Good response there Patrao1. Who will be right? is where I'm at too as I remember 2011 well for many reasons. History is repeating on the gold front, so who knows if the same will happen here?

stagecoach, I reckon the majority of us on here, achieved it all ourselves (without parental assistance) but times have changed, and not for the better in some respects. We're to blame ... well I know I am. What we considered a first time buy no longer seems to be the case. We've done the cars and holidays routine, we're onto "grown-up" stuff now ... like big gardens - ha!

correct, it reads like "mine's bigger than yours" little boys style

sc/VB, done that and this branch isn't closed.

LEVIS, would rather have the 28c any day of the week. How's your sons property search going in the big smoke? Mine has now found the "perfect garden" with a house in - different strokes and all that. Halifax offering is far better than Lloyds. Thought they'd be on a par, but no. Has professionalism gone out of the window totally? Emails from both that were forwarded to me ... hmmm.

High road and low road and "By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes" ... out with the fiddles and all that.

You can sense what you like. You do theoretical and I'll stick with real. You continue with your away with the fairies routine and I'll keep my feet firmly planted on terra firma.

If you want change in any field, area or sector then you get off your bum and you do something about it. So no, we are not on the same side because I did that thing and continue to do so, whenever and wherever, you did not or have not. If I'm wrong on the latter, then feel free to give examples of the REAL in your life.

starting another thread, as some clearly don't get the jist of threads. Life seemed much simpler back then - over 40 years ago. Information overload is how it feels these days. Phone the broker, make the purchase, receive your certificate, hold and then post the certificate back to sell when your goal was achieved. I can't recall having to write any losers off, before online and the aim became available. Maybe not having as much on time to play with as we were working, was for the better eh?

SUF, I know which one you are talking. I wanted to say "DON"T" but you wouldn't have taken notice/listened a,s we all have to make our own mistakes and learn from them. Small mistakes are easy to write off, the biggies ... well, you just got to dust yourself down and get on with it. I did a daft one (only a small punt) only the other week - rank-outsider - would have been better backing a horse.

Theosus, yep the Primary Bid game, been reading/watching following all that activity.

SUF, in swings and roundabout world, it might have been well done on those moves, however I made the biggest ******* -up ever being stupid on an aim play and lost a shed load - lessons for the learning and all that. If we are to visit the 2011 gap as some are predicting, I intend taking full advantage, will patience pay? Who knows in this crazy world?

SUF, I can recall your posting all of those years ago. We sold a property in 2011 and I put virtually all the proceeds in Barc and Lloy. Set myself a target for them both and patience paid. Never bought Barc since, but been in and out of Lloy over the years. Got to say, you have the patience of a saint on this one. ATB

The crystal ball that indicates when the 23p is gonna materialise? Just so we can all plan accordingly. Never thought that we'd revisit 2011, but who knows in this crazy world.

the protesters, the ravers and the Leeds supporters, oh and the Lloyds forum - loco y mas loco.

Well increasing the limits would go some way to helping a situation and I reckon that there would be plenty of interest.

lti/sc, our PB's have returned 2% over the past 12 months, beaten the average % and certainly more than a bank return, in the current climate. All winnings re-invested buying PB's for grandson. Easy access to your capital - 2 days for online withdrawals. Couldn't be simpler, maybe they should consider increasing the limits again.

It's the middle of the afternoon. Maybe you need to focus on the country that you chose to live in? 17 years of enjoying the lifestyle offering would not entice us to change our country of domicile, as we know where we are better off - clearly you do not. Far more problems with the Spanish economy than the UK and clearly C19 has served to highlight that fact over there.
There you go again, with your assertion "What is clear is the UK already going to regret leaving the EU. No debate on that point." Your point of view does not close a debate. As for believing in carnage, well ... that's clearly what you wish or hope for, because you believe that you are right. You stick with your negative stance as that's evidently what floats your boat ...

or in the case of wrong-turn - more like an arm missing - big permanent sulk on cos he's a "member" (how apt) of the losing side and still over 4 years later, is unable to let it drop. Clearly, he views the re-inventing of himself every weekend for the purpose of causing disruption on the forum as some sort of pay-back. We all have options and if you choose to be domiciled to Spain, then live with it, or change it, wrong-turn, as taking your anger out on others will not solve your own issues.

If he'd waited only a little while longer to dig in his pocket, he could have picked up a whole lot more ...

a bit of positivity on a weekend morning? If at first you don't succeed, try and try again. 16 years later, back up they go ...marching on together. Not Lloyds related, but then nor is most of what is being posted.

Yup and yup. What about www.checkthatcompany.co.uk - is that a tongue in cheek joke?
