I'm not going to get into that discussion.
That to which I referred was almost two decades after Busby!

Little bit of politics...
It was thanks to the Tories doing another instance of nicking the family
silver and then selling it back to them in the eighties.
The infrastructure before the mid eighties had been bought and paid for
by the populous, not by shareholders or corporate investment.
Now BT has the advantage of the legacy infrastructure to command a big
chunk of the market.
Ask me again in a few years when the postal service has gone the same way.
It seems they love the idea of making Joe Public feel great about
himself because he was able to buy a few shares in what already belonged
to him, knowing that as soon as the price goes up a few percentage
points from the artificially low issue price he will run and sell back
to the share-owning chinless wonders who came up with the scheme.
They all laugh up their sleeves at this scheme, which works again and again.
