Robert Sutherland Smith is again proving that he is still alive with another guest post. Robert started his City career the year before I was born and is, I think, 157 years old. Fear not. He is very much alive and kicking. He and I have worked together for almost eight years at t1ps.com . He is my friend and he is a very funny and intelligent chap. He is now branching out to celebrate his 158th by doing some freelance writing over at various places ( including Shareprophets.com naturally) on FTSE 350 Income stocks. Robert is a speaker at the UKInvestor Show on April 5th 2014. He is a great one for focussing on yield. RSS today looks at Greggs. RSS writes:
There is something comforting about Greggs (GRG) the Newcastle based convenience food company; as reassuring as Geordies cheerfully tucking into sausage rolls, whilst sitting astride a cask of Newcastle Brown to the sound of a brass band playing “Pick ya feet up Geordie Hinnie” – and what is wrong with than man, do I hear you ask?
The sight of a Gregg’s shop on some British High Street somewhere across the land, is as reliable a token of our national identity as – at the other end of the economic and social scale – champagne and hats on Ladies Day at Ascot. And in my book a Gregg’s sausage roll and a cuppa wins my affections every time.
So it is sad to see that Gregg’s is having a torrid time on the stock exchange
