UK enjoys fastest growth in almost a year after World Cup and weather boost.

LONDON, Sept 10 (Reuters) - Britain’s economy grew at its fastest pace in almost a year during the three months to July, boosted by stronger consumer spending due to the World Cup and warm weather, official figures showed on Monday.
Gross domestic product in the three months to July was 0.6 percent higher than in the previous three-month period, gathering pace from 0.4 percent recorded in the three months to June and at the top end of forecasts in a Reuters poll.

This data is likely to reassure the Bank of England which raised interest rates last month for only the second time since the financial crisis, forecasting third-quarter growth of 0.4 percent and a lacklustre 2018 expansion of 1.4 percent.

Britain’s economy has slowed since the June 2016 Brexit vote, its annual growth rate slipping from top spot among the Group of Seven rich nations to jostling with long-term laggards Japan and Italy for bottom place in the rankings.

Mishmos: yes, the Lloyds share price is too depressing to mention, give it a little boost back up to 67p and we will all be delighted.

Aperson must notify the issuer of the percentage of its voting rights he holds as shareholder or holds or is deemed to hold through his direct or indirect holding of financial instruments falling within DTR 5.3.1R (1) (or a combination of such holdings) if the percentage of those voting rights:

(1) reaches, exceeds or falls below 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10% and each 1% threshold thereafter up to 100% (or in the case of a non-UK issuer on the basis of thresholds at 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 50% and 75%) as a result of an acquisition or disposal of shares or financial instruments falling within DTR 5.3.1 R; or
(2) reaches, exceeds or falls below an applicable threshold in (1) as a result of events changing the breakdown of voting rights and on the basis of information disclosed by the issuer in accordance with DTR 5.6.1 Rand DTR 5.6.1A R;
and in the case of an issuer which is not incorporated in an EEA State a notification under (2) must be made on the basis of equivalent events and disclosed information.

JMO, if said person will not divulge their country of origin or states that they cannot remember their country of origin, then they cannot be sent back. This is practiced at the moment.

Imagine counting nasty racists as your friends?

Sorry Wids, that was predictive text.

Winds: that looks like an excellent method of pest control. The rat runs look like they are going between my neighbours decking and up to there newly installed summer house and shed, bloody nuisance, I will let lem see this as extermination by a company can be quite expensive. I hate rats, can’t understand why anyone would keep one as a pet!?

Lit: this is not important, I do not care, I have more worrying things to ponder over, like my neighbour discovering she has rats under her decking: the four legged variety, before you ask although there are probably some of the two legged variety around too. 🐀

Have you people nothing better to worry about than up ticked recommendations? 👹

Yes 2CV, made the gooseberry jam but in my opinion black currant jam is better and so easy to make.

I have had up to 50 butterflies in my garden this year, at any one time, sometimes settling on the house exterior walls which are white. It’s been a bit like Disney Land at times.

Tricky, your only a wee skinny five foot nothing so kneecapping it is.

You do realise your kneecaps are now in danger?

An LTI informer.

Hey Tricky, so now your a grass?

LTI, it’s six people now, you better develop a better interrogation technique, where’s your pal? You could couldtry the good guy , bad guy technique?

I was out at a friends house for an impromptu glass of wine and was not on the board at all so did not see your post. Have a nice day 🍷

John46, I was not referring to you in that post, it was the resident idiot GB13 that this post was aimed at. Sorry for any confusion.

It’s quite sad that posters do not check their facts before they openly criticise a post.

As I thought Mick and thank you for that.

Thank you Mick, clarifies the situation perfectly.

You just made yourself look really stupid, check your facts before you open your big gob.
