    Did he have an opinion on the accounting treatment of the P&L from the SLS and state owned assets generally. Given that was the subject of your OP you're remarkably reluctant to discuss it.

    Is it because you started a thread and don't really understand? You can tell us, we're all friends here.

    We appear to have a numpty who can only regurgitate out of context quotes he has found by trawling the internet

    He clearly has no idea what any of it actually means

    Have you entirely given up on your OP? You seem never to have referred to it again.

    You have actually managed to take you own thread completely off topic which is quite an achievement.
