Buyers of shares are few and far between these days...not a single buyer again today.

Some good ideas here especially about using flower pots..

[abergele] 30/6/2017 09:28

buywell,
That could be the best thing perhaps for CRAW,
as you may know yourself that when you tell someone not to do a thing,
they will quite do the opposite, as per the outsize/overweight public out there.
It may be a poor wet summer that'll affect the sales rather than a notification
that quote was not a deramp, just a thought....gla

Good afternoon Abergele, been out this morning..to the gym, I'm not a keep fit fanatic but the cardiac department considers it essential. Had some stents put in a month ago,
all going along OK now.
Good luck with your additional shares, I'm sticking with what I have until Mr Boporans influence beings to show. (not sure if that is how his name is spelt but we all know who I mean)

[optomistic] 29/6/2017 09:49

Probably having their bacon butty first playful ;-)

They are late with the Results of the AGM RNS

Hope he doesn't go on the same apprenticeship course as the CEO & CFO !!!!

[buywell3] 29/6/2017 08:51

So he does not meet your expectations then

Or maybe he does not know his onions yet and is doing his CRAW apprenticeship

[igbertsponk] 29/6/2017 08:41

Odd for the (retiring!) Chairman to answer everything - CEO not up to answering questions?

[tadders2] 29/6/2017 07:08

Well done playful. Was there any mention of what Mr Chicken was up to?

[deadly heisenberg] 28/6/2017 10:12

Was artificially puffed up.

Come back closer to 15.2p even so I won't be buying at that price. I prefer a 30%-40% discount to placing price.

[5richo] 28/6/2017 09:23

Oh dear !!Good luck to the incoming chairman He's going to need it with this mob

[buywell3] 28/6/2017 08:52

A cut in staff is what is needed, the chart shows the market for CRAW is not good

It's going off.

This company employs too many people

It has lost control of its costs

[1iniesta] 28/6/2017 08:13

Do they have the expertise at shop floor level a business like this can't be ran from behind a desk It doesn't matter if they have two sisters three sisters or four sisters on board the one single thing that can turn this business around Is the right people at shop floor level who's training them and who's training the trainer I'll guess nobody

[playful] 28/6/2017 07:43

I'll be asking them don't you worry, they don't mention margin on those LFL sales so that's going to be another question.

First 20 weeks last year was >37%

[shanklin] 28/6/2017 07:13

No position here currently but am rather surprised there is no commentary on whether CRAW is currently trading positively. Certainly makes it difficult to decide whether to go long.

[playful] 28/6/2017 00:31

Will do!

Say hello to PJ for me.

[cockerhoop] 27/6/2017 22:13

Probably pass you on the M1, i'm heading North to see our friends in Elvington!

Remember to wave :-)

[playful] 27/6/2017 18:52

Bhoparan certainly have felt headwinds so we will have been struggling to increase LFL sales..

Bhoparan, reported this week a 37% fall to £13.7m in operating profit for the quarter despite the rise in revenues, they said that the decline was due to "one-off items", such as the outbreaks of bird flu, or avian influenza.

"Our European poultry export business in both Poland and the Netherlands has been affected by avian influenza outbreaks on the Continent," said Ranjit Singh, the 2 Sisters Food Group chief executive.

We import from Poland & Netherlands so I'd expect to see bird flu mentioned in tomorrow's update on numerous occasions.

May 16/17 Poultry (chicken), Whole bird spot price increased 41%
