Jordaggy, just read your post 17694 and it made me laugh, but knowing how the EU runs it wouldn't surprise me.

I'm just wondering, did you type all that out(headache inducing) or cut and paste to save the headache?

Which part of In/Out are we voting for?....even if Brexit were to happen what chance UK will still be in some shape or form....is it really that straight forward what we are lead to believe?...

[ladeside] 31/5/2016 13:59

vaneric, The problem I have is that I don't really have an opinion one way or the other, however the fact that so many people I despise are pleading with us to stay "IN" and of course are making up all the ridiculous scare stories then it will probably have me voting "OUT".

[diku] 31/5/2016 13:53

porty...there is me thinking takeover only happens in the Plc casinos markets!...

[wallywoo] 31/5/2016 13:15

lol, like that sums up the Europe project and makes you laugh!

[jordaggy] 31/5/2016 13:11

And there's this too!

The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.

As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English".

In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c".. Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.

There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f".. This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.

In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.

Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.

Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.

By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v".

During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensi bl riten styl.

Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi TU understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.

Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.

Ladeside, this is the first time we've really been given the opportunity to have a say, you might as well use it there's likely to be no other in your lifetime.

Harold Wilson gave us a referendum earlier and then campaigned to stay in, when asked if he would abide by the decision of the people his response was "The government will retain the right to govern." so I guess that was 'no'

My opinion is that several times over the last couple of centuries the French and the Germans have tried to rule the world only being blocked in their ambitions by Great Britain, since the EU has been formed they have taken by stealth and sleight of hand what they were unable to take by force.

[ladeside] 31/5/2016 12:22

Regarding the EU debate, although many points made in the 6 paragraph post are relevant, they're only relevant to specific parts of the country. As stated previously, house prices in my area are very low (average under £110k), the local secondary school serves 3 small towns and has a capacity of 1500 pupils of which under 1% are Black, Asian or Eastern European. Unemployment in my area is very high and the majority that do work have a 25 mile commute to the City for low paid clerical roles in Banking & Insurance. So, what does the referendum mean to people in my community ?

In a nutshell, absolutely nothing.

The Britain which is talked about by both sides of the argument is an unfamiliar Britain to us and I just wonder how many other communities across the UK are in a similar situation.

Will I vote ? Probably not.

I always vote in General Elections & Local Elections however I just don't have an opinion or care about what happens whether in or out and I know lots of people feel the same. Personally I believe there will be a record low turnout as I still haven't heard anyone on Buses, Trains, my office or on the street even discuss it. As far as i'm concerned the only people who really care are the money men at the top with a vested interest and for the normal punter there's nothing likely to change either way. So roll on and let's see how it all turns out........

Loganair...watch the presentation!

Wallywoo - Loganair: you are deluded if you think a company has £55B in turnover (valued at £13B), and you think it is not going anywhere.

Tesco could be going somewhere and sadly so far it seems to be going backwards.

Yahoo used to be a nearly $100bln company, now it´s worth less than $30bln and is going backwards at a rate of knots while M&S has basically just stagnated and stood still for the past 20 years.

In my good opinion Turnover means relatively little, it´s the margins and profits that matter. It also seems to me that Tesco´s management are not moving forward, they have striped out what the previous CEO did, got rid of the Jets, but what is new in town for Tesco´s.

[wallywoo] 30/5/2016 17:24

yes at just under £3, a long time ago now, sold his last lot in October 14, over 18 months ago.

This is now worth little over half it was then, and is now recovering. Don't take my word for it, have a look at the latest webcast and results



Also check out the chart, and the potential inverted head and shoulders pattern forming

Has Warren Buffet sold out here?...

[wallywoo] 30/5/2016 12:27

loganair: you are deluded if you think a company has £55B in turnover (valued at £13B), and you think it is not going anywhere.

I don't think it will be the same beast it used to be in future years, but neither do I think it will not be able to evolve in to a cash machine for present investors.

It is tempting to think this trend will continue but this company just has too many things going for it, this is the turn around point IMO.

[loganair] 30/5/2016 11:44

Because it has become so boring to chat about Tesco, being a company in my view that is not really going any where for quite some considerable time.

The questions I ask my self are - Will Tesco´s:

1). Regain the 5.7% market share they have lost over the past 5 years.
2). Increase their margins to the 5% to 7% it once used to be.
3). Make the profit it used to make.

It seems to me on all three questions the answer is very,very highly unlikely, therefore in my view the Tesco share price will not get up to where it was a few years ago and hence why I say Tesco has not become a share for Speculators who trade rather then the medium to long term investor.

It is also highly likely that over the next few years Tesco will keep losing market share.
