That is already the case.

I think you know what I am referring to the uk can trade with the US the UK can trade with China what the US and China wish to wrt each other is up to them personally I feel it will be resolved.

Should open discussions with the US and China wrt to forming an FTA- now

The weasel Carney said somewhat obtusely that the banks had been stress tested to withstand the "no deal" scenario with an "extreme" event of a 35% decline in house prices. This of course has never happened nor is it likely to but as Carney meant it to be, it was twisted by the financial press into "Carney says house prices will fall by 35% in the event of a no deal". There will be no run on Pound on Brexit. This, however, cannot be said in the event Corbyn and his Marxist thugs somehow manage to get into Number 10.

and its Option expiration today

There is no reason for this. Its not A Brexit stock its pure manipulation. Its one of the most manipulated FYSE stocks at the moment. Piddly little trades day in day out.

TM has said it. not far off "Up your Delors"

by the EU. The time has come to to make them appreciate that its better to have little bit of something than something of nothing. Their cavalier attitude to democracy and its processes if it happens to differ from their vision of a Federalist Superstate is scary and arrogant. Their obstinacy and intransigience demonstrates graphically that EU political "elite" are terrified at the prospect of us leaving and becoming a beacon for true freedom and commercial success illustrating that there is an alternative to subservience and centralised control. Maybe TM has given it her best shot to secure what she, as a Remainer but duty bound, believes to be best way forward and the time has come for a change of tactics and bringing on a substitute to that end. Markets still seem pretty sanguine and Sterling seems stable enough despite all the hyperventilating of the media. We are not stepping into the unknown - WTO rules are well understood by the rest of the world and provide a platform from which to strike future trade deals. The French are already worried that we drinking less champagne and Italians are moaning that prosecco sales are falling fast. Sales of English bubbly are rising and we have just had a monster vintage. The Europeans are blaming Brexit. It seems to me that if the EU continues with its hardball approach, this recent trend is unlikely to reverse any time soon as Sterling's value against the Euro, in addition to tariffs will make English bubbly competitive on taste AND price with the best that EU can offer. happy days!

manipulation with pathetic piddly little Autotrades. Board rules prevent me from me stating what they are.

Its amazing really that despite the constant barrage of media negativity and whingeing by high profile celebrity "entrepreneurs" and corporations about the catastrophic effects of Brexit us ordinary folks are still going out and spending our hard earned dosh. That said I am sure this will not have gone unnoticed to the kill joys at the BOE and Treasury. Brace yourselves for another round of Project Fear.

trade surplus increases on exports. enough sid

Not wishing to join the ranks of serial posters, :) Does the EU really want to fight a trade war on two fronts? The Donald and us? History suggests that did not work out too well for Germany last time.

We all know that the Irish Border issue was hammed up by the Remainers and their EU masters. When It became clear that the UK was prepared to go without a "deal" and thus go with WTO and that there wa areal likelihood that TM may well fall and open the door for BJ or RM the Irish conundrum suddenly became less of a stumbling block. Why? Everything has barcodes so products can be scanned before they are exported at their point of origin effectively doing the customs check at the point of origin. Come on this is nothing new and is already done widely. So hey presto stumping block removed. Point is there never really was one. Immigration, no doubt will find similar piece of common ground acceptable to both camps. The media will continue to spin and spin and the BBC will be relentlessly scorning any progress towards a solution. Keep watching the Euro/Sterling cross rate and only listen to Radio 1. Come on Lloyds lets see 66p today! lol

This afternoon? When TM comes out of the meeting holding a piece of paper and starts" We have had a very positive, constructive meeting and.... wasn't it almost 80 years ago? lol

not before time! Still bit worried about the volume atm. Would like to see some decent volume to be sure those that are playing the short side have thrown in the towel. At these valuations the sector is a no brainer but then of course we know that and we have been saying that over the last three months. fingers crossed TM can come up with some positive progress in Salzburg which may just be enough to get sentiment to turn.gl

sorry handelsbank

having been caught laundering $240bn through `Estonia i don't think Brussels should worry overly about our ethical banking standards. One less thing to agonise over in Salzburg. lol

Intersting to see Mr Blobby is working on his credit score with St Peter.

Is that lecture replacing: "How too convince financial markets a company is buying back its own stock while in essence its issuing more?" Just curious as was hoping to learn something.

yep plastics. no shortage of that.
