for the off topic but every so obliquely relevant to all investing and trading. Good luck here spotty.

Can be recouped by either (i) keeping granny out a care home for another couple of weeks and throwing her a few dog bones to chew on at home or (ii) patronising another few grease monkeys and the like or (iii) resisting a short stay in Corsica as I am not really into Napoleon anyway. Which to choose? Where the heck to the fake people on these bbs come from for the sure aint for real.

You just can't buy this sort of story https://www.theguardian.com/money/2019/jan/27/stephen-rubin-owner-of-jd-sports-coates-ashley-dyson-paid-most-tax-last-year-with-181m-bill

Yeah I like that Chartist2 nice easy to understand target: £16 fairly soon. Precise and with an estimated time of arrival. No problems with that.

"Metro insisted its growth plans remained on track, with Donaldson saying the market “should not assume” that the bank would be seeking extra capital. Its total capital ratio fell from 19.1% to 15.8% after the loans reclassification, but Metro said it remained comfortably above the 12.6% regulatory minimum." etc https://www.theguardian.com/business/2019/jan/23/metro-bank-shares-crash-after-loans-blunder-revealed

Why because a load of tosh gets printed but when you get the quotes from the chief executive there tends to be a bit more substance to the article rather than the laugh on the floor stuff along the lines of sources close to the company said....

Remember tsb still in turmoil and putting off clients and Santander closing braches all the time. Metro's products look quite good across the board.

Very satisfying to watch this ascent. Did I see buying by the chief exec the other day so confidence in the future then. Good luck all.

Coming back strongly today. It looks as though the ESMA stuff was already known about and factored in but going forward :- IG Europe (IGE), the Group's client facing subsidiary in Germany, is expected to launch by the end of January 2019

- Spectrum, the Group's multilateral trading facility (MTF), is expected to launch in May 2019

- IG US, the Group's USA subsidiary operating as a retail FX dealer, is expected to launch by the end of January 2019

And as you say ex divi date approaching for those holding as opposed to those wishing to trade. A win win situation maybe.

Company issued a rns giving advance notice of results but not hinting anything about the content. Certainly was a morning share today so some relief but not an afternoon share from what I can see which is the opposite of previous patterns according to some of you. Holdings rns today indicate some are optimistic and I think I read they are paying down some debt but best for me to come back another time as haven't a Scooby what the results might bring. Good luck.

Hi good luck with your plans. I think I know your handle from another bb but cannot remember which one. I have traded this long twice over the past two months and just bit the bullet and sold a tranche today. On another day, with less to do, I would have probably held. Good luck.

but expected more post gkn. to

HOF "Sales at the department store have tumbled by 60pc over the 12 weeks to 18 December, according to figures by Kantar Worldpanel, seen by The Telegraph." https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2019/01/20/house-fraser-dealt-blow-sales-crash-run-up-christmas/

I can just about understand but limited food and drinks menu based on country of origin makes no sense to me. Sorry. I am all about the flavour.
