Yes, but this one has a much more appropriate title.Quote:

In his half-year report for Viking Capital on 4 Dec., Brent King noted the poor performance of DPC, in which VIK has a significant stake. "The recently announced mediocre result was the worst return on shareholders' funds for a half year in Dorchester's history," said BK. "The company is clearly underperforming . . ."
Meanwhile, in its first three months VIK achieved a return on sh'rs funds of 11.4%, due mainly I suppose to the sale of its 42B shares, more than compensating for DPC's poor effort.
At the last agm the new board and management had a lot to say about a "new era", "new vision" blah blah blah, and introduced the new logo with much fanfare.
But here's a funny thing. They made much of dumping the Olde English D emblem and replacing it with a new-look d. Somebody commented from the floor that the new d points backwards - fair comment I thought. Now, in a book of sterling silver hallmarks I've found the identical d, used to identify silver objects made in York in 1815!!. [B)]
