Slight increase in shorts to 1.51%

NDZ, Thanks for your analysis. Can't imagine many will be selling just yet. I'm am certainly going to sit tight.

NDZ. Agree gut instinct mixed with a history does give a slight edge. Despite the "dividends cancelled" I haven't given up hope. Those with the clout would be happy and we always get a slice albeit rater thin.
Thanks for the offer I'm partial to almond flavours. Not the bitter variety though.

Hope you got them around 240p because have a feeling they won't return there any time soon

NDZ. Do they ever invite us during a rise. Am I a sceptic perhaps ?
30k shares or £30 k makes a difference but either way pretty ballsy unless your sure.
Looks to me as if they have decided it will rise but want that all to themselves as usual.
You mention Blackrock, no RNS though?

Onwards and upwards !

Always good to "wake up" irrespective of mood Oli.

Posties could increase current income by not striking. Instead cancel CWU membership and subscription. Invest as shareholders in the Company they work for. Then give 100% effort.
After all they seem convinced the Company cares more for investors interests.

Overworked and underpaid huh! PP.
Balderdash!

Just read through the comments and see the reasons given for the displeasure. I am simply reporting the mood there

Meanwhile S.P. gaining strength :-

The members don't sound happy with the CWU on Twitter. The general tone seems despairing e.g.
"Pathetic , just as i expected , all that money lost for what? you are a total joke"

Hound, I have had a theory about that for some time.

Yes hound. it doesn't take much working out does it. The CWU have a similar approach each time which is escalate to the point where it appears that all out war is the only solution.
The Company has a conveyor of CEO material which takes the flak then gets spit out eventually.
Always seems to me that the CWU actually work for the financial Institutions. A stock that reaches a high and then remains static is not that useful. However one that's guaranteed to reach lows followed by highs bi-annually is manna from heaven.
Any government Labour or Tory would be crazy to accept this set-up back into public ownership. Zero chance of that headache happening.

Beet, you say "Ricky comes across as a very nasty piece of work" but can you honestly say DW is any different. Ricky could well be what's needed to " fight fire with fire"
One thing for sure no amount of sweet talking is going to cut it here. The softly, softly approach would simply be seen by the CWU as weakness and encourage them to bite the hand that feeds their members.
It's essential the Company resolve this issue once and for all. The bi-annual so called negotiations are nothing of the sort. They are threat and counter threat that erodes trust and affects the Company income and it's ability to reward employee/shareholders accordingly.

Oligarch. No difference of opinion here. An informative and well presented post thank you.

Oligarchs "I'm sure that you are so upstanding that you have never taken advantage of a situation......."
In recent times similar questions have been asked of me here. Obviously with the meaning that it can't possibly be the case.
Categorically yes I am totally upstanding. My philosophy in life is "do as you would be done by" of course that statement will be derided but quite honestly. I don't give a damn.
I believe my philosophy is testament to my good fortune in life.

Oligarch. I'm well aware of the terms as you were when you posted the items knowing they were pretty sure to fail due to industrial action which you were taking part in.
The glee you were expressing here due to your free deliveries was a clear indication as to your character or should I say "lack of"
Your question would I complain about poor service? Surely any right minded individual would not ask for their money back when they were the cause of the delay and knowingly purchased irrespective.

The advantage of tracked as Oligarch gleefully pointed out is that he could claim rebates for late receipts.

JB, I had similar thoughts when reading that it took 2 years before they moved on. Maybe they were a bit slow on the uptake? In which case perfect postie material ;-)
IA or not the fact that the customer paid a premium for tracked should ensure their service was superior to those who paid the basic rate.
