'Freedom for us means foreigners out]' he thundered.'Prosperity for us means foreigners out] Germany for the Germans means foreigners out]' The words, spat out at a furious tempo and accompanied by wild gesticulation, were greeted by loud cheers and the thumping of beer mugs on tables by the 100 or so Iron Cross-bearing, right-wing extremists gathered in the small east German town of Aschersleben at the weekend for one of their increasingly regular get- togethers.With nightly attacks against foreigners' hostels continuing, the meeting was euphoric. Sales increased 5 per cent to pounds 11.1m.It was the first profit setback for Eric Walters since taking over as chairman in 1986, but he said a backlog of orders would make for a better second half.Molynx's environmental management division, which controls buildings' temperature and electrics, suffered as cash-strapped property companies cut back.While exports are improving, Mr Walters does not expect recovery in the UK property market until the end of 1993.The house broker, Panmure Gordon, is forecasting pounds 1m for the year The interim dividend is held at 1.3p..

Years ago, posters used to go up next to cricket grounds saying things like: 'England v Australia, 2nd Test, Lord's, June 17-21.'
