I think LSE are still sorting through the change too, I had a little top-up this afternoon and it's yet to show.

It will all sort itself out as the computers do their reset thing overnight no doubt.

I agree, a picture is worth a thousand words. I wonder if there's an emoji for irritating multi-millionaire troll.....?

I fear you are confusing Mi5 with some of her sister departments, very little glamour involved in the junior spy game!

IMVVVVVHO!

Forgive me, I meant 'an' innocuous...obviosly! (I don't know how to create an eye roll emoji!!!) :-)

Welcome back Clumpet, glad to know you're about! Trust you enjoyed your weekend off?

I'll call off my contact at Mi5 who was arranging a innocuous looking chap in a cheap suit to peek through your window! ;-)

I've emailed LSE and asked them to try to make contact with 'clumpet' just to make sure he's ok.

Hello, are you still monitoring this BB clumped?

Good afternoon all,
Did Clumpet follow us across to the new BB?

Very true! I feel I may have spread myself a little thin and it's too time consuming to stay on top of everything. Diversifying reduces risk but you need the time and headspace when there is so much movement.
My plan is to narrow my focus over the next couple of month or so and then see how the land lies post Brexit etc.

Good strategy uNkwnTrader, that's my plan too.

Aim is funny old place, she throws up some opportunities mixed with surprises and a fair smattering of disappointments!

I look forward to an exciting week or two here, and to sharing the rewards with you all!

Will anyone be considering holding some shares in the new company longer term or does that depend on who they are?

I hope that you're happy with your lot, your keyboard personality suggests otherwise but I sincerely hope I am misjudging you.

Humanity, like humility, is a gift we are not all born with but it is a skill we can all learn.

I'd like to offer my condolences Clumpet, and also share a story of the oldest man I ever met.
Aubrey (real name!) was 99 years old when I met him. He was a great old chap, with some of the best stories I've ever heard. He had all sorts of pains and ailments but never failed to smile. He also made the coffee whenever I visited though I offered to help, he just told me to sit down and have some patience. Aubrey had sadly lost his wife almost half a century before but he spoke about her very time we met, they hadn't been able to have kids, something he blamed on himself (without any good reason, but that was the sort of gentleman he was). He explained that she was a part of him and had been the best thing that ever happened to him. His house was full of photos of them together. I once heard him reply to someone who had asked what kept him going, he didn't understand the question as he wasn't making a choice he said, he was living the best life he could as that's what his wife had told they should do.
I could go on about dear old Aubrey but I just wanted to share his advice to me; be the best man you can be, that is a gentleman and a gentle man, a strong man is one who picks up others when they fall.

I think I will bid you all a very pleasant weekend and say thank you for an informative and at times very amusing day.

Wishing you all good health and happiness over the weekend whether you are a multi-millionaire or dreamer like myself.

PS I won't be visiting the bookies or doing the football accumulator.... ;-)

Clumpet, you, good sir, appear to be keeping up just fine.

Do we know the value of the tax losses/credits?

Thanks LB, the tax losses would make sense as an inducement. It seems the earlier suggested company would make a very good fit.

Am I to assume that your jibes of ignorance and those relating to football were pointed in my direction Eezy?

I will be placing a small wager on Tottenham Hotspur kicking a ball at some point in the next week or so, and perhaps even an each way bet on Manchester City wearing blue...

Thanks folks, my experience of take overs is limited. I understand the RTO mechanics but not 100% on the numbers.

Ignorance on my part. Does a higher share price with resultant higher MCap impact on the value of the new company when the reverse in takes place? If so, how does the SP react when the new company is insitu?
I'm trying to get my head around the value of the arrangement to all parties.
Forgive me if the questions are of the stupid variety!
