Thanks HU gl.

Can yo do part drawdown part annuity after taking your 25% tax free cash?..I will be looking into this more avidly over the next year or so as I hit 66 next year....gla

Now that rates are returning to what Mervyn king called normal levels..savers and annuity buyers etc will now get better returns..I will say they've had a poor ride for a long time now..gla..have a good weekend.

Boris odds falling on betfair exchange ....down to 5/4....

theo... the new leadership will be praying its just 75bp and maybe the end of october financial statement may make sure that 75bp is sufficient till the 15th of december....gl.

the rate rise possibilities seem to be in a daily/constant state of flux ....cable having a hard time today ..plus the political situation still unstable.....100 bp for me....but who knows atm ?....gla

Boris down to 2/1.......yikes

johnsons odds dropping on betfair exch...now only 5/1....someones having a punt...

Boris remarkably quiet......current odds sunak 10/11...morduant 5/2 boris only 7/1 ....yikes......gla

Thanks all..I only like buying drinks in happy hour...gla

thanks ww...i think there are more checks forms signature etc etc because everything is done online.....gl for november.

Thanks brixton....

Ive waited till today to reveal i won what they call a high value win...which start at £5000.....in the october draw 1 ticket won me £10000 .....there are 2 reasons i am only sharing today 1) i only got paid today...its more complicated than being paid straight into your bank..you receive a letter/form asking you to claim ..also you have to get your signature witnessed outside of your family....plus they are pretty strict on making sure you dont own anymore the the £50k maximum....so make sure all your details are correct with ns&i.......the second reason is ...i wanted to show off a bit......Long live premium bonds.....gla..

people have had to begin funding a DECENT retirement from when i started work in the 1970's nothing new happening now imo ....gla.

CPI..slightly higher than expected ...but no real shock....reatail sales friday..all focus now on Hunt which will cloud the financial waters domestically for the rest of october.........41 -44p seems to be lloyds sp range atm.....gla.

Has to end ^

Morning ww..for the share price to reach the mid 50's and above this terrible situation/war gas to end imo ..gl

Morning solid..looking more like 75bp rise in November now imo..gl

Loki/ant...any opinions on lloyds shares this morning..or is it your normal white noise...gl

Still hoping for a reasonable week with lloyds and others...looks ok this morning gla
