Impressive from the videos I looked at! The OD9 sounds crunchier than the TS9!

Agree with chelseablue. It might be a big deal to some people that are incapable of saving money for themselves.

But this is not a bonus or windfall. It is just a little bit more of the money that we should have been getting since April 2013.

It would have been nice to have been paid when the share were floated - now that would have made the money a nice 'multiplier'...

I suppose the pay rise is business and employment news in a climate where some workers have had the pay frozen for a number of years...

Yes, it will be spun one way or another and the CWU will also be involved :wink:

And that all you will hear from the customers for the next 2 weeks. And the other blue collar workers that we usually come across - bin men and builders spring to mind.

When we got the shares and I was feeling miserable and soaking wet and tired... You hear these folks say, cheer up mate, you are now in the money - all those shares... :roll:
