Reuters - UK Focus

** Wolseley (LSE: WOS.L - news) retreats from 7.5-yr highs after H1 results, in which plumbing supplies co says it sees FY in line, proves insufficient to justify a strong rally

** Shares (Berlin: DI6.BE - news) , down 2.9 pct, poised for biggest one-day drop since early Dec, easily top FTSE 100 fallers & most actively traded stock on index; shares up by almost a third in last 6 mths
