£3.50 party Banbury....And I bet there would be a lot of flesh!

Slave!
How are you me old fruit?
A bit of excitement....
Hurrah for BS bingo! A staple of all good contractors. I just wish we could have a presentation of the Old Contracting margin (low% x High t/over, VS the brave new world leading edge, caught and bowled! ie Leading edge % T/over x % margin + remaining contracting turnover x low margin= Better? Or worse?
But best bite the bullet , ride the tiger, sweat the asset etc etc fade to close.......Wheres Stuart Doughty when you need him?
At least now the traders are here Old Metom will get the chance to get out even..but he wont because he thought CINE was gonna be 2 quid in a fortnight..LOL> You been doing a good job for someone anyway while they've been accumulating Donkey boy.
Sizewell C? BYLOR job that mate-IOU Part deax!
Sante!

Banbury, Spare cash? Oilies? Oh no!! Throw the man a life jacket.
Just back from Le Mans. We had a 6 quid party there, rinsed the guts out of it.
Hey Joe S! The Stranglers played there..not as important as the Feelgoods obvs, but similar to this board. Half of them are dead and gone, and the other half are trading on hope! xx

No drama.
I think when the CEO says hes going to have new strategy..less risk and more money % age wise, I think everyone in the industry would say yeah? Consulting may be higher margin and less risk, but everyones at it and its also less turnover so TO x % may be equal or less who knows. No real update on that as yet.
No huge bad news though as far as I know....

Well Kier are pretty similar graph wise?
Have the other 3 had rights issues?
Been no good news here really for a while and the City don't like the CEO allegedly though they voted through his remuneration so maybe that's wide of the mark..
Out of intensive care, now on the ward I think.
In theory there is an upside here but patience needed for sure.

Ah excellent.
In France myself topping up the vino and wandering about, so not listening in.
I hope the institutions vote down the remuneration but they wont I guess.
I guess here, trading in line eventually becomes a plus!
Enjoy a few glasses of red.

We won't.

He went to HYVE and started same s**t there but now gone I think.

Full page splash in ST travel today...
Itinerary looks good!

Yeah my my mates would say I have "some"Civ Eng!! LOL.
Yeah still in, been working for the grey gold specialists for over 30 now.
You will be fine at 77,you'll hang on for some return when you get there albeit maybe at a reduced level I still think that a properly run profit making, divi paying COST is worth 150.
But AV is cutting a lone figure apparently and the FD a career Director, no presence, so may need a change when the Insti's have had enough.

Morning Spy.
Yeah I've bought a few during the pain. I guess I just feel that its being incentivised the wrong way. Shares to 200% of salary target? Well that means when the price is down low you need a lot more free shares to get close to that number. One day the price will go and those 2 will be very rich for doing nothing for the body of shareholders. Hopefully the Institutions think the same. 2 replies so far.One from HL who initially patronisingly explained to me what nominee accounts were. After I pointed out that, no, this was listed as a HL fund he said "Ah! Oh that's run by Hambros anyway-we're not involved in it-speak to them...." Informative...And Hambros did acknowledge receipt and stated that they had passed my comments to their managers on the COST holding..Nothing earth shattering.
Early 80s? Sounds like you had fun. For me that was Uni and then building a water treatment works near Ipswich..
Seems a long time ago. Let us know if you do go!

Have you ever considered Premium Bonds?

Banbury needs a beer!
Thanks for the research/musings.

Top 20 institutions hold 31.2%. Over the last 2 years that has risen by about 2%. Only one large reduction and that set off against 2 large increases. They cant be that happy either.
Emailed the top 10. Not expecting a reply!

Spy, I am away else I would go.
"The Company announces that its Annual General Meeting will be held on Thursday 5 May 2022 at 3.00pm at No. 11 Cavendish Square, London, W1G 0AN (the "2022 Annual General Meeting")." I think reading the RNS you can just go, and can ask questions via a email process also on the RNS.
I need to find an hour to email the top few institutions. They wont reply I think but I want to ask them their view on the Directors remuneration not being related in any way to the share price...
Keep the faith. We'll get out of Jail. But it gives everything to the view that FTSE Directors being over paid.
And following my post shes got 250k plus shares coming for nowt. nice.

Quetta,
You're not going to start posting sheet every 5 minutes like you used to on the PFC board are you?
I guess that's what the filter button is for huh?
At least here there's usually no-one to react to it.....

Good ramp but it wasn't 600 pre covid....
When they raised they diluted and consolidated.
Its about 340.

p84 ish in the Annual report. Anyone had a nose?
According to this the Directors have achieved 73% of their targets for 2021....
In 2021 us shareholders achieved -33% on our investment. No alignment in interest there.
They are supposed to have 200% of salary in shares as a target -to align themselves with the needs of the shareholders. That's good isn't it? Helen Willis in post, what, 18 months? Current shareholding 0. Zilch. Nada. She's good you have to say. She's figured out there's no need to spend any of her £360k/annum on shares..the LTIP plan will serve them up for free if she sits on her hands.
AGM coming up.
Anyone planning on going? Spy, you'll get a fee Latte with your numbers! You'd have to think the institutionals who made up 90% of those voting in favour of the remuneration policy last year might now be reconsidering?
I wonder who they are?
Donkeys indeed! LOL.

I suspect hat they got rich by being a little canny and a little ruthless.
No tax is no tax.
I used to work for a very well heeled individual who regarded beating the taxman as a personal obsession.

Nice one M'aam!
