Interestingly (or not…) Coca Cola ooerated in India from 1950, but withdrew in 1977 partly because people remained loyal to the home brand Thums Up (and other reasons) - when I was travelling in India in 1982, Thums Up was the drink of choice, and actually nicer than Coke, especially when ice cold… In 1997 they returned to India in order to rival Pepsi, and acquired Thums Up, keeping the brand and recipe. Controversy followed as the amount of groundwater extracted to produce the Coke was causing well levels to drop so low that many villages lost their water supply completely… [Link]

Is it? Hmm.

Is there going to be a problem with stewards on entering the ground if we have plastic bottles of water

As it is now a Democratic Republic pretty sure Heineken don’t own most of it - it ws basically to fund a bottling plant for CocaCola

Trigger - you have spent ages claiming (pointing out?) that those who run the club are neither trustworthy or sensible so someone having those qualities should be celebrated by you.

Heineken own most of Zaire?

The %1.7m bond redemption figure is also from a survey, so may be a lot higher (or lower) as bond-holders won't have committed yet

Keefy - read back a few hours to understand Ferret's very relevant post. Actually doubly relevant. :o)

Yes?
