Transferring such a large business was not going to be easy - especially one billion pounds worth.

Yes there are a few shocks - but with daily ordering these shocks are readily sorted out.

James is right there are no Charges of any nature and from my forensic examination the Cost of Goods is in general cheaper than Nisa. Can't understand why University of York went to Nisa because of Charges - of which there is none.The Profitability alone from Fags and Booze is worth this initial disruption due to the lack of availability of slower moving goods such as Vanilla Essence as an example.

My enquiries are that both Costcutter and P&H are working their socks off to get things right and in consequence nobody should be making a Knee-jerk reaction or getting teasy and worked up.

The short Haul will be worth it.
