Yeah I get that too jax..thats why I've started this thread...going to be interesting re dividend...the jury's out I feel thx gl

Thanks avocet..gl

I don't post on this bb often but it seems little confidence in the share atm and tbf I'm not totally sure either...at aroundx10% yield I'm going to keep my shares for the time being...whats the general consensus re the dividend being maintained going forward...tia..gla.

Surely the government cannot set a precedent of bailing out over leveraged borrowers ..it wont happen imo...im sure there are many avenues that lenders and borrowers can explore.. adjust loan length..interest only etc....gla

Will be interesting to see how much people have had to adjust their spending.....if any ?.....gla.

...ffs anyone would think we had Turkeys inflation problem.....god only knows what would happen at the BBC if we did....interest rates are still lower than a historic 30 year average..calm the fk down.........gla.

Who in their right mind thought interest rates would stay near zero for ever..utterly ridiculous......house prices needed a reality check and here it is....state pension age people like myself had record high mortgage interest rates then record low interest rates on their savings.....we either got on with it or went under...many did unfortunately....gla
