I have to admit, this is my favourite :-

I'm quite partial to Saddle Tank myself....similar to the old Cask Tetleys which I find is a lovely brew ! Pardon the pun

Enjoyed a couple of Pedigrees last night. Don't think there's a better ale around, imo.

[chinese investor] 01/11/2018 10:09

Good Point !

Budget should prove a winner for our share price lots a savings on property rates

Unleash the dogs of tax accounting :) [Couldn't resist the double pun...]

The government is estimating that up to 90% of Retail properties could benefit.

[scburbs] 30/10/2018 07:39

Does anyone know of any pub companies with a significant presence outside the South East which are going to have a lot of properties with a rateable value of £51,000 or less?

I can think of one, the rateable value of business premises is public information and £51,000 rateable value is not a current market value and will include a lot of pubs especially outside London/SE.

"To qualify as a small retailer, business premises must have a rateable value of £51,000 or less."

Anyone have any ideas if the business rates cut will help benefit any/some/all Mars pubs? Hopefully the 4.9% wage rise will filter back into the tills.

Even better for farming.

Good for the fudge shop, expect lots of fudge & ob-fudge-cation for broken britain.

[scburbs] 27/10/2018 09:41

Potentially good news coming in the budget.

Chancellor plans High Street rates relief

[gerdmuller] 26/10/2018 10:31

I'm reaching out for that pint but I can't seem to get hold of it for some reason.

[skinny] 26/10/2018 10:13

Here's hoping - cheers!

[gerdmuller] 26/10/2018 10:04

Maybe people think that with all this stock market trouble going on then people will drink more beer.

[cc2014] 26/10/2018 09:09

Good morning. So, we've broken through 100 against the trend of the FTSE.

I'm not sure why but sentiment seems to have changed. Certainly MAB, GNK, JDW are not going up with MARS. Perhaps it is seen as a safe haven

I conclude whoever was selling has finishing selling and the conviction of the remaining holders seems high as it's going up on low volume.

[janekane] 26/10/2018 09:07

Broken the £1 barrier that's a good sign to go long

[janekane] 25/10/2018 16:42

Selling some of the assets would ease costs
IE breweries to housing
Undeveloped land to houses
No more build then lend lease property's costing 3 to 5 times initial costs over 35/40 years
Cut costs ,directors bonus 'cut divi to reflect 4% of SP
Concentrate on selling rooms at competitive prices
If the city see these being implemented we should get a vast improvement in institutions like the Germans buying into our company
The share price in 2024 could be treble today's
Unfortunately the CEO will not change his plans

[chinese investor] 25/10/2018 12:54

I still believe this !

Cost of Annual Dividend is £44 million - eliminating that is hardly going to make impact into reducing the debt.

[quady] 25/10/2018 12:40

Perhaps time to speculate to accumulate

[7ran5ac710n] 25/10/2018 11:51

Perhaps it's time to curb the div to lower the debt...

[janekane] 25/10/2018 11:06

This Will not change for the next decade with out radical change at the top
The City do not like the debt
short traders should look at this as a way to make money
