@Oxygen, yes. I remember those silly prices too. They were down to 3p each at one point before they did a consolidation.

@ dogger.

Yes, you can see it coming a mile away, can't you?

@dogger. agreed. but don't forget that supermarkets are notorious for screwing suppliers like pfd, unilever, et al over on prices too. they only pay what they can get away with. joe public don't take that into account when they're all on social media sites such as facebook & ****ter. it's all 'greedy producers this, that and the other screwing everyone over' blah blah blah.

@Green555. That's all plausible. There was an unexpected RNS a while back saying that results were going to be "better than expected". So depending on what those figures are, I can see either:-

° Possibly reducing debt a little more.

° Increased and/or installing an interim divvi payment as well.

Just my opinion of course.

Are they? I never knew that. I always thought they were batteries.

You learn something new every day.

One thing I've noticed as well when we go to Greece is that many hotels have solar panels and massive AA style batteries on their rooves. Presumably storage for power for their own use. Many of them have been there for years. I suspect that Spain have a similar thing in place too, but surely these batteries need to be replaced at some point, and new builds hotel wise are likely to follow suit to keep costs down on free electric. Anyone have any idea how long those batteries last at all?

@Stupmy. Early morning mind fog mate. I'm useless until I've had my Weetabix ;-)

On my Halifax account. Had to check. I did wonder when I saw £5.80.

Bloody opening gaps lol.

Always hard to tell.

Having said that, I'm holding my 20k shares until this one multi bags. I'm more than happy to wait for that though. That said, Ive got a small trading pot that I've got working elsewhere atm so any profit I get from that will be used to add here as well.

Tell me about it.

There are 2 hotels in Kalamaki, Zakynthos that I like. 1 is an A I that we generally book with TUI, and another one with Jet2.

We generally start to look at it in January when we've got Christmas out of the way and usually pay between £3400 - £3900 for it for the 4 of us. This year though, TUI wanted North of £5200 for the same place. Jet2 faired much worse. £6k for a B&B!! Norfolk N Chance I was paying that.

That said we got a different hotel with First Choice this time in the same resort. £3749 including picking our seats on the plane there & back, so I took it.

A strange set up it seems. Maybe they overprice popular hotels to encourage people to take ones that don't get as many bookings to fill the rooms?

That's good. The last thing we need is what is seen as an unstable Government.

Very encouraging.

That explains who bought some of the 3 Million shares that were bought yesterday then. But at least one somebody else bought in big yesterday too. Was that one person, or an II? Who knows, strange too that no RNS on that score has not been announced too.

Either way, those big buys bodes very well in my opinion. Very encouraging.

Less than 175,000 sold, but just over 3 million bought. Very encouraging.

If the 6 trades I've just seen are indeed buys, then 2 Million shares being bought is very enouraging. Someone getting in early by the looks of it if I'm reading it correctly.

Yes, I've seen £1 so thrown about on here a while ago too. I forget who it was that said it, but I'm not sure where they got that figure from, as I find that hard to see coming myself to be fair.

If I see 50p, I'd see that as a better result than I could have hoped to see.

But if I see 20-30p, as a good return on my investment here.

Cash for the shares I believe it is, as they've offered to buy the company. No shares in the company that wants to buy FUL have offered any of their shares as part of the deal.

Got in at £5.28. Happy with that.

Although I do think £1 a pop is stretching it a bit.

@Downbut you could well be right. But stranger things do happen. I think I'll be seeing where this settles myself. The share price has it's head up It's @rse at the moment doesn't it?
