So Mid Jan approaches and this is SUSPENDED still. Oh dear.

I spoke to this company recentl;y :) They said WE ARE SUSPENDED. Im led to believe its nothing serious though by posters on here, just a fused socket or faulty washer in a tap or the like!!? That is all it is yes ?

STILL SUSPENDED THEN ? Another year passes and another AIM disaster dissapears. This aint coming back in my opinion. AIM doesnt want these sort of comanies anymore its cleaning up its act. When they get suspended AIM seizes the oppertunity to get rid of yet another one.

I dont suppose it matters that the Aim Regulators have hardened their stance re these tiny AIM wannabe's. Things like discouraging Nomads from touching bargepole stocks with ...a bargepole. And stating that they now think a company must have at least £6m in cash or assets on the books to warrant an AIM listing. I dont suppose any of these small matters is holding up proceedings here. Or ? What is it they do again ? Or rather what WAS it they DID.?

You know I never thought having your shares suspended SUDDENLY and without explanation was a "good thing" Until I read all the posts on here from the resident experts.

Yes I see. Getting on with the business of being SUSPENDED!!

"Working well" ? So its paying the bills is it ? Has ANYONE who is not connected to Tea or Shard actually bought into ANY of these 2 placings ? You probably think communisim in post war Romania "worked well" ? And Mourinho's latest stint at Chelsea "worked well" How many placings in total acoss ALL markets was there last year ? If Tea were able to partake in all of them it would still lose money. Thankfuly though that wont happen as it is SUSPENDED.

Can any of you help me please ? I was told on this thread that this would be unsuspended within 24hrs yet it still seems to be SUSPENDED. Can anyone explain why ? You all said it was a trivial matter yet it looks rather more serious to me. Most companies that get suspended like this NEVER come back.

You keep saying news is due and the sp is about to rise. Can you tell me what news is due ? And why are you so convinced the sp is going to rise ?

What news are you expecting ?

Strong support at 1.60 but if it breaks below that then there is a lot of downside. I think it will hit 1.60 to test the support. If it holds then all and good but if it breaks and closes below then there could be a lot of damage.

First what ?

They dont have a shareholders list up yet but the 3 mentioned below took £48 mill and are cornerstone investors(there for the long term with further funds to invest if requred) Invesco Woodford etc
