What about pikey and his mates!

Mind you, I know somebody who went from being an astro-physicist to driving a bus.
Apparently, he took to it like a fish to water.

[orange1] 01/2/2007 17:56

True. It is one think being the chef of a 3 star restaurant. But taking over this business would be quite a different kettle of fish.

I thought the Gordon Ramsay rumour was a red herring.

[orange1] 01/2/2007 14:53

There is no truth in the rumour that Gordon Ramsay is casting his eye over the company.
I am reliably informed that he has bigger fish to fry.

Buying shares in this tiddler is about as safe as swimming in shark infested waters.

On a more serious note, this company has been seriously underfunded from its Ofex days onwards. Only Roy Morris was keeping it afloat then.
They raise 4 mio on their transfer to AIM but that was never going to be enough given their expansion plans.

Maybe in retrospect a (lobster) basket case from the outset.

Why take the bait then Barn Owl?

[jonc] 01/2/2007 11:24

pollocks!!

[wiganer] 01/2/2007 11:08

Ok, I'll clam up then.

[tom.muir] 01/2/2007 11:05

This is supposed to be a serious thread!!! It's being ruined with rotten puns and I, for one, apologise for musseling in on it!

[davidlloyd] 01/2/2007 10:35

Ok, Who chucked out the ground bait?

[tiredoldbroker] 01/2/2007 09:42

tonyx, yes I know the location, I used to own a company on Hill Rise many years ago and walked past that little cut-through on my way to and from the station every day !

[sherlock holmes] 01/2/2007 08:52

I deduce this is cods wallap

[barn owl] 01/2/2007 08:24

Anyone bottom fishing!

I walk past the Richmond site every day as I work near there.
Its in an alleyway off the main high street & rarely has more than a few people in there at any one time.

Wiganer, re your post no.19 above, I think that you and I both put some thought into the investments we make or don't make, but we shouldn't be surprised if from time to time we come to different conclusions about a stock - and if we both have quite firmly held views, we may disagree quite loudly at times. But it doesn't mean that we can't respect each other as serious investors with something worth saying. I'm always interested in reading your ideas, even on stocks I don't want to buy !

As I live in southwest London, I'm looking primarily at Battersea and maybe Richmond but I know the Islington branch - quite near there on Upper St I'm friendly with the owners of Ottolenghi, which is a good place for lunch, followed by a browse in the bookshop overlooking Islington Green.

Is there any porpoise to this thread?

It will be difficult for them to roe themselves out of this. The FD has resigned? Well eel do for a start!
