Impecunious, Prince Philip didn't start his life from a privileged position.

Prince Philip's parents were Prince Andrew of Greece and Princess Alice of Battenberg. His father was exiled from Greece and his uncle, King Constantine I, was forced to abdicate. George VI sent a navy warship to pick up their family, with Philip carried onboard as a baby in an orange box. They took with them no money and only the clothes they were wearing.

When Prince Philip was very young, his father ran away with a mistress. His mother was in a sanatorium for five years. He didn't see either of them for years. His sisters married men who were Nazi party members in Germany. With neither parent present for years, Philip was sent between boarding schools and numerous relatives. His eldest sister, Cecile, to whom he was closest, but who remained in Germany, died in a plane crash with her husband and children. During World War II Prince Philip was on active duty in the British Navy. He was in the thick of the action in the Mediterranean as an officer on board the HMS Valiant during the battle of Crete, and on the Indian Ocean.

Prince Philip was a war hero and a courageous, honourable man. His whole life was about unwavering service, to this country, to his children, and overwhelmingly to his wife, her HM the Queen.

RIP. I do feel sorry for the Queen.

Thank you Bamps, for posting such a fascinating document. Now I know my winzes and adits from my mullocks. I love old historical documents and this doc really brings the Golden Mara to life. It seems as though they were classed as an essential occupation as they were able to obtain £1,000 [a huge sum, about £115,000 today?] from the Aus Gov and mining continued throughout the First World War.

I topped up.

Doubtful? You want all time highs this year so you can sell?

Doubtful? Has the gold disappeared from the ground? Maybe you're in a rush or don't have the balls for share trading?

Sorry, H4.

And with inverted yield curves, commencement is gradual, pre and post H1.

Hi. When I can't buy a share I split my requests, so instead of buying one lot of £4,000 I go for two lots of £2,000. It usually works. Sorry if anyone thinks I'm teaching my grandmother to suck eggs by saying that.

Hi Greb. Yes, I don't filter people to be mean to them. It's just that my time is valuable to me, so I don't like wasting it.

Hello peeps.

Is it not the case that share buying on the four days before any Bank Holiday known as -H4, -H3, -H2 and -H1 are progressively a low volume of trades to a high volume of trades, with -H1, the day before the Bank Holiday having the highest volume? And conversely, the four days after a Bank Holiday, known as +H1, +H2, +H3 and +H4 are high volume to low volume, with +H1 being the highest volume?

I suppose it's the same 'fear of' social phenomenon as shoppers who empty shelves in food shops at Xmas, even though the shops are only closed for one day. It might explain why the shares seem sluggish today, with the exception of a few.

Still, my fingers diligently managed a top-up while I am waiting for the next bit of GGP news.

Thanks Zoros, I couldn't find the rest of it.

Have a nice weekend, all, :))

South Pacific. lol

'Happy Talk' from Souith Pacific.
Very good, L.

Well done, Paddy.
As for certain others, this happens every Friday. Have you all been drinking? Behave yourselves or do I have to send you all to the naughty step? :))

I love this board on a Friday. It goes from quiet to nice to feisty, all in one thread.

@ Redirons, Golly gosh, thank you for including me in such hallowed company. Wow.
ATB:)

PS: Does this mean I have to grow up now and only make serious posts? No more jokes?

Anyone remember this?

I have a secret
I mustn't tell
I was born in a winkle shell
The winkle shell was made of glass
I fell out and cut my ...
Ask no questions tell no lies
I saw a policeman doing up his
flies are a nuisance
Bees are worse
This is the end of my little verse.

Winkle is pronounced 'winknall' - London/Essex. That would be about 1968. I'm telling you, we had a whole other sort of childhood - no computers!

This site should allow 'Sticky' threads to be agreed by the Moderators.

Sooo, I just ordered my Bed & Isa, and I rather cheekily reminded ii about Friday and Monday (just in case they didn't realise), although I expect a lot of them have holidays booked around it.
Bye for now,
Jet

For your diaries, in case anyone is planning on transferring money/shares.

Yeah Kenco, I just googled your question and it's a minefield. Seek professional help!
