I'd go so far as to say equity release is an abomination. Charging 4.4% on a 100k rekease will amount to 240k 20 years later. So you've left most of your house to a bank rather than loved ones. I'm sure government is for this kind of stupidity though.

ERV I said to Mrs Boomer exactly the same when I saw an ER ad. It's the next big scandal. Banks shouldnt be there to steal ppls inheritance. Sadly other mortgage markets are saturated so they are chasing fat margin here.

Correct erv. The moderation is rather arbitrary and moronic. Lloyd's buidnrss is 2/3 degrees of separation from just about all these topics and anyway I'm interested in what ppl have to say on matters. This is like a pub where the theme is Lloyd's but topics related to lloyds and that affect the sp discussed too. If everything has to be directly related there ain't much to say it becomes like the PAG chat boards frankly. Lloyd's is a fairly dull retail modern day version of a 3 6 3 bank there ain't that much to say other than speculation on the final ppi bill.

And what's happened to Lloyd's earnings since the referendum you ********* bumbleb? Steadily up. So something is amiss ain't it. Either the price was wrong in 16 or its wrong now. Go figure?

Eccles you are talking out of your backside. Our net contribution was around a billion a month in 2017.

How much have we paid in the pot so far snige? We don't seem to have accumulated any assets? Some club. Looks like flushing money down the do dah.

Membership working so well for everyone snige, what is unemployment in France, Italy and Spain?

Saga once out I think history will judge outsourcing trade policy to a foreign power as akin to madness. I mean by this reckoning Canada should immediately surrender control of trade, borders etc to Trump. They don't because they aren't half baked globalists (well Trudeau is) who think drinking a flat white is a sign of massive sophistication.

Snige if this is the cost and you are clearly easily fooled why is germany and countries not leaving growth as bad if not worse? 55bn is clearly a totally bs figure makes the 350m a week look positively factual!

Very disappointed in Johnson who is showing himself to be a fool. Silly speech on Africa. Still not investing in coal power there when it could save hundreds of thousands of lives every year. Cruel human sacrifice to co2 god. China can double it's emmisions till 2040 that's just fine. Sheer nonsense.

The irony with pat he's sat on a gold plated pension yet willing the country to fail. Bizarre.

Pat what's unemployment looking like in the eurozone?

Crickey you have real projection issues. I'm long on Barcelona having bought a slug load at 140. Ppl can see my posts on Barc.

What a sad sad sad man. Other IDs deleted clearly.

Snige have you changed your incontinence pants today? You stink!

Lti you are hilarious.

And pat it ain't fair calling me tight or not being aware of some of the volunteering I do. I'm delighted you are choosing to give to this charity, it's your choice but please don't assume because I'm not joining in that I don't do any charitable giving. You couldn't be more wrong there. I just like to see where my money is going. I'm not knocking the competition either which I'm sure is for a fine cause.

Pat I donate to my local hospice several 100 a month. That's a local charity and where I stick my cash. Don't give to corporate charity.

Why are you posting Greta? The science is so strong they need to use a child?? I well remember Eistein, Newton and Darwin using young children to promote their scientific theories.

Germany only grew 0.6% last year. They are paying a heavy price for their decision to leave the EU too.
