I walked into my local Wrightson store last week to purchase a small item. After several minutes when nobody had appeared  to serve me or take the slightest bit of interest in me or the other customer present  I left. This may answer your question.

WRI & BIL ugh!

 

Wrightson seems to have suffered both from the commodity down turn plus management cockups - heck I brought a few at 42c full of expecation but somehow I don't think a few lines of seed potatoes is going to do the trick. I also suspect the company has a service culture and is busy empathising and suffering with its clients - most of the employees probabbly have cuzzies on the land. I'm still in 'hold' mode but only just...

 

As for BIL I brought a few at 48 but with control going to Singapore and registation in tax a haven who who knows what asset stripping and skullduggery the new owners will get up to - havn't yet decided whether to take the notes....

 

Still there must be a bottom somewhere ....
