We would love to hear your thoughts about our site and services, please take our survey here.
I agree theosus UK is the best place to live. Bring some things back to produce 'in house'. Support weaker economies to expand, ditch China - and accept their monetary policies and subsidies have stolen work from many countries world wide.
Get the right environmental policies in place and police them better than we do now. Give contracts to other countries linked to environmental standards. Accept we may have to pay a little more for goods, home produced as well as imported. Educate and police, educate and police, edu - won't go on! (however how do you educate the Americans!! beyond hope, or is that just one of them?) Take care and good luck working out the best way to make money from Lloyds shares - any clues?
Good valid points and well made. I also hope unnecessary travel will be reduced / avoided when we emerge from the pandemic. It is up to each and everyone to take responsibility for our own actions. Just like the fly tippers, the litter droppers, those who do not recycling etc etc. Oh no LL has started me off on a rant!! Take care all and stay safe.
Prudence is needed. The dividend should / must be cancelled and the BOD should cut their own salaries by 25% from 1st of March. I see Kier have done this - good idea me thinks. Lloyds will come good eventually but not for a while, I can see lots of mortgage holders crying wolf just to save a few quid and of course they will get away with it.
Stay safe and good humoured. DEBs 1
my view is trading will continue. most stuff is algo's, auto and remote and so should continue - the next thing is early April and the new ISA year they will want to be open for that to extract a little more from the PI's. That is for those who can scrape together a bob or two!!
Re. kenco - shares you have to love them- I have made a small fortune from shares - from a big one!
Good to see the back of Ian Conn - what a mess he has left - I didn't know he was on the BT board as well. How do idiots like that get on the gravy train.
Hi World go round,
enough is enough - save your candles - no one believes a word you say. In future keep your poor sense of humour to yourself!
We all like stories with happy endings and hope CNA falls into that category!! The VW deal sounds like a good start.
Thursday could be pivotal. conns last results - thank goodness. good luck to long term holders.
Martin Lewis - (who I have little time for - I mean I can't stand) said, last night, BG has one of he best fixed offers around. Won't do us any harm.
BOD struggling to find a replacement CEO, I expect an sp bounce when they do - depending who and when. I would look inside for someone who knows the business and has loyalty. Don't go for the 'sexy' outsider with baggage from another failure. take care all. Our time, as lth's, might come - one day. LTH's as we don't want to sell at a loss, not necessarily by design.
santander reducing the interest rates on their 123 accounts, a shame but inevitable in the low interest rate world. It still remains a very good current account with cash back on utility payments etc. Share price seems to fluctuate with strength /weakness of the pound against the euro. Latin america seems to remain strong. BOD also keep buying so it remains a hold for me. Take care all.
the rns says just over 3 million share purchased by the two co's and the sp drops- unless I have misread and it is 3.5 million sold?
I can assure you my comment and observation was WHOLLY CORRECT, walking round the booker meat dept the last time I was there only meat from Brazil was available. I do not doubt what you say, in the past things might have been different but NOT when I was there. I have often bought meat from there but will not buy meat imported from destructed rainforest lands. British farmers deserve to be supported by British retailers and Tesco should do their bit, not to mention all the environmental issues.
Thanks for the link wids - a good ( really a great) read and insight into smaller but more powerful government. I have always felt the same way about public spending and if someone can take the bull by the horns and reduce the process spending and deliver the savings in the form outcomes / objectives the UK plc may just move forwards. I am looking forwards to the next 12 months with renewed anticipation. Is reading between the lines a code for 'get out of financials'? everyone should read it.
watch out with this share, Tesco are very poor on environmental issues and the word will get out soon. It will show Tesco in very bad light so just take care, even considering selling to get out at what really is a high price. I think the first issue is Bookers - only Brazilian beef available - no uk beef. More rain forest gone.
seems to have sorted out the long standing dispute with sub post people. well done him. another problem solved - lets hope.
Middle of the road politics, I would say slightly right of centre for myself but that is open for discussion - as always. To me that has always been the good thing about politics and discussion. We are a good country to grow up in and live in. Ok some take advantage of the system, some don't respect their community, some need more help than they are getting but don't let a government in that would once again open the drawers and let their cronies help themselves until it is all gone - again. Hard work still to be done. I don't think Boris has painted a bleak enough picture of the left wing EU and how the commision - that is the unelected rulers of the EU have failed / been unable to unite 28 countries for any ones benefit except Germany and France - the population of France, of course, don't appreciate how well of they are and just want more for doing less. I still feel a 'common market' has some advantages but a Europe ruled by an unelected commission - no thanks. Take care all
