I find Sainsbury's often have items unavailable or some really dumb substitutions ("we're out of St Emilion, so we've substituted it with a zero alcohol Sauvignon Blanc"). I think this must be a function of using low paid teenagers to wander around a store picking the items and making it up as they go along. The beauty of Ocado is the integration of the ordering platform, the stock control and the automated item selection. Once you've ordered it, it is going to show up. With Sainsburys, it is only an hour or so before delivery that you find out your order is not going to be what you expected.

And as Trump is "the best, the very best" he will no doubt manage the fund, complete with a special 88888 account for his losses 🤣

Topped up. Irresistible at this price. Thought I was smart getting some at sub 900p earlier this month, turns out I should have waited! Still, building a solid position here now and can see the SP turning around within weeks. Maybe get a lift at the AGM on 27th when the team can explain how this is just delayed revenue rather than lost revenue.

Popcorn for breakfast knot? You must be getting the stuff delivered by the lorry load!

FTSE 100 hits intraday all time high. If only LGEN could do the same, we'd be up in the 320s!

Still, as long as the direction of travel is positive...

Oh dear Warthog... Well as long as it's only Aviva that is down today, you must be right! Let me check the rest of the UK market... hang on a minute?

Now can we get back to business?

Hi Dazzle, I hold these in my ii ISA and there is nothing to pay. If they declare a divi of 2.11p per share, that is exactly what I receive. As I understand it, any "charges" are simply administrative costs within the business, but they may quote them for comparison purposes.

Maybe they should go for an expensive rebrand like Jaguar? That would be money well spent!

I transferred to Interactive Investor from Barclays last year. A very good move in my opinion! II pay dividends on time, have reasonable charges and a good platform. Barclays made so many mistakes, not helped by the fact that AJ Bell are the administrator of the pension, introducing an extra layer of charges and they just don't seem to communicate. One last thing, I looked at their charges for drawdown/UFPLS for the future and there are none! Now, that seems great value to me.

The industry should jack up interest rates charged on finance to cover any future unknown retrospective court decisions!

I'm going to have a read through t now.

Excellent work. If only all AIM shares were as reliable as RNWH!

I transferred ISA and SIPP from Barclays "Dumb Investor" a year ago to Interactive Investor, for exactly this reason. The process was fairly painful, but all on the Barclays end, they couldn't get anything right! I'm still waiting for a refund of tax they shouldn't have deducted from a dividend in my ISA. I haven't experienced any other providers but these two, but I would advise anyone that Barclays are terrible, don't use them, you can always do better!

Ooh yes, a country song entitled "How can I miss you when you won't leave me alone?"

It's a closed end fund so, unlike a unit trust, in order to grow the fund they need to issue new equity.

It's a fairly lengthy article detailing some history, plus the fund raising rounds Ocado has issued over the years. It highlights the difference between grocery and technology, bemoans the low valuation the UK puts on technology plays and the short termism of the UK market. Nothing particularly new, particularly if you keep up to date with these boards. It maybe useful to draw attention to Ocado for investors who've lost sight of it?
