Try telling Tesco or Morrisons you want a cheaper price, because you shop there every week.

Edsah, did you get back to [business] who posted on your profile? I mentioned it to you before and did not hear back from you. Also I asked you a question about bidding before and did not hear back from you... How is your communication with the people that you want to work with?

Vast majority of guys I speak to have been quiet for 6 weeks. I have been quiet even longer. All a bit strange.

It does seem to be a fairly quiet period at the mo, it's probably the calm before the storm when it'll go nuts in the weeks up to Crimbo (he says with an air of optimism) ;-)

All joking aside I have just gone back over the numbers 2009 and 2010 Oct were very poor for us . This Oct is on par with those two years so I myself am at a loss to undersatnd what is going on out there . All of your are saying the same so Im not that worried as everybody else is saying the same. The upside the rest of the year has been fairly good for us but sadly the last quater of the year boo
