Brixton,
"Where's my doctor's number"
Not a doctor you need, it is a Psychiatrist.

My estimate for interim was 0.7p, but should we really expect an increase from last years 0.67p? Progressive dividend policy states:
"A progressive dividend policy is one where the dividend is expected to rise at least in line with increases in earnings per share. However, if earnings per share falls, the dividend will not be reduced".
Analysts estimates for 2022 FY earnings are less than 2021 FY earnings, so BOD could potentially elect to freeze dividend at last years level based on that. And it is worth noting that some, but not all, of the American Banks have already announced they will freeze this years dividend at last years level.

"I bet the children will love us for leaving them with all that debt .and hinder them from buying their own property ,"
Nothing to stop the children going solo and buying their own property outright before their parents die if their finances permit. And when the parents do die, their children would not be obliged to take on the balance of the mortgage if they did not wish to do so. In that case the bank would simply sell the property to recover their loan given and any balance given to the heirs.

Extra-long term mortgages on family homes which could be passed on from parents to their children are being considered within Government as part of plans to ease the housing crisis.

The idea could see people able to buy a home with little or no expectation of completing mortgage repayments during their lifetime, instead the property and outstanding debt would be passed on to their children.

Neither.......a routine and predictable day for Lloyds. Good gains in the morning surrendered by close of market.

I appreciate it is a 6 month review. Is this review just showing where the new shares issued in February RNS, 57 million, and May RNS, 585 million, have been awarded? Both of those RNS in February and May just announced the issue of the new shares, there was no information how they would be awarded.

Am I correct in thinking the shares detailed in todays RNS Block Listing Interim Review are taken from the new shares issued with the RNS Block Listing of Shares 25th February, 57 million, and the RNS 9th May Block Listing of Shares 585 million?

"FTSE 100 and LLOY are recovering today, nice"
Shush....whenever someone says that with a rise in the morning we end up down by market close. lol
