1. British Aerospace. We are not going to stop spnding on the tools of war anytime soon.
2. Novartis. Neither are we going to stop spending on increasingly expensive drugs.
3.  EDF. We still need to keep warm and by increasingly nuclear means.

my comapny might survive without any handouts from the government.....but then if i wanted any help from them i doubt they would open the cheque book for a small business, i don't generate enough tax on an individual basis for them to be interested  >:(

Small businesses are really going to suffer as a result of this, if i can pull my company through this then i will be lucky, happy and most likely working in an industry that is very different.

I don't know about Tesco as like all retailers they are in the same boat.

Tonight their shares stand at:

All data delayed by at least 15 minutes | as at 22:28

TSCO TESCO  GBX 347.00 -19.60  -5.35  


which reflects a similiar picture to others ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)
