Hope so. I bought in around the 330 mark and bought double the amount I intended to as Barclays told me the first trade had failed when it had not! Anyway, that mistake is looking good at the moment. The assets held here are really high quality and the voids are very small. For a long term, quality, property play I think this has legs. And a decent yield in the meantime.

Wasn’t aware of that Blakester. Always good to have some extra irons in the fire! In the meantime, the slide downwards continues!

Started buying these around the 2800 mark! Ouch! Have periodically topped up since and had another nibble today just under 1800. I’m pretty heavy on these now, and can’t say I don’t still have concerns about the direction of travel - but would be surprised if they dropped much more from here. I think I misjudged this one generally at the outset and definitely underestimated the change in drinking patterns in the young. Add some tariffs and some bad management and you have a pretty much perfect storm. Anyway - they’ve been punished and I think they deserve a bit more of my money now.

The boards on LSE vary in the quality and relevance of contributions, but over the years I’ve picked up a few decent tips and information, and the positives have outweighed the negatives. This particular board is an embarrassment - highjacked by people that I suspect would find what they are looking for on the dark web but don’t have the nous to find it. Goodbye you miserable lot and good luck. You are going to need it!

Been watching this for a while and finally took the plunge this morning. Risk/reward looking good.

Couldn’t agree more Chid.

Been holding these for sometime waiting for this turn around. It’s been longer than expected, but this is looking ripe for a rerate now. Good stuff.

100% this stuff is leaked to see what reaction it gets. It's exactly what Trump does in the US - shouts things out and then runs with what strikes with the uneducated masses. In Labour's case though it is, I think, even more disingenuous. I don't think there is any doubt at all they were seriously considering reducing the Cash ISA limit - with a view to encouraging the population to embrace investing as they do in the US. You cannot do that and then look to tax the one groups of share that are most commonly invested in by retail investors. The mixed messages are just ridiculous. This government means it is impossible to plan for anything. Those of us who are doing what we have always been told good citizens should do - save and invest money to pay for our retirement - are getting smacked in the face on a daily basis at the moment. I have to say, it is getting wearisome to say the least.

To counter some of the misery and despair that is spread on this board everyday, I am going to do some bare-faced bragging and share that my youngest daughter got straight 9’s in her GCSEs today. She works her ar@e off and has no time for those who don’t. Despite me often leaning slightly to the left, she is basically a mini Margaret Thatcher. So for all those despairing with the direction our country is or is not travelling, have some faith that there are some ardent right wingers emerging in the younger generation who may have the brains and inclination to actually do something about it, as opposed to moaning on a chat board day after day.

agreed oldbrian - the bloomers/hardown roadshow is quite amusing though. in the old days they’d have been put in an asylum somewhere (and obvs bloomers would have been persecuted for being ***) so i suppose it’s progress that they have somewhere to share their views now.

I’m sure it would only take a few clicks for you all to find a chat room full of likeminded people. Do you really have to clog up a chat forum for a major UK bank with this inane drivel every hour of every day?

Maybe if you didn’t insult people the moment they have a different point of view you could find some actual friends and go out?

Hasn’t it already had a fund raise?

I feel your pain Fenlli. Many is the time I almost pushed the button too. Thank you for your magnanimous gesture re not buying more!

Karma will reward you.

Finally.

In the case of the guy who succeeded it was total misrep. According to the decision the finance docs were dressed up as if there were a variety of lenders and the dealer had chosen the right one for the buyer - but that wasn’t true and they were paid a 55% commission which wasn’t disclosed. He was clearly done up like a kipper - seems the right decision.

The livestream judgement was good. Not sure how things are going to pan out though - as ultimately scope for claims still in various circumstances - particularly when commission paid was out of whack with loan sum.

Oh dear Carltt! You really are a very sad little man.

US prices. They’ve been stockpiling the sh*t out of the stuff after being misled by Trump on tariffs.

Still, the RNS did at least spell her name correctly.

If ever there was a name to inspire confidence….

Maybe Ken can join her as the new CEO.
