[sharechat] Frucor - V in the UK

       Sarah corhhill  wrote that V was hard to find in the UK
and that tesco and BP were not able to recieve enough to satisfy demand.
 Question is, is the shortage due to
a) poor distribution
b) individual outlets not stocking it
c) Larger that expected demand
 
       If a dedicated V drinker like sarah has trouble locating
the drink then the chance of the locals acquiring a taste for the stuff
is diminished.
     Not much point of an expensive advertising campaign if the product
isnt in the shops.
     On the other hand if they are selling all they can make then
i guess that has to be good news.  The price of a can is much higher
than in NZ especially now the exchange gap is widening, any company
selling abroad has to be earning more that expected.
 
           As for frucor generally, im very happy to still be a shareholder.
 The product range is good and they seem to be doing a good job.
In NZ i particularly like the WAVE range of flavoed milk.
   V still looks to be very popular, at the company where i work the consumpion
seems higher than ever.  In the bin for used cans, V seems to outnumber coca cola.
           The shareprice is now fairly stable and is hovering around the price the company
originally intended to trade at, and looks very cheap for a growth company, especially one
earning foreign currency
