They held the q4 dividend in Euros. I had hoped for even a 1% token increase but (I'll check later) I think the Sterling amount for the quarter is the highest I will have received to date. It is clear that there are more pricing actions to come through and only slight margin recovery in 2023.
Best wishes

It is the highest quarterly amount (£) that I have had since I bought in Jan 2011.
Taking the year as a whole, 2020-2021 was slightly better (£).
So much is down to exchange rates. When the euro was launched in 1999, the rate was 1.42 to the £. It is now 1.13.
Strangely enough, I notice that press articles about the 'inevitable' collapse of the euro aren't too common these days.
