Time To Buy !

Doom and gloom for pubs in uk? Never. Brits' propensity to get totally sozzled will never die. Tenner a pint coming. Or peace deal in ukraine.

Yes, not all of it is fixed either (but their gas is).

I was digging through old articles and found one from This os Money updated on 17 August 2014.

Ralph Findlay - Marstons:

My F-Plan* to save the Great BRitish pub...That's females, family, food and forty to 50-somethings.


Great idea Ralph. Your shareprice is 36.8p your share price then was 144p.
Great job, but you aren't missed.

Hear, hear :-

Is my glass half full or half empty

Half empty at moment I guess

Will sit back now and await the turnaround

I have to believe but these markets not helping

[talk2dubya] 26/8/2022 10:28

Well obviously they have assets.

[diku] 26/8/2022 10:23

2bln???...market cap 234mln...

[talk2dubya] 26/8/2022 08:52

Recall reading it was closer to 2bn, but a lot of that is not fixed.

They are paying an awful lot on interest payments, I just don’t see given the fact that most peoples disposable incomes have just gone up in smoke, how the share price can be justified.

So gone short, if I am wrong you all you longs can have a good laugh at my expense.

[onjohn] 26/8/2022 08:16

Is debt still 4 billion

[talk2dubya] 26/8/2022 08:15

Gone short here

[tim 3] 25/8/2022 21:34

Sadly that's very true.When the company I work for allowed staff to carry their phones while working productivity dived.

[diku] 25/8/2022 20:38

Once upon a time many moons ago people put in a proper day's work that was before the era of mobile phones...not any more...today people look at their mobile phones at every opportunity even during working hours...

Not being able to get staff at a decent price causes some pubs to close early.
Youngsters refuse to waitress and clean tables for £12 per hour.
How else would they have the time to check their smartphones all day?

[talk2dubya] 25/8/2022 13:42

Oil and gas price does not discriminate. Interesting when you look at where most of their pubs are located, they are outside of the South East and London where wages are higher.

[careful] 25/8/2022 13:06

The gas and energy problem could go away quickly.
The World is awash with gas and oil.

Many counties want to pump their gas and oil there is lots of it.
The price of oil went to zero just 2-3 years ago.
And gas was dirt cheap, Shel were losing billions.

Russias gas will flow because it is crazy and sell defeating to ban it.
My guess much quicker than we think.

I have significant holding in MARS.
My worry is that the cult of the British pub is in decline.

It seems odd now that the popular soaps, Coronation Street, East Enders and Emmerdale were centred around the community pubs, The Queen Vic, Rovers Return and Woolpack.

An age gone by, never to return.

[talk2dubya] 25/8/2022 12:46

It’s a good paper.

[fenners66] 25/8/2022 12:35

Article in the DM yesterday (scaremongering , it is a newspaper?) said without a bailout 70% of pubs would shut this winter....

[talk2dubya] 25/8/2022 12:28

Suspect it will be bust - why not just preserve capital and wait for better opportunities ?

[jubberjim] 25/8/2022 12:15

Doubled up here and jdw added ,mab and CPC

Sh t or bust I m afraid

My old mum always said drink would be my downfall she never mentioned brewers

Good luck all
