Exactly right. Thank you all for the advice, still haven't managed to access the online site or find my paperwork( bathroom is getting tiled and the house is in chaos) Tried phoning the helpline but need my shareholder reference (which is goodness only knows where) Will report back once I'm a bit more organised.

Real shame the same managers who are cutting staff numbers, and who clearly cannot understand why Lidl and Aldi are able to undercut them with significantly less buying power, plus removing many staff allowances and bonuses such as night time premiums etc, these are the same buffoons who through their almost laughable attempt at accounting which the city rumbled, and everyone lost faith with the company, all this managerial incompetence led to a share price fall from around 450p to 150p and has had a huge impact on the shop floor workers.

Now you have a character at the helm who says "Call me Dave" you cant write this stuff, and sends motivational emails out to staff like he's a mate, yet not many mates drew a salary of £4.6 million this year, not much cutting going on at the top, but then again Turkeys don't vote for Christmas.

You can keep an eye on the share price on several websites, eg https://www.google.co.uk/finance?q=LON%3ATSCO. It's currently 163p, so just multiply that by the number of shares you have.

They did stop their dividend this year but are forecast to resume next year; historically, they have paid around 15p a share but future dividends will depend on company performance. I mention the dividends in particular because you were interested in getting an income from your money and, with interest rates as they are, this could eventually pay more than most savings accounts.
