Biggest thread de-rail ever!

I'm still hungover as well

law? i am the law!

You should give yourself a warning for this thread.

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.

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

All legal I may add.
