Been up for an hour with a stonking hangover and just realised I never put the clocks back before I went to bed.....could have had another hour! lol!

"Lloyds Bank has a market capitalisation of excess £48 billion "
I think you meant £28 billion?

"This bloke Epro is something else."
That's putting it mildly, he/she/it is a pretentious, condescending t-wat!

Barclays and Lloyds are the two key banks in the UK sector and despite some similarities,
there are also glaring differences.
Lloyds has been back to doing what it does best, current accounts, mortgages, personal
and business loans, and life insurance…sound dull? Thank goodness. Fund managers in
the City used to mockingly call Lloyds “the world’s most boring bank”, who knew that would
become a compliment. Lloyds dominates the UK savings and mortgage industry and does
98% of its business in the UK, reconfirming its position as a key bell weather for the UK
economy so perhaps needs a bit more focus to understand the underlying view on the UK
economy.
Barclays is much more of a global operation and has some great businesses when you
scratch the surface. They have a leading wealth manager and a leading investment bank,
but it is fair to say that Barclays is not the global bank it once was. Except for the US, it has
largely retreated from foreign markets. Only a few years ago it had major operations in
Europe and Africa in particular, but these have been sold off. What we have left is a UK-USfocused bank.
Both have caused investors huge frustrations over recent years but for different reasons.

"While you are at it you can explain why over 50% of your posts are nothing but ridicuous challenges attempting to disrupt the board and other posters when you read things you don't like hearing."
Same question to you.

Well if Amazon are struggling not looking good for UK Retail sales going forward.......all be hoping for a good Santa Rally.

Nothing more than a bit of tongue in cheek banter with with Falky who takes it to seriously. As for not clogging up the board......well you only arrived on 2nd October and have notched up 458 posts. And all I was alluding to yesterday was that there are several members of this board, myself included, who are getting frustrated with the daily amount of posting of a purely political nature that make no reference to LBG, which is distracting from posts specifically discussing LBG as the focus/subject matter of the post. And you do your fair share of that, 458 posts in 25 days. Have a nice day.

"So what's the Dividend going to be. I'm sticking my neck out with 2.1p"
Interim dividend was 0.8p so on the basis of dividend split interim 1/3, final 2/3, the final dividend should be 1.6p taking the full year dividend for 2022 to 2.4p.

Epro,
If that was the case why don't the discussions on the Barclays, Natwest, HSBC and other Bank/Financial BB's also take the same line?

Loony right........PMSL! The discussion doe's not have a Lloyds aspect to it whatsoever.
