Go on Danman Sachs , results are due, your almost wetting yourself, you can live off this for weeks now, until something thats not in the statement throws you a curved ball and you'll sh#t yourself and disappear, ring any bells. Set your alarm for 5 fella, make sure prepared, get the calculator out, pour over the words and figures , write up a massive retrospective report for this board telling them how you nailed this , then oops fleagate , USA gate not on the statement and default to the hills, i love it when we get close to results, cracks me up, i've lost track now, are you in or out, didnt you buy then sell then bought in today on the £3.26 dip, your smashing it out of the park Danman, lol lol.

I see Daniel "retrospective" Sachs is starting to post regular again, must be some sort of statement coming out, safe ground for the accountant, ha hah ha.

Streets , i agree re the low level but its not just one BAA making the allegations, it's led to many buyers / suppliers coming out and making comments about expensive handbags and holidays, this def went on in the 80's and 90's, brown paper bags etc people were outed and prosecuted as you say quite rightly legislation bought in. I would not be surprised if some of the old skool Manchester suppliers still operate in this way. We used to buy wine for London buyers at Christmas but had to stop as it was deemed thin end of the wedge , even taking them out to a cutting edge London hard to book restaurant is frowned upon. I can just see a young naive Manchester buyer accepting a Gucci handbag as present, issue is if that there is any truth at all BH gets Covid rather than a Cold.

Just a heads up on something that's starting to gain a bit of traction and at the expense of opening up a can of worms on here i thought i'd just make you aware of a brewing situation of allegations on Instagram account, Life of a BAA (buyers admin assistant) also one called Life of a Supplier, both actually quite entertaining reads of what goes on, most of it the practices that are being alleged against BH and PYT involve "presents" to buyers for orders, this is very old skool and tbh i'm surprised it still goes on but within the Manchester Rag Trade community perhaps not, also allegations on their aimed at a senior manager whom i know extremely well @ Asos of sexual harassment, all i'm sure will blow over but unless you are bleached clean these days then expect anyone with a grievance to out you.

Pmoran, also think that she has gone from Glamour Girl to MILF, rather than dating local idiots she's grown up a bit and is now appealing to blokes from across the UK, some of whom are quite discerning and are unaware of a her previous background as i bit of a errrrrrr, well you know.

Expect headwinds on margins for BH and PLT, less pressure on London Brands, i think it will still be too early for the recent acquisitions to feature much but buying for these Brands continues a pace and new inventory is in bound with Turkish production hitting down shortly, longer lead due to hit end May. in the coming weeks you will start to see the new offers fill up across the websites, then we start to get into the hard earned yards of Summer and AW, i expect good things, as always tho Snakes and Ladders.

Sure they will and people from other partys will come across , despite what everyone thinks on here majority of yhe country dont associate Debs and BH as same company, our and your obsession with BH is not replicated elsewhere.

Pedro, actually this Party is new, it will disrupt the Next party going on over the Road , i have it on good authority that DJ in the house Simon Wolfson is concerned. Truth is Party is big enough for all, so many have shut down in last year that competition is smaller than it was.

For everyone's info the current Debs offer is just a re jig of old site, if it was a party and 500 guests were invited the current site is the equivalent of moving furniture around and old guests from previous party still being there plus a few early arrivals, in all about 10 guests!!! Most if not all of the Debs stock is inherited, we are not even close to seeing the impact yet of new buys, yes some existing BH Brands have come across with new stock but Burtons, DP's and all Debs Brands are yet to be seen in there new glory. So at this party the canapes, champagne, vodka luge, entertainers, DJ and special guests are yet to arrive, in fact they are either just coming out of oven or fridge or putting their make up on, associate each appropriately if you will. As always Q3 , Q4 , till then move on , nothing to see here, famous last words!!! lol.

This link should open, basically says great job in Leics and they deserve a big pat on back, one thing i hope is that they are being as vigilant overseas as they are in their own back yard, it's a whole new ball game keeping an eye on people 1000's of miles away, i have no doubt they are really striving to do this but it's no easy task.

Mr Neutral , 10000% agreee, very hard to call this time round so mamy variables.

One point i'd like to make on this is that the Fashion Industry is London centric, BH Group have only managed to get the calibre of people they have by keeping these Brands in London, Philip Green allegedly went purple when his best buyers and heads of kept leaving to go to Asos he is said to have even rang up Nick Robertson and screamed down the phone at him to stop. Anyway point is they have a major competitor with some extremely experienced talent just down the Road in GLC on Mornington Crescent, BH have deep pockets and the lure of a nice s****y office (Asos by no means shabby btw !!!) in the heart of a vibrant Soho with all it's Indie, Shops, Bars and Restaurants (which the rag trade loves!!!) it will be quite a pull for anyone who gets a phone call, they could do worse than to also drag the Cheshire set down to the smoke as well, thinking about it forget Soho, drag em to Essex's beating heart Romford.

Webba, lol i resemble that comment altho "grow up" noooooooooo, never, as always any out put outside the norm is only ever in response to the boy Sachs and not for general human consumption.

Dickyboy, you thinking of buying in to BH, one post on BH about my post ???? you want some intel then try and look back at regular posters, disregard the crap, granted some of it from me but that's just me taking a small jittery accountant to the top floor. You will find some really good useful info and differing points of view backed up by some well constructed arguments normally just before the personal stuff kicks off, lol.

Dickyboy, believe it or not i'm not normally one for flexing, it's is actually directly connected to this share and for the eyes of only for one person, you need to know the back story and History some on here do you obvs don't, no issue.

Danman, your judgement is fundamentally flawed so i'm afraid it makes any comments are null and void. you only have relevance to yourself, time to leave the BH Board you just want a pointless debate and no one is engaging or listening as they see through you, sold on Fleagate and USA gate after worshipping at the temple of BH, end of.
Now more importantly i've got 8 days to decide Matt Satin new AM racing Green or Matt Satin Black , so damn hard, which do you prefer?

Btw Daman , no you dare not say you got this right, you couldn't be further from truth, you sold on fleagate and USA gate, stick to mining

Danman i know you wont belive me but currently sitting at Aston Martin Cambs Jardin Motors picking options on the Aston, thought id check in on share and there you were banging on again about 3rd party when i thought id put this to rest. Anyway nice risevtoday for those still in.
Was going with a Qucksilver Exhaust on this F1 but christ its loud , not sure an extra 6k for more bangs and crackles is worth it, your thoughts ?

Halliwell , a great reset for Debs website, a stratospheric improvement on what has gone on before and this is just the very very beginning, the nuances of this industry are being addressed with good quality people at top of their game.

Good for you Moose, pick a target and stick to it. well done.
