It's a bit of a gamble though don't you think.

I've got some money I've put away towards our next holiday, but I'm tempted to use it to top up. Decisions, decisions.

I'll look into that one, Stalin, thanks mate.

I've read enough to make a choice. Think I will be looking elsewhere to invest my money.

So let's all get off to the pub and start early :-)

I would expect Mars to do well over Christmas, as it's a peak trading time, same as with Supermarket stocks. I would be worried if not so here's to a god set of results at the end of December.

I topped up with 900 shares a couple of weeks ago at �1.06 and thought I had done well. I think I would struggle to resist if it dropped to a quid each, I'd be very tempted to add more.

You could well be right. Time will tell. I would consider a top upif it does though

I can remember when it went down to 3p each, (pre consolidation) and as I had bought in at an average of 64p, so as you can imagine I spent some time with my boxers in a boil wash. Still, all part of the game huh?

Did you buy in today then?

And was quite passionate about it, but sold my holding quite a while ago as I just couldn't see any clear improvement. I was rather hoping to have been wrong to do so but 4 years on I'm disheartened to see little (if any) improvement, which is a shame because they hold some fantastic brands, which I love and actively buy on a regular basis. But good look to those that hold, and have held for a while.

I'll drink to that.

Keep it coming.

I'm not personally invested here, but this fine seems unfair. Have those that stole the money been prosecuted for theft? If not, why not? Is it Ladbrokes responsibility to ask every customer if they think they have bet too much? No. Where does it stop? Are pub staff to become the don't have too much to drink police? Supermarket checkout staff refusing to sell that bar of chocolate because it will make you obese? The list is almost endless. As adults we are all responsible for our actions, if we choose not to accept this, then we must face the consequences. We should not expect others to wipe our backsides for us.

Yes, I noticed that report too. Hopefully, we will fair reasonably well. I would expect to see a small dip in sp in the morning due to this, but nothing too serious I hope. We shall see. Some of the money lost in pubs should be offset in off licence sales in supermarkets I suspect.

Hope they are all in the pub.

That was dated 8 years ago. Are you saying its still that bad?

I couldn't agree more, Zante. I emailed J2 customer services early last month with a few issues I had experienced with them on my recent holiday with them, which I won't go into on here, but I finally got an email back from them yesterday after waiting a good 3 week wait. I was quite shocked that I had waited the best part of 3 weeks for at best, generic corporate b.s. To be fair, we had a better customer service experience with the lady that cleaned our room at the hotel than I did with the airline. Quite shocking really. Can't honestly see us using them again.

Slow but steady.

*great entry price.
