Re: DIRECTOR Why IHT free?I believe if gifted to a family member abd after a period of several years, then there is no IHT.

Re: DIRECTOR Great purchase. Sergi is of course getting on (70s?) and after a qualifying period these shares, like the other 80 million he has will be IHT free.A no brained if you have the funds, know the company, and received dividends far in excess of this amount over the past few years.Good for him, he is after all the architect of the resurgence of photo me.

Re: Interims - Dividend up 20% These results are outstanding!! Summarised by the statement:"The Group's performance for the first half was ahead of the Board expectations and the Board therefore now expects the Group's profits will significantly exceed current market expectations for the financial period ending 30 April 2017. The Board continues to be optimistic about the Group's future prospects"We couldn't have asked for better and, given the amount of surplus cash being generated, I expect that next year's full dividend will be supplemented with another significant special dividend I've just increased my holding to over six figures as I firmly believe that this is a stock that will just keep delivering - one to put away for the long term.P.S. I never expected that I would invest in a company that is expanding into launderettes!!

Asda Good deal I recon.those sites for little more than change. And that over a few years. With Sergi s skills I bet we will be earnings enhancing in 12 months. Won't dent our cash much that's for sure. Interested now to see how the market sees it. 10p up is my take, but don't hang your hat on that.

Touched down to 200 eda Below is a long term 5 year weekly chart and shows the 200 ema at 1.26 [link] stands out to me if this support breaks then the next levels are 1.20 from late 2014 and the breakout late 2013 at 1.10.I am still looking to average in by topping up at these levels if we see them.GLTA
