That’s the day I started work……in 1977!
4th July election
Looks like news on GE about to be announced, suggesting 4th July. Get it done.
Looks likely 4th of July election .Postal votes likely to be sent out mid June iff 4th /7 is confirmed .And revenue will be sweet ?But will D K be banking the £
Thanks Broch.......I'll bear it in mind. It hasn't been confirmed yet anyway and no dates are set.....so I might be able to vote in the most one sided election in my lifetime after all.
Fantasy Shark,
Here you go love.
Even you should be able to vote.
Remember every little helps RMs coffers.

Who cares waist of time voting for any of them all 3 of the main party’s are shambolic
Sorry ive only been near my phone today been busy. If its on the news channels it has to be true
Knoydarts - It depends when's the ballot papers are issued etc.....I've never voted from abroad before but I'm sure there are work arounds......it will need to be confirmed to be in July first of course....
Not that I think my vote will count anyway as I think Labour are a shoe in in this election.
Great revenue from general elections .Vote by post increase revenue .And iff out the country' your vote will count £
Oli- I didn't read that article, it was mentioned by someone in the office this morning although he did say losses were mainly early on, so possibly same source. There's been so much cost cutting this year mainly from reduction in overtime, less sick pay and new contracts that it's only going one way. Another cull on the coms is due as lots of office's being run by phg's now.
LittleDickyBird - The rumours are mounting.....
Several cabinet ministers have been summoned from their expected duties today to a cabinet meeting.....so it is possible.
They do need to get on with it....delaying the inevitable is folly. If It is in July however I won't be voting as I won't be in the country, Lol.
Its been all over then news my friend since late morning 😆
A friend who is in the know in the higher parts of the Conservative party is telling an election to be called announced by Friday lastest.
Rural, there was an article by Proactive Investor this week that reckoned RMs losses would be £319m for the year however the majority (over £200m) was attributed to Q1 and Q2 so presumably losses have been stemmed?
I would expect that GLS would have made a profit of around £350 so perhaps a small group profit for 23/24?
Agreed on both points
Nice Carrington, best of luck with the rest of your holding…..
I don’t think we’ll learn too much tomorrow. I expect Royal Mail’s losses to be countered by GLS’s profit (we can assume a reasonable profit for GLS based on the fact there is a 2 pence dividend)
….and the rest will be lots of pleading to OFCOM and the government to amend the USO and lots of finger pointing as to why foreign investors have come in to mop up the company. Lol.
Decided to sell another 25pct this afernoon at 326p - a 49pct overall profit - the remainding 50pct of my holding I am going to leave and see where it goes - if it falls substantially tomorrow I will buy todays sell back, if it rises then great, more profit down the pipe - gla
dyor etc
LittleDickyBird - Yes, it looks like general consensus this morning is that rates will be left for a bit longer yet….but I think the voting committee in the BoE will start to split and it’s only a matter of time until rates start to be cut.
It was always going to be H2 24 when the rates started to reduce so we’re edging closer everyday.
Red i see what you mean (wallet) I won't be going in to buy at I d s again. Hit the buy in error sorry for that 👍
Liam Halligan has predicted interest rates will stay the same until August.
Knoy, OK to have a chuckle as long as your wallet stays in the pocket😉
Knoy, Wait until tomorrow for the results to be published.
Hearsay is not worth reading.
319 million noh bad thats less than 1 million a day'Did you here what G L S made 😆
