Fruitcake the numpty did stand up!

ICELAND warns of energy prices pushing products up, which is partly responsible for MARKS decline.

Folk can’t be expected to second guess what imbeciles are trying to write!

[fru1tcake] 07/10/2021 12:39

Will the real fruitcake please stand up!

[debsdowner] 07/10/2021 11:51

Numpty common sense of which you are somewhat short of should have been obvious I meant 2.7% wage increases. LOL

You are a naught nunmpty.Back to school for you.

[neilhumphreys] 07/10/2021 11:35

Debb’s cheers yeah!

You said 2.7% wages. The news article relates to WAGE INCREASES!!!! What a fruitcake !

If you are going to make comments my dear on a board make it factually clear!

[debsdowner] 07/10/2021 07:56

Numpty you cannot read (see footnote) nor can you not understand that fuel charges will go up a further 30% next year



On other news property prices rise 1.7% last month and with stamp duty kicking in it will take more money to move; first time buyers will find it stretched to get on the property ladder and cannot save quickly enough before prices increase.

Tesco; express article:

"Tesco came through the pandemic with a fair wind from lockdown cooking and online shopping converts. Pre-tax profit of £1.3bn and operating margins of close to 5 per cent mean it can outbid competitors for low-wage employees, whether through a 2.7 per cent pay rise for shop floor and warehouse workers last month or a £1,000 signing on bonus for lorry drivers. Some new recruits may have been unemployed or come off the furlough scheme. But with immigration restricted, many will have been lured from other, smaller employers who cannot afford to compete."

Tesco targets Christmas price cuts in fresh challenge to rivalsHow chief executive Ken Murphy beat the supply chain crisis forcing other supermarkets to warn of empty shelvesByLaura Onita6 October 2021 • 6:28pm... Daily Telegraph

John Redwood@johnredwoodIgnore France's threats of illegal action and get on with restoring our fishing grounds and GB/Northern Ireland trade.

Wages in Tesco are NOT 2.7% and it would be ridiculous beyond belief that anyone could think or dream they are!! Thick as two short planks! Wages in Tesco ex fuel and VAT sales are 7.3% and Tesco pay more per hour than any retailer in UK.

[fru1tcake] 06/10/2021 19:29

Looks like the yanks bought the dip again. Dow moved into positive territory.

[debsdowner] 06/10/2021 18:55

TESC0 may very well be making strong profits and margins of 5% but their wages for employess at 2.7% is below inflation and if they dont pay more they may find employees go elsewehere then TESCO will have to pay higher wages which in turn will make less profits.

Absolutely fab day !! Tesco share price has performed exceedingly well and Iv now sold on the days high having held for the last 3.5 years! So brilliant! Mks I bought 16 March 2020 and is still over 120% up so that’s wonderful indeed. Anything on Mks is a bonus frankly.

[netcurtains] 06/10/2021 17:02

luckily my online broker still has M&S as 1.85p as the closing price so thats OK then. ;-)
(if only)

[debsdowner] 06/10/2021 16:49

gerry, take no notice of Numpty he is on a bender again poor thing, the NHS only has limited resources for mental health. I would prepeare to have my tax hiked but you can only help so many and there will always be some who slip through the net and just cannot be helped.

[gerrym two] 06/10/2021 15:02

Really lol !!

John Redwood@johnredwoodTime to end the import everything model. We need to offer more good job opportunities to all those settled here, and buy more home produced goods and services.9:34 am · 6 Oct 2021·Twitter Web App

Tesco credits RAIL for its continued supply chain of stocks! Exactly the same as Mks !! Mks use masses of rail in its supply chain too!!

[neilhumphreys] 06/10/2021 14:16

Prime minister, Mr Boris Johnson MP. One has just heard his fantastic address given to the Conservative party earlier today.

What a wonderful speech !! We are lucky to have such a free enterprising PM!

That speech has made me even more excited about the future and vision for our fine Great Britain.

It knocked out of the park Labour parties speech! What!!!

Absolutely riveting!! Well done Mr Johnson!! Well done Conservative Party!

Like Tesco, and NEXT Mks will surprise many in the city with a great set of results for its half year on 10 November 2021.

There are very few well lead retailers remaining on the high st, many thousands of shops have closed who sat on the fringes way before the pandemic!

Ethical retailers will do better in the future when investors will guide money towards them out of decency and moral obligation. Not to mention a new traffic light system coming into effect on the stock exchange’s.

Mks will prevail, now on a growth trajectory with all efforts going into finding and opening food halls throughout the UK and beyond.


UK has a strong economic outlook with over 1m vacancies (without seasonal vacancies)
Business is not cutting back on staff it can’t find workers!

Wage costs may well increase but no doubt with that will come slower labor turnover and staff loyalty. Iv always used the philosophy of fewer people earning more money and considerably larger benefits than its peers.

Mks will announce a strong recovery in sales and ebitda/ebit I’m sure, together with a dividend return date!

[neilhumphreys] 06/10/2021 13:17

Debb’s duck, You speak with fork tongue and completely mitigating previous narratives. It’s a wonder anyone can understand you!

[debsdowner] 06/10/2021 13:06

Fruatcake you like many will are being hit with energy costs and its not that simple using less if the weather turns icy people will want to keep warm. One way is to cut dowwn on luxuries and keep the house cosy.

MARKS will be weak if Markets turn down all depends how bad US is later. If US tanks MARKS could turn down again.

TESCO up 6% probably by intention to buy back shares.

[abarclay] 06/10/2021 12:45

Took some
Results soon

[neilhumphreys] 06/10/2021 11:26

Fruitcake, 2.14 m households effected by energy companies going bust due to price cap!

Shell are picking up the bulk of customers from administrated energy companies. She’ll offer great fixed term tariffs!

I am so pleased about fuel prices heading north frankly it’s great news medium term as people will use less and that can only be good news for the planet man is killing.
