Still not sure someone would want to buy out CC, the split between Medical and Veterinary doesn't help.
For Instance I could see IDEXX buying it, but what would they do with the Medical sales side? Also would IDEXX be happy if another took it over? ROCHE were back in the frame a year or so back, but I'm not sure if Alfred Marek and staff would want to go back to being a forgotten division of a behemoth like ROCHE, having had a dynamic turnaround since Osmetech took over.
The BGA market is a mature market and Osmetech are taking more of that market at the moment, but growth has definitely been driven by IDEXX, so not sure where it all comes together.

So not quite as you potray above (and before you say it ditchpig can check and see if it has been edited)and I am still not sure what IDEXX will do with the Medical side.

As for 22-27p I have no concerns about that, it is my guess on the range we may see for a while for some consolidation before more news takes us on our way.

Anyway you are boring me and obviously we are boring everyone else, so I can't be bothered to bicker with you anymore, but I will still be posting here.

Let's see if you can leave it as well?
