@Warrigals,
Of course, one needs to include brickbats alongside bouquets and the one thing that I didn't like in the result was the change of depreciation policy that took effect in the September half.
This bit of subtle accounting alchemy accounted for some 2% of the EBIT growth in the half.
Still, for me it doesn't detract from the resilience of the business during once-a-generation competitive pressures.
(And if the shorters are reluctant to grant my wish of a lower share price, a little event in the USA looks like it has done so.)
