I got an extra 95 followers on Twitter with that little nugget.

Oh, and Joe Biden thinks that Vladimir Putin is invading Russia.

I'm not sure who I'm more scared of. Biden or Putin.

Apparently, it's not Kiev, Keeeav or Kyav.v

It's pronounced Croatia apparently.

I hope that my research has stopped everyone scratching their heads trying to find out themselves.

@Barchid. I'm happy to share my findings with you all. It's information that's good to know so that we can all see what to expect when those cards expire.

@Barchid

Yes there's that too. I just hope things improve for us after the restrictions are lifted on Thursday, and some kind of normality returns.

@ Fairdealer yes there's that. I'm on the opposite end of the scale to yourself, I've not used my discount card for accommodation, but have used it to buy meals at the Glassworks in Stourbridge as when visiting friends that live in the area, so this could work well for us.

@FD. It's a small booklet of 12 vouchers that gives 30% off food, but just food. It seems that the discount on accomodation has also been removed.

It is also unclear if you can ask for any other booklets throughout the year as well, or if that one is your limit. And it only allows you to use it for a maximum of 8 people/meals per ticket.

Hope this information is helpful.

@Fairdealer. Come to think about it, I did make an enquiry about the discount card some months ago now,and they said that they've got no info about them at that time. I'm guessing that those cards are now defunct and have been replaced with these booklets.

Come

Booklet yet? Mine came through the post yesterday via my Halifax account.

It seems they've stopped the card that gets you 10% off food & accomomodation. It's just a booklet that gets you 30% off food now.

@ FD. I hope so too mate.

I've not been on here much of late, but I'm still holding.

I just thought I'd check in to see how we all are.

No. I don't believe that they are.

Same to you too Barchid. Have a good one mate. The same to everyone else here too. A prosperous new year to all of us.

And a prosperous new year to you all.

And a prosperous new year to

I'm glad you've had some luck with one of your holdings. Sometimes, a nice little bonus can come from an unexpected source. A nice little early Christmas present for you perhaps?

Hi Barchid. Yes, you have a point. That said, there's been a development with my SGC holding. It seems that the takeover by NEX may well to through. SP there has gone up.

Hi Barchid. Im not sure what to make of proceedings here at the moment. My patience is beginning to wear thin with the limbo land we find ourselves to be in with Mars. I know the issues with Covid have done the company no favours whatsoever, but I've seen little evidence of adaptability to overcome these issues.

You may well know that I have shares in a company called Fulham Shore, a Pizza/Greek restaurant chain. They too have had the same issues as Mars with closure of outlets etc, but they have shown enough initiative to generate income from home deliveries, reduced admittance to premises when restrictions were lifted etc. Ok, they are a different animal to Marstons, but still, despite Marstons having the off sales from supermarkets to fall back on, I've seen very little from Mars to improve their lot.

I'm going to wait until the Christmas/new year trading figures come out to see what transpires. I hope that these figures are worth waiting for.

All.shares carry an element of risk don't they ChuChubbyBrown?

The same to you too Barchid, and of course all other regular posters on this board. A pleasant and peaceful Christmas to all. I will be posting on here before the big day. I've just been rekindling my liking of the James Patterson's Alex Cross novels that's why I've not been on here as much of late.
