are you questioning the moderation process?

My toilet roll has AUP written all over it.

Sorry you are wrong; I'm with SF on this.

It's my job you see, as a credit analyst (I know - yawn!) which I've been doing in various forms since 1978.
there is no way under almost any defination that pilks can be called a british company any more than ford is british.
Yes its heritage/history was british until the shareholders sold it down the river but thats all.

To my fellow pedants, NSG owns "pilks" and has lost money every year since it bought the pilks plc mainly due the debt interest, but has finally effectively broken even this year. In NSG's its annual report, pilks doesn't even get a mention ; it is just part of "European Operations" which only makes up 41% of group sales. Its sad but true that pilks can only remotely be desribed as british.
The top UK group company didn't even pay corporation tax last year according to its last filed accounts- it got a £6.3M tax rebate!!

How about the 1873 Herman Stadium in recognition of the year of your formation and your founder?

It would need to be 'Herman the German' stadium, since that was the full title bestowed upon him by the locals.

Sounds like a plan ........

Hey, the world needs credit analysts. My brother is one. He gets paid a bloomin fortune! (Pays his taxes to the British government as well

)

NSG. That's the name of the Japanese company. Since they took over, a friend of mine working at the Latham plant has had to re-apply for his job on three occasions. Redundancies have been rife although thankfully a mini reinvestment has taken place with 100 new jobs being created although I doubt very much any of them actually went to local people.

Speaking of tax, I just had a pretty nice rebate

I had one of those just before Christmas. In fact, without it there would have been no Christmas!

Mine always arrive out of the blue. Did you know yours was imminent?

Yes, I have a very good but very expensive accountant who gives me very good advice on my tax



All legal I may add.

So you've been on the warrington exec board all this time?

Yes

Agent Pete.

I'd never have anything to do with that club, I hate them as much as the pies.

Hate is a horrible word my friend, please think before you use it.
It's something my dad always tried to drum into me (he had very good reason, but that's for another day), and I occasionally fail because I don't think about it before I type.

So you don't hate me Rogues? Aw, you've made me go all fuzzy inside.

I wonder why no club thought of naming rights to stadiums when they first shot up during the initial sporting boom of the late 19th Century. It was, after all, during the industrial revolution... but maybe back then less things could be rodgered up the bumhole with a banknote.

Easy! the same money was not spent then on marketing as it is now.

I really hope that the Stadium gets a really good name/sponsor to brand it and also really hope it is a long term deal with huge investment from it... Lets hope it brings a winning brand of Rugby League back home too!

Reckon we'll get £400m like City did?

Yeah but we'll get a bi=plane instead of a jet.

B&Q are looking at buying the naming rights, which is fantastic news and would be another fantastic brand to be backing the club.

I thought at the time it was "joked" that was who built the Halliwell Jones LOL!

No, that was an Ikea self assembly job.

From the Krappe range, I believe.

He he I like that.
