So I think to myself contact Co-ops and make them aware of what I've available. No real interest. Answer I get is send it into us and we'll sell it for you. Now I'm not a merchant and into organizing transport etc. so why so little interest?? Answers on a postage stamp........!! Btw on a bit early here but an hour ahead.

Timmaay wrote: » I'd say its delay tactics, next month they'll be gloating about rising it from 35 to 36! No way they could keep it at 35,and be at least 2cent off kerry etc. Or could they... Fully agreed that something needs to be done to put them under pressure to increase it, the obvious suggestion would go ask your IFA rep to help lobby for an increase... Oh wait, they think its good as is!
