Banbury,
For us Midlanders, you'll have to explain this "Waxer" thing?
Is that anything to do with the Brazilian cruise?!?

Well done Banbury.
Roll on next week.

..on here. No more rampfest.
Looks like maybe starting to slowly get back to something sensible. 340 business as usual target for me.

Beach, and you also get a few more points on The Corruption Test. Smiley face.

Back from Le Mans and a soggy Spa. Have I missed 'owt?

Lets hope it works.
Currently the Spanish mills are controlling the rebar price at its recent high, and whilst the Turks have broken ranks and dropped the price, it makes no difference to us in the UK because of the tariffs...doh!

Morning all, hope you all well. Been busy.
Banbury, after our catalogue of previous Oily disasters, I swore off all oilies and junior miners a while back. So no haven't looked, well done on it!
Still in here. Patience is all.
Wake me up when the beers are on.

Banbury,
To be fair calling it a Ponzi scheme could land you in trouble. Its just using deposits for working cashflow -its not illegal. My understanding is that most travel businesses were doing it until COVID arrived, leading to much crowing from Mike Gooley of Trailfinders that they didn't do that and they could last for years etc etc.....

Hi Banbury, yeah York OK, but the thought of drink at the moment......-got battered in Ross on Wye last night....ouch.

Archy-the problem in looking back at the Market cap history is that all the back plotted graphs are now wrong and I dont know another source of the data.... But I totally agree with Physicals figures (and totally disagree with Dehghanis!).
The point about the rights issue raising liquidity is all well and good but the liquidity was ok pre covid and that had a market cap. Why now that market cap should be higher than it was then is not clear to me so I'm sticking with 340 as a target. Good to see the movement. GLAH

Banbury you keep raising the bar so to speak on these drinks....
I'm game for a trip oop North as I said so sometime eh?

Olmsey-youre correct .
I mis read it...
France is OK if double jabbed.

Olmsey. True, but for France you need an "Essential" reason to travel there. I dont think going on the p*ss at a racetrack counts! :)
Re Thursday announcement. The leaks are split aren't they? One says no travel to most places until next year, one says double jabbed back to Europe in time for summer hols
We shall see.

Very true Gooner.
But unfortunately not France, Belgium,Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland, Austria or Italy etc.
I should have said, I was meaning road trips in my case.
Fingers crossed though eh?

Guys,
To be totally fair, the "Green list" is pretty irrelevant.
I am able to self isolate easily but I still cant really go anywhere because most euro countries wont let Brits in at the moment without quarantine inbound. If I could I'd be on my way to the Austerreichring as we speak....
Needs movement from them also I'm afraid. (except Spain obvs!).
Doesn't bother the cruisers mostly though it seems so no drama there.

LOL.
Get your diary out fella!

The rebellion is underway...
Who'd have thought Lloyd Webber would be the one to start it?!
Arrest me as well. It'll be a Spartacus moment I tell ya!

Hi Slave, you beat me to it.
There are 3 situations basically.
1. Jobs that were won a good while ago and are probably already on site -orders will probably have been priced fixed. As long as its laid off all the way down the chain, all good. No risk.
2. Jobs closing now-Currently very difficult to fix major materials eg the big numbers concrete and rebar, Costain and/or subcontractors would decline to fix and client will have to cope with a variable materials cost based on some benchmark price in the bid. No risk.
3. There may be the odd job fallen between where the job was won fixed, and the materials price increase started before the job was all procured (there is always a lag). Might be some pain for someone there. As Slave says most subcontractors have larger buying departments than Costain now, and some of them wont fancy taking a big hit....
I think the largest potential issue is that irrespective of prices, and concrete and rebar are hard to fix at the moment, the lead times and volume restriction that are now coming on will delay projects, and there is a cost to this .
One to watch I think. But the gravy train that is HS2 will be fine whatever, so not too bad all in all.

No, am sleeping on it. 7 quid.

We're all avoiding putting the sign on it Banbury!
The last time you typed "it's xxx as I type" it then dropped back for a few weeks!
Hope you're well. If you know any good coastal pubs up your way please drop me a name.
Back to sleep.
