I recall that. Yes, the great glen is where the two bumped together and isn’t that that’s how Nessie got trapped? I’m quite happy if England extends up to Inverness if digesting that stops us arguing about the small rock we all live on! Anyway. Wassapening on the divi front?

Why bother responding. Whenever somebody from the other country (assumption of location) talks detail about Scotland they invariably get it wrong.
Many millions of years ago, there was a vast ocean between England and Scotland but tectonic plate movement made us neighbours. When you look at the map, Scotland looks faintly like Santa with a sack of pressies on his back. England has been thinking that these are their presents ever since :-)
Asperger, most Of Scotland is definitely not on the highest tier, a vast area including the Scottish Borders, Dumfries and Galloway and the Highlands and island are on Teir 1 which is next to 0, the lowest. All areas that were on teir 4 are now on teir 3, many areas including East Lothian are on teir 2. Scotland has been relatively successful in their measures, Edinburgh is hoping to be in teir 2 soon.
Scotland’s teir system ranges from 0 being the lowest to 5 being the highest. Please change your post to the more accurate data.

This weeks observation -Market impacted by prospect of 'No Deal' Brexit, Sunday crunch day for EU trade deal !!! UK first country in world to Vaccinate, PRA lift divi ban but impose restrictions, England under '3 tier' system, Most of Scotland under highest of their '5 tier' restrictions, Whole of Wales moving to Scottish level 4 following 'firebreak' fail.
A very basic comparison that does no include divi yield, IMO those still suggesting Lloy is 'the worst share ever' or a 'dire share' seriously need to examine their concept of investing.

Governor Andrew Bailey wants to establish a situation in which banks take their own decisions to scrap dividends during economic downturns
DYOR
Hollybean - I think it's well past time for the PRA to take it's knee off of the necks of the banks, I guess they are now waiting on both EU deal and lockdown news ?
On a personal basis, my bread & water policy has paid off, survived the summer months without my divi income and without having to sell any of my Lloy holding, and with the wife's alternate income stream starting next week I'm very fortunately to be ok for Xmas and after.
Asp1 do you still hold the same view about pra or have you earned enough to buy xmas dinner ,best wishes.

''Mr sunak will be at the helm this time next year.''
One for the notebook
Apparently the Bumbler cant manage on a PMS salary.Too many ex wives and ruggies to pay for.Mr sunak will be at the helm this time next year.
Leas -
For some reason people like to Bash Lloy - my fantasy portfolio only had to show Lloy was no worse than others to make my point - I don't know why Lloy's P/E always seems low compared to other companies, but it is - for me its all about divi income, and pre covid returns were market leading, I trust they will return in the new year
Leas
I don't follow you in particular, I follow what people say.
Good luck investing some more cash. I'm sure there are some very safe investments where you can get a better return than close to zero with cash
LTI, flattered that you follow me. My strategy has been to drop money in that markets as major uncertainties are illuminated one by one. Hence not going all in.
Not a ramper or otherwise. I post my views as I see them. Not bullish here by any stretch of the imagination but was responding to aspers selective posting in comparisons.
L
As I said, VERY lucky.
Going from being negative on LLoyds at 26p, to then buying them at under 28p all because the US election was over.
You could say I’m lucky but I could have been luckier and invested the 80% cash I have left from my dealing account.
L
That where it doesn't make sense. The US election result was not a basis on which to invest.
BP and Lloyds and many others have spiked up purely on the vaccine news, so you could say that you were very lucky that the vaccine news coincidentally came out after the US election.
I bought BP and LLOY last Thursday as any credible challenge of the US election subsided. I’m still mainly in cash and will cover any changing fundamentals as this current year progresses. News on a vaccine was coincidental and likely to be more news anytime now on other drugs. The Oxford vaccine is probably going to be better than the PfizerBio one with some commenting on it’s easier delivery but only time will tell.
avocet, despite the outcome of the negotiations it cannot be worse than the path we were going down with Theresa May..

'' I traded DTG. I didn’t say I am still invested''
You've lost me , I haven't mentioned DTG.
I posted about Lloyds, and that you must have changed your position because of the vaccine news
Johnson and the UK cannot afford a no deal. A deal will be made. It will be in the eu's favour but it will be sold here as a victory.
LTI
Save you the trouble of reading my posts but I traded DTG. I didn’t say I am still invested. I was making the point that we can all be selective. I made my loss back on that trade.
I have been entirely in cash for several months.
lti i think we can take it as read now that there will be no deal ,with the threat/blackmail attempt by barnier to disrupt access to electric supplies, no english pm can cave to blackmail so i would assume no deal and wto rules has been rubber stamped and that why dc has left his job has been done
Leas
I suppose the good news on the vaccine front would have brought forward the spending of some of your cash, as it must of with many others, hence the good spike up
