They are, and I don't buy pies.....

[Doctor Evil]

Little Middle England coming out now. I have never seen pies in all the shelves in Morrison's

[Pete C]

Intriguing, why not buy from the local butcher instead of Morrisons in the first place?

cheers, Pete.

[Gordon R]

So Johnny Foreigner just leaves his parked outside then?

[Doctor Evil]

That's what we do. Far cheaper and better quality than all the supermarkets. I only use supermarkets when pushed.

[Andy Hall]

Well, either you are blind or the stock profile in yours is very different, which I find hard to believe since it's a one size fits all operation.

I notice that Ken Morrison is now in serious trouble and the major shareholders have forced non exec directors onto the board.

This is generally a kiss of death to any business because it means that there is a lack of trust by the institutional shareholders and it is very rare that a bunch of non execs add any real value.

It's the institutional shareholders attempting to rescue something from a total disaster.

at this point it is highly likely that they will be acquired for a song or may eventually go broke. A disaster waiting to happen.

[Andy Hall]

Absolutely. I never had any intention of actually buying this from Morrisons - it was a way of trying out their claim. I was not in the least bit surprised that they failed.

The product from the butcher's was superb, BTW.

[Andy Hall]

What a crock of shit. Who's the "we"?

[Stuart Noble]

So he lives alone on pies then? Much as I appreciate the quality of your arguments on most subjects, there is an uncharitable streak.....

[Owain]

Parked on the opposite side of the Channel!

They don't like it up 'em Capt Mainwaring!

[Doctor Evil]

My God he thinks all the shelves of one of the country's biggest supermarkets is full of pies. No hope for you.

[Doctor Evil]

supermarkets.

Dagenham girl pipers.

[Andy Hall]

Me uncharitable?

I give hugely to HM Inland Revenue. It's the biggest charity I know.

[Andy Hall]

Now that I do believe.

[Stuart Noble]

Then you must earn hugely, and most of the people I know in that category do so by overcharging hugely (to offset their huge tax bills). I hate the word "huge". Seems to be a favourite with the BBC lately.

[Doctor Evil]

So, it's you who wants to eat all the pies then. There are no pies in Morrison's because you bunch have ate them all. Such greed.

[Doctor Evil]

They should tax you twice as much. Yes twice as much.

[Doctor Evil]

He eats huge pies too.

[Andy Hall]

Not especially; however the return on investment for my "donations" always seems very poor value for money.

[Andy Hall]

Nope. Not good for me....
