Interest in this site so far is quite disappointing and even though it attracts an average of 18 visits every day, none of these visits are converted to registrations. By comparison the associated BT Pensioners site has around 30 registrations per month and has grown to over 2000 registered members. 

It is important to register to build a database that can then be searched to find old colleagues which is the primary function of the site. Registration is not intrusive and is completely Free. When you visit the site and don't register, please tell me why!  mailto:wm.rees@icloud.com

Terry Seddon: Following message received fro Phil Andrews via John Steel . You have already heard but Linda phoned last night to say that Terry had passed away on 15 September 2019. You know that he had Dementia, which apparently had got a lot worse. She seemed to think that the funeral might not be for five weeks. Anyway pass on the news and perhaps it can be put into the latest Cawpa news letter. See you in a months time. Best wishes Phil Andrews.

Update from  Linda Seddon <linda@seddon.com: Funeral is 1st November at Sherwood Forest crematorium, New Ollerton, at 12.30. And after at our home in Norton Disney. All are obviously very welcome . Some numbers would be welcome for catering purposes.

Cable & Wireless Communication shares up 21% on Liberty takeover talks
22 October 2015
From bbc.co.uk -  Business

Cable & Wireless Communication shares soared 21% after it confirmed it was in takeover talks with Virgin Media owner Liberty Global.


Liberty Global, which also has a 10% stake in UK TV company ITV, has not formally announced its offer and has until 19 November to decide if it will.


The deal would allow Liberty Global to expand its reach in the Caribbean where it lacks a mobile phone presence.


Cable & Wireless said the deal could be a combination of cash and shares.


Liberty Global, which is owned by billionaire John Malone, has a strong foothold in Latin America and growing presence in the Caribbean.


Last month Liberty abandoned talks with Vodafone about a swap of business assets in Europe's mobile phone, broadband and TV markets.


In November 2014, Cable & Wireless paid $1.85bn (£1.2bn) for Columbus International, a fibre-based telecommunications firm that Mr Malone owned a stake in.
The deal gave the Liberty Global owner a 13% voting stake in Cable & Wireless.


Liberty Global operates in Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean. In 2013 it bought Virgin Media expanding its presence in the UK.
