Where is that debt reset button...that will reset all the debts around the World...then we can all live happily thereafter...start from zero again...

This from Young's this morning re Finance and Liquidity



If this is indicative of the industry generally, just what MARS doesn't want, you might think - more debt.

Naked Morris Dancers?No, maybe not.

[ny boy] 13/5/2020 12:03

Could add some pole dancing into some of the pubs to boost the visitors 😁

If Aldi are selling it including duty and vat then it will be no where near £1 a bottle.....

[john09] 13/5/2020 11:23

Mars will be getting a quid a bottle off Aldi.

[poolies3] 13/5/2020 11:02

Wonder what percentage of their annual returns are made from supermarket returns
Cannot imagine it is a lot when Aldi are doing Hobgoblin for £1.25

Any possible bidders out there for Mars?...should I say Marston?...

[skinny] 12/5/2020 16:23

I would have thought so - I've been buying both Gold & Ruby from Sainsburys or Lidl during the lockdown - both seem to be big sellers - not least due to the pricing!

Update on furlaughing policy this afternoon from Rishi. Likely to be extended to Sept but reduced percentage payout from 80 to 60%.
Always drink hobgoblin, think, then buy low, sell high. Unless you're a vertically challenged seller. In which case you probably want to be buying high and selling low.

Gone to the pub...

[barnes4] 12/5/2020 09:35

Where is that Kirk I have a bone to pick with him after all his ramps on Sunday

Shared housing?...no doubt plenty in the UK...




About 200 workers from a meat processing plant in western Germany have been tested positive for COVID-19. Officials say the virus spread through shared housing for the factory's mostly Eastern European staff. Local residents are deeply concerned.

[john09] 12/5/2020 09:11

Bought more today. Just a waiting game. It’s rallied to 49p intraday during lockdown

[ny boy] 12/5/2020 08:32

What are the reasonable share price levels Here, assuming a re opening of pubs etc in say late July, can these survive, obviously a lot of smaller pubs will sadly go under.

Germany’s infection rate jumped for the second day in a row as coronavirus lockdown measures have begun to be relaxed, the country’s centre for disease control announced on Monday.

Latest figures from the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) show that the coronavirus reproduction rate in Germany is now 1.13, up from 1.1 the day before and .83 on Friday.

Attempts to maintain a unified UK-wide response faltered over the weekend after first ministers Nicola Sturgeon, Mark Drakeford and Arlene Foster all rejected Boris Johnson’s new “stay alert” slogan. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are sticking firmly with the "stay home" message.

London marathon rescheduled for 4th Oct. If that goes ahead (thousands runners in close proximity), can't see why pubs shouldn't fully open by then. Lots of ifs and butts of course and nothing guaranteed. As always, do your own thinking. Or don't.

That's all we need.

A drunken virus on the rampage.

[dinvester] 11/5/2020 20:05

Germany slightly ahead of us on the lockdown eaze is now seeing a rise in the R.

South Korea is now re-shutting all bars and pubs as the R is shooting up again.

[dogwalker] 11/5/2020 14:12

What we need is the Govt to say 'Stay in the Pub', rather than 'alert'. It would be a small step but you have to do these things gradually.It would also bring clarity because everyone knows where the pub is but what does 'stay alert' mean? Especially after 3 or more pints of King Goblin?

[fenners66] 11/5/2020 13:42

A survey done and reported on Radio 4's You and Yours earlier said:

10% would go to the pub on the first day.
60% may consider it after 3 months
30% may consider it in a year or so.

I don't know if they were a sample of people who previously went to the pub.

Where’s that Kirk off Corrie

I have lost money and blame his advice!!

[skinny] 11/5/2020 12:48

I have friends who run a pub in Greenwich and have done for 20+ years - they are on the verge of basically handing the keys back - I suspect they are not alone!
