There is a lot of rubbish talked about quality. The taste the difference range is up with the best. The mid range is still a very good choice and compares well for everyday choice. I admit I have not tried the basic range. Everybody has their own ideas about the best supermarket for food quality or price and it does pay to shop around certain products. I was suprised that Tesco whose reputation had just gone through a murky and dubious past were allowed to take over Bookers considering they already had the largest market share. Sainsburys had to deal with some people who were on the commitee and had previously worked for Tesco. Nudge nudge say no more

yes the roads will be smoother, so less damage to their vehicles.

interim results 7 Nov, somebody may have leaked info.

I am sure the company will look at any competing stores and consider which are the best located and have the most potential for the future. Look at customer footfall, access and ease of deliveries to and from sites. Also look at which sites suffer the most when we have extreme weather conditions. Employers must be able travel with ease aswell as customers and do not forget home deliveries

does anyone know how the graphene projects are going and if there have been any serious applications or is it still a pipedream ?

I have voted to reject the offer, I know I have a miniscule amount % wise but every little helps and if enough of us small fish can stop them from reaching the acceptance target it will send a message to the management. Some of us feel that the management have let us down, We supported them when they needed us, but as soon as they saw that they could make some easy money they decided to jump at the offer.WHAM BAM THANKYOU MAM ( mugs ) The technology is still progressing and we may need partnerships , but we do not need a company coming in to asset strip and share the spoils. ( rape and pillage )

I will also say no to the current offer. The future for this company is still good as they are in markets that are expanding and with a half decent management should be at the forefront.

It quickly recovered but between 10:20 and 10:30 something went on. I like this company so hang on in there.

It appears that someone in the market managed to cause a sharp drop, was this a fat finger blunder or a plan to catch some shareholders who had an automatic sell and allow some trader to vacuum them up?.

Yes we are bitter, come on there has had to be a underhand ? undetetected deal going on

Lets face it, us shareholders who supported the company over the last couple of years and decided that the company still had potential to develop into a bigger market despite the mismanagement hiccups, have not had a thank you from the company. The lack of on going information since the well supported rights issue to get them out of the slump they were facing and push them forward into the next phase, was then just met by utter silence from the company which obviously was very worrying. They did not have to indicate that they were in talks over a possible take over ( how long were these secretive talks going on ) but, progress in the company was moving ahead as they had predicted in the distant past but by not issuing an update which was well over due, they muddied the waters. The management needed our support, but most of them will now have feathered their nests and will end up in lucrative positions and be rewarded after the takeover.

I agree that if the company had issued a third quarter update in January the share price would not have fell like it did. By not doing this they caused doubt in share holders and potential buyers minds, that the recovery was not going aswell as previously predicted. This has kept the share price falling and made the offer look attractive. If a third quarter trading update had been forthcoming, I am sure the share price would have been a lot higher and any takeover offer would have to be higher. Come on Financial Conduct Authority surely lack of information constitutes market abuse

I just hope that the full year report is better than the new name for the company that was known as molins. just google mpac and see what other answers you can end up with. Surely someone at the company should have tried this before deciding to try retaining "m" for molins pac for packaging, not very original.

I thought that if the takeover transaction was not completed by the end of this year we would receive a dividend. Can anyone recall what was actually stated when the bid was started. It looks like we may have to through another spell of satisfying the takeover authorities and other bodies if a deal is to be completed. mindfully mindless the continuing travesty for shareholders. merry xmas

after a great deal of deliberation I have decided to accept the offer on half of my shares. I would think that they have chosen this way so that them and us are not subject to extra taxes. If you have them in an i.s.a. there will be no capital gains. I think that once these shares have been purchased they will be taken out of circulation and therefore there will be fewer shares remaining in the company and therefore each remaining share will be worth more as a holding in the company. If you have to pay capital gains you should be consulting someone for advice or sell shares up to your limit. If you do not sell your shares the price should in theory go up as you will have a bigger percentage holding in the company. I am not a expert and if anyone else has theories please inform.

I cannot see how one company can be accused of having a media monopoly. There are too many other media companies out there and other outlets to vent ones opinions and access news from. We also have the BBC who tend to go over the top with biased reporting. The government should not be trying to influence the outcome of this bid by putting trivial obstacles and excuses in the way to prevent the takeover. The government should just carry on dragging this country down pratting around with the ill advised brexit.. Note if you took the percentage of people who did not vote and added to the remain percentage there is not a majority who voted to leave.

woody is still feasting out on his past performances, set up a trust with a lot of high yielding stocks and risk a few that appear to have reasonable form. **** off a few to get the price to fall, let everyone know which stocks he is backing so some people will follow him into these markets and push up the price, what a brilliant scheme. come on lemmings woody knows best.

over the last few years rpc have had various rights issues and the dividend has increased as well as the share price and debt. there comes a time where you start to worry that the rights issues are paying the dividend and whether there is some sort of financial wizardry going on that we do not understand
