Hello. It's Tom. I recommended the hotel, it was a.
Tom. Everyone, shall we gather round and hear what Mr Socrates has to say, Please.
Hey errr, what's your name?
Paul.
Yeah you. Don't you think I should be sitting in the big chair?
Sorry. Yes of course. There you go.
Now. Tip Top Trading. I've gotta give it to you straight. Things ain't looking good, in fact the outlook is gloomy. The global recession has led to a meltdown in the plastic fruits sector. And I've got to announce a profit warning. We just ain't selling enough of these bananas, oranges and lemons to make any money.
There's a bit of an economic squeeze on lemons.
What?
Oh dear. I'm not sure what he's talking about but it sounds bad.
It is Anna. He's delivering some bad news without hiding the truth. That's why he said "I've got to give it to you straight". He said "the outlook is gloomy" which means the future doesn't look good. And he mentioned a "profit warning", which means company profits are probably going to go down.
Crikey. That is bad. What does it mean?
Just keep listening for now. |
