Checked on my lettings agent again on RM for this month. They've only let a single property so far! Mental. They've gone from letting out dozens of properties each month fucking over every occupant £400.  Easy £10-£20k a month down for printing off a form down to £400. Ha! Vermin. Here's hoping next month they are down to 0.

Just checked where i used to rent normally not many apartments for sale and not many to rent either as they got snapped up pretty quick rent wise anyway

Now 1 available to rent , 13 for sale the average price of a 2 bed flat used to be around £225,000 currently they are ranging between £185,000 - £220,00

Also the local estate agent is closed down and their website says they no longer let or sell properties but now specialise in property management only

One of the big 4 accountants.

There a stupid story in the FT

KPMG UK staff told to hand back work mobile phones

https://www.ft.com/content/ae2d4f70-e142-11e9-b112-9624ec9edc59

If employees need a work mobile phone, give them one - they only cost ~30/m for a top end one.

As a cost savings measures its fucking gormless.

Lots of slagging off in the comments - accountants are shit, useless.

I had filed this one of the constant paces that te FT publish to do with accountants n law groups - stupid, inefficient orgs that are useless, just pay for a lot of ads, so their poof piece/look at us! PR pieces get published.

https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/teesside-news/gutwrenching-how-dream-sirius-minerals-16988585

Pat Earnshaw ploughed all his cash into the world's largest fertiliser mine - and watched his holding soar by as much as £2,000 some days.

But the "Sirius dream" quickly turned into a "gut-wrenching" nightmare for him and thousands of other small-time investors.

Half a dozen of his own close friends have also invested £20,000 each. 

"It's gut-wrenching, seeing your holding drop and drop," he says.

"I'm on the forums all day, every day.

"I watch the share price all the time, but sometimes you don't want to chance it.

"You don't want to see that paper loss."

2nd bold, thats your problem, idiot.

Pat sank a small pension into Sirius Minerals stock in 2016, also using £40,000 of his own money.

He was recently divorced and invested some of the resulting cash into the project thinking "eventually, one day I'll get back on my feet."

All told, he put in £65,000.

"Some days it was going up 5p," he says.

"At that point, every penny it went up I was seeing my holding increase by £400.

"You think 'God this is great'.

One investor Pat knows from a WhatsApp group is in "dire straits", he adds.

"I don't know him personally but he invested £21,000 and he doesn't have anything apart from that.

"He actually borrowed money to plough in.

"Sirius sold us the dream and we've all invested, along with 85,000 others.

"I've had sleepless nights in the past but we've all sort of got used to it.

"It's out of our hands now.

It is up 50% today.  I think there's speculation that the 'great infrastructure plan' to be announced later today will include money for SXX.

I don't think they've got long enough to wait for the money to come.  Which it won't anyway.

Fashion retailer Forever 21 has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the US.

The company said it plans to "exit most international locations in Asia and Europe" but would continue to operate in Mexico and Latin America.

It expects to close up to 350 stores worldwide, a spokesperson said, including as many as 178 US stores.

In a release to the London Stock Exchange, Burford said a “forensic examination” of trading data from August 6 and 7 — the day Muddy tweeted it would be taking a new short position and the day it released its report on Burford — had revealed “trading activity consistent with material illegal activity”.

How about a forensic analysis of Burfords claims and accounts?

You sound like one of the idiots who live on the sirius BBs.

Steel is not really strategic, theres lot of it around.

And the military that uses a lot of steel - big boats and tanks - are pretty useless against missiles.

To be clear, Potash is not strategic. If it was Boulby would have had some investment inthe last 30 odd years. And they have moved the railway line away from Hunts cliff.

You mean a Waitrose & Partners. On the scale of pointless rebrandings, that has to come top.

For that reason alone he should go. What a colossal waste of money.

Ah yes.

When you have not got a fuckign clue what to do - rebrand.

I sat thru a 6 month process of a v large US company rebranding.

$200m got them a slightly different shade of blue and a slight lowering of the 'e'.

Rebrands are a PITA, and done by people with no concept of reality.

I work with most of the major car marques and have to follow their brand guidelines.

Some twat with an o level in graphic design decides that cmyk is boring and goes for five spot colours, solid reverse and spot UV varnish.

A box of business cards now goes from £17 to £90 for every salesman. In the world.

Not many steel works though. If we need to build or recommission in the event of a conventional war, say to repel a Franco German invasion, then the time needed to do so could seriously impact our defence capability.
