Ghee is nice with hot chicken and pasta. Oops, another off topic thread! Anyone seen the stupid Xmas Big Supermarket advert where they've put real gold in a drink? I know there's a trace of gold in all humans so it doesn't harm us, but anyone want to go steal a convoy of those bottles and sieve out the gold?

'xpect so, Uptheladder, if Speedy means the Happidrome - wide blue building, other side of the Kursaal:)

I agree - nice explanation, TMT. I wasn't in SXX but there's a lot of discussion about it on this board. That's not a criticism, peeps and I can see why a lot of people would be wary. I especially liked your last paragraph, TMT. I think it's good to draw a comparison and say that GGP is nothing like SXX.

Hi VS, I'd love to see 24p but I think it will just return to 1.86% up, back to yesterday. There doesn't seem to be a big movement on any of the shares I have today. I think the TV tube needs a kick.

Well apparently the fans locked the gates two days ago and the BBC reports that 'Last month the club settled tax debts worth £493,931, with a winding-up petition dismissed in the High Court.' But I don't really follow the club. I only follow with mild interest.

Now, I 'follow' GGP with far more than a mild interest. You'd think with that sea of blue the red arrow would also turn blue. I expect it will return another 1.86% to us by half four.

JerrySpaniel, I hope you extend that to me for this post which is meant to cheer up Speedy. It could be worse, Speedy, your town's football team could face the ignominy of returning in their coach from a match where they lost 6-1 (or 1-6) to find they'd been padlocked out of their football grounds by their own supporters!!! LOL.

'It's up there with Swift's "Modest Proposal" of 1729.'

Yeah Impecunious, why don't they put children up chimneys anymore? The little imps could store all the gold coins for their owners up there.

Have a great weekend everybody, 3 weeks next Tuesday. :)

Hi Kevman, yes, getting real financial advice is a sound idea. You can have four ISAs open, but the maximum you can pay in across those four ISAs is £20,000 per tax year, so it's not possible to transfer £20,000 into each of the four ISAs in any one tax year.
Correct me if I'm wrong, peeps.

Kevman2, if your £100,000 profit is made within an ISA it will not attract CGT. If it is in a trading account, it will have CGT due on it.

Oh and yes, Risehall1, psml2. :)

There you go, now isn't that nice - mini tetchiness self-resolved on this day of all days, lovely long thread, and hey, look at that - GGP SP up 9.52% :))
I'm off to make dinner - salmon with something.
Have fun, evening trolls.
See you tomorrow, GGPers.

Hi Speedy, I don't relish the idea of being bought out but if it happens I'll be researching other shares in the investment funds clever enough to include GGP, as they have shown great judgment by including GGP in their funds. And I'll get some more buy-to-lets. B2Ls are a minefield for anyone looking to go into it now, as a newbie, but I've been doing it for years. From time to time I sell up completely and buy afresh. By the time I've had all the net rent profit for all those years I don't mind putting aside a bit of tax for the next generation. But coins are shiny, though:))

Thanks, TomE again. That picture just makes your heart flutter, doesn't it? Ooh Arrrrrrh Tom Lad, there be treasure. (Robert Newton's got a lot to answer for.)

Hi. He was good but then he's a Guardsman. He would be good. I also thought the bugler at the Royal British Legion was good.

Now there's a thought. Thanks TomE. :)

TomE and Speedy, Hi, so how is all this promotion by you and others of gold coins different to ramping up other shares on this GGP board? (wink, wink, grinning). Only kidding:)) At least it's gold, LOL. I like the bit about gold coins being CGT free. I suppose it all comes down to whether it's legal tender or not, yes?

Share price going up nicely.

Can't be bothered to cross threads. I've asked GGP for the Explanatory Note on Voting Rs 4 and 5.
ATB:))

Not necessarily happy about Nos 4 and 5. Has anybody seen the Explanatory Statement?
