Gazz - I'm sure your figures are important to you - but to who else?

Seems some are awfully disappointed that UK isn't in recession, lol

No known connection to Mr Meerkat Comp. - but very pleased our competition has contributed to the same worthy cause (Prostate Cancer)

Leas -
I don't know - chicken n egg situation -

Are gaps created by accident, and the SP responds to fill the gap?
or
Are gaps created on purpose by those knowing full well the future SP?

I do know that it's rare for gaps 'not to get filled' at some stage

The gap exists, people see it, it will affect investment decisions, it will get filled, logic!

Grrr - gap up this AM

Mr Bailey - British banks are safe despite the recent turmoil in financial markets after Silicon Valley Bank's collapse in the US and Credit Suisse's rescue in Europe. He said: “We believe the UK banking system is resilient... and well placed to support the economy.”

F.i.cist

I imagine 'branches' will become little more than a couple/3x ATM booths plus 1x human - maybe in the corner of a coffee shop?

No longer need to interacted with human cashiers - new ATMs do everything I need

Question -
For personal reasons, a guy decides to make a change to his work pattern - new work pattern results in a 4% reduction in his income growth - How long will it take for the guy to accept what he chose to do

Despite transient polls and media mischief - I really can't see Starmer's Labour Party getting in next time

Sounds positive - sounds like Lloy has done enough
I'm an optimist, lol
