    This one is giving me "paws" for thought. I suggest the team take a break from the mushing and just sit around and eat some dog biscuts. Might be a long journey with this one...might need a lot of patience. While we're waiting we could see how our mates are getting on https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7504726/

    I remember reading that book as a young pup at school...really enjoyed it and the movie is great too.

    To be honest I actually thought the trading update was very good. Company is cautious on the outlook which seems quite a prudent approach to me.
    Even if their online system needs some serious work the company seems to be doing okay to me. The thing with cheapish dog's...they have potential !
    There's... that's a reasonable and accurate statement that will keep the team happy for a while

    You can't really except five star treatment from a discount retailer. I'm happy paying low prices and being able to see the items in store.

    Obviously the shortfalls should be fixed, within reason, and hopefully there is a more useful online aspect saying that. Though it's mostly been fine for me.

    Ah.. thanks chief ... I'll take it back to the guys. I'm reminded of an old adage about deceased horses and flogging that maybe also could be applied to dogs (companies not beagles). I'm thinking with this company that it might not be so much a race between dog sleds as a race between dividend payments and capital depreciation. Still, we need as you say to stay positive. This sled is not pulling itself!

    I consulted with the other dog sled team leader and Buck reckons we're still on the right track. He reckons all dog sled team members need to buck up their attitude, nothing any good was ever achieved without a bit of tenacity. https://www.imdb.com/video/vi2649454...tt_pv_vi_aiv_1
    He also said to stay close, Dog's aren't called man's best friend without very good reasons
