Lyntwyn,
Read that after the above post and i have been buying sub 90p and will add more @sub 90p i hope,as the Times says it has a very nice balance sheet and Talk Talk seems to now be going well in fact i got it a month ago and it beats BT on price and usage. So in theory 2009 ought to be good for CPW !
Edit....
And a war chess of 900 million and in the present climate that will go a long way so some good deals might be on the cards !

I dont know, but I do know that the Times listed CPW as a share to by for 2009!

Carphone's shares fell more than 70% in 2008 and are now worth 95p. Not all the bad news is factored in but much of it has been - from the dismal retail environment to the question of whether co-founder David Ross will have to sell his holding.

Despite this, Carphone starts 2009 with a healthy balance sheet: it is practically debt-free since it sold a 50% stake in its retail business to Best Buy for £1.1 billion last May and the p/e ratio is 8.4. Analysts see upside from a break-up of the broadband division Talk Talk - worth about £1 billion - from its retail stores even if a buyer cannot be found. The big "if" is how mobile and laptop sales perform in a recession, but with a strong balance sheet, which the company is already leveraging to secure more favourable terms from suppliers, plans to shut 100 smaller stores in 2009, and with £900m of banking facilities in place, Carphone is well-positioned to put up a good fight.

This time last week a daft northerner called Romust was driving through the rain oop north to meet up with a poster on here to have fisty cuffs.
At the same time the poster was having a nice classy meal with his wife in Norwich while silly thicky Romust was supping his bitter with whippet on hand going home to have his mushy peas and barm cake. Silly scuffy Yorkshire B@stard..I class you northern lot as Scottish as you're all tight as @rseholes and no one can understand a word you say!
LMFAO :-O

"If CPW split what are the sum off parts worth,any body seen any figures ?

Anywhere between 10p and 75p..hope this helps!

One analyst valuation quoted at 180p if split.

LOL...not scared of a dimwit like you.
Good mind to meet up with you now just to knock some sense into you.
Driving round in the rain in grotty Yorkshire to cr@ppy little pubs indeed while I'm having a classy night out in a warm posh restaurant.
Oooh stop it, I'm rolling on the floor pi$$ing my pants at the thought of it!
