The week ahead: United Utilities and Thomas Cook

Those with an interest in the booze business will have a few to watch for next week, with Enterprise Inns (LSE: ETI) and Mitchells & Butlers (LSE: MAB) both bringing us full-year results on Tuesday.

M&B, after some time in the wilderness caused by its disastrous foray into the property business, is starting to look respectable again, and a reasonable performance is expected -- we should be seeing the first decent profit since 2006.
