This is the most tenuous link ever but I only have around 7 weeks to organise that trip to Annfield, the home of Liverpool FC much loved by the CE here. Julian is a sort of posh name for a lad though is it not & was he not in the Famous 5. It's like Lindsey - as in Buckingham. I am glad the music shops have survived too in one form or another. I bought at 82 point something pence in late Apr 2010 with some of my proceeds from rbs at .5875p pre-consolidation. The share had been tipped heavily by a renowned or notorious - depending on your viewpoint - former rbs poster rblackie who was asked for his tip for 2010 on the rbs bb and he had one or two sheep lol. I chased it all the way down selling some along the way when it had 50% plus rises in 24 hours and other double digit percentage rises on several days. One Friday in Jan 2011 with an average standing at around 4.5 ish pence, I came home from a cookery class to find it up over 200% in the space of two & a half hours & my sister and hubby had apparently been trying to phone me incessantly about that for a couple of hours. I sold most in the 7s I think but forgot about a few in certificated form which I sold on the Monday. Bought back in at some point later that month & it did have its moments after that for trading but, in Dec 2012, I was intent on selling before the interims as they were usually bad (covering the summer months' trading) & buying back in only if the Christmas trading had gone well. I noticed a group of folk arriving on the lse and advfn bbs just before the interims trying to pump up the share & it spiked just at the time when I had been planning to sell anyway. The interims were dire and the covenant breaching likelihood really meant they only had a 50/50 chance or even less as you say. The previous months' rnses had been rather economical with the truth & the only hope was a strong Christmas. Some iis had sold on the quiet so regulations mean nothing. I quickly redeemed my pure points but the vouchers for 20 singles downloads failed to arrive but I did get my Annfield stadium tour & lunch for two voucher & an Arsenal stadium tour voucher by mistake so I'll need to see if both can be validated though it would be a lot of hassle for me to get to London but will go to Liverpool at some point during the school holidays in Oct & see John Lennon's boyhood home if the NTS property is still open at that time of the year.
I did a spot of shopping today too. The hmv in Silverburn - probably on the exact sight of my old school - is still vacant but Spots Direct next door is stocked to the gunnels in the way that jjb there never was & despite competition from jd sports is busy. White and milk choc now flowing for the fountains in tht. Hey but we put up a good fight http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hqdZ4AWSaI
