Re: Results

Some interesting developments, such as only pub in the new Terminal 2 at Heathrow will be run by Fuller's (and called "London's Pride"!!). They have also acquired a small Cornish premium cider maker. Dividend up by 10% (analysts were [more]

Re: London-ish Pride

Hi Leither,

I think you can take it for now (however long that lasts in this fast changing world!) that Fuller's are committed to London, if only for historical and cultural reasons. If you look at the new design of London Pride bottles you [more]

Re: What would the panel say?

Dear Milsonman,

You are VERY well versed in French and French culture.
I'm not sure whether I have said before that I went to school in France and am a fluent French speaker. If not, time to own up!

Re: PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

Hi Breelander,

I had hoped that 2010 'fiasco' was now sorted, but I am not too worried, because a lot of that legalese could be used in recent years to describe either BP or Shell, yet both of these should be core holdings for most investors [more]

Re: Interesting London factor retail data

Hi Milsonman
I think it's all looking good for FSTA, apart maybe from the weather. Though I have to question how much LESS beer people drink purely because of the weather.

Re: Marstons hit by bad weather 16.05.13

Yes I saw that Milsonman. But Marston shares only went down by 2p. It will be interesting to see FSTA results: should be better thanks to "good mix/spread" of the estate, mainly in the South East?

Re: Holding of FSTA

Milsonman
I do what you do with the Foreign & Colonial Investment Trust - it is brilliant.

With FSTA I simply hold my original holding since 1985.

Re: Pubonomics

I have not checked your figures, but I would not quibble. Pubs ARE hard work but a few years back, Japanese banks (and many others!!) thought that these were assets whose value would never stop rising...
