Using jobs as a political football is obscene .... One of the reasons more and more people have become totally disillusioned with Europe. More and more reason why so many more are making their way to the Uk but sadly when they get here the streets are not exactly paved with gold... Permit will if it ever gets issued should hand from a flag pole.... Its taken not months but years... Fortunately though it is imminent...

So the motor trade is one of the bright spots. Must be missing something somewhere as this has not moved for months...

I have been considering the situation here and am convinced that the problems of the retentions have almost certainly resulted with PG and the other big investor being caught wrong footed. So they are probably in the same boat as small investors if this goes pear shaped. No reasons have been forthcoming as to why Costain will not pay the outstanding money but as most of the companies in the group are profitable what is needed is fresh capital to allow them to rid themselves of the contracts and procurement section. Then slowly the group could pay off its loans. As to Manchester if they refuse to pay close it down, or lay off the staff and invite Costain/ Manchester council to go to law. A decision will take years and allow more than enough time to reposition the rest of the assets out of reach.... For the big investors it may be cheaper to raise the loan than let it go into admin. They almost certainly will not get a lot back and in the event some or all the retentions are finally resolved it would go to the receivers.. As I have written this off whatever happens to get a few pounds back is a bonus. If it survives though it requires some much better management..

After months of being in loss I am showing a small profit. Now to hold for the end of year zzz

This is going to cost the public sector more than the retentions. Call Vince Cable quick.. And tell Manchester to take their waste elsewhere...joke . Teg has spent two years trying to resolve this. Speechless.

This is a temporary suspension. With a market cap of currently £2.5 million and an outstanding retention of £1.5 million this will almost certainly attract a buyer. If the retentions are resolved then the company has a value but it may suit some to put the whole issue into administration. I wrote this investment off about 3 months ago so come what may I will not lose to much sleep over it. It would be nice to see it rise from the ashes (Or nabure heap) but I am truthfully not very optimistic.. Take care..

Yep. If Manchester remit their money they may survive by getting rid of the engineering part of the company but in reality it looks to be Kaput. At least the waste of space bod of directors will be out of a job too... They won't lose much because they have not got large share holdings. Without the engineering side it probably is not a bad little outfit. Myself will never invest in green or anything involving the public sector. Its a waste of time..

Think it has... Seems the retentions from Manchester will go a long way towards the demise of this. Another debacle in the making as their "Flagship" recycling sites are run down the mast!! Now for the wolves to come out and carve up the meat..

Time to hold on to your hats....

So if I understand Begiko's permit has been cancelled and nullified... Things must be moving..

This is not looking good. Still not a peep on the retentions and with each fall the prospect of PG wiping the floor with it beckons... With poor management this is being run into the ground.

Permit?

Talking to myself is becoming a habit. Last trade was a buy...

Permit.. Don't worry. It's imminent..

Having read the proposed deal yesterday I could not resist a small position when it dropped this pm. I did not think it would drop but with Blackrock's rns I too feel a bit more confident than I did when I pressed the buy button.. GL all

I live in town... In the town centre is a JS. It is not a convenience store but not a mega store either. A couple of hundred yards (Metres) away is the bus station and everyday lots of golden oldies arrive using their bus passes. They meet in the cafes and coffee shops and shop daily so some bright spark has decided to offer tins of soup at 5 for £3.00 instead of a single price of 90p. Now these are heavy so to carry them on top of the other basic daily needs is hard but by only buying one tin it feels you are being ripped off. I asked customer service ifI could buy 5 and they look after them and I would undertake to take them home two at a time.. They looked somewhat bemused. About a kilometre out of town a brand new Aldi is opening soon. It is bigger than the store in town and I have not seen multi buys in the store currently there. It too is on a bus route and guess what. A splendid new cafe is currently being converted by an opportunist and saying they will cater for pensioners.. Bye bye town centre ..

Update due any time now. Expect it to confirm things are going well if not better than expected. This has been stuck in a rut for some time now so it would nice to see this move up to the next rung on the ladder..

It is but we remain locked in the traps hopelessly tied in red tape and lethargic uncivil servants... Now we enter the fourth month since the permit was imminent!!

End of year!! Which one?? No longer get excited at the delays. Just have the occasional rant and who knows I will wake one morning to a surprise red dot flashing.. News will either be good or bad. Eurozone needs to create some jobs because we cannot fit everybody in to this small space called the Disunited kingdom !!

Just idleness. Think the whole eurozone is about to find out where its nutz are... Hope they have a huge boot for the hard working peeps in the mining permit department..
