It will hardly affect the sale of a house to the majority at current HIGH House prices... What was affordable for one person to buy 25 years ago... is now not affordable for countless couples to buy today.. . The damage has been done ..The housing stock does not meet todays demand, and the demand is the problem of the increased population of Today... Building more homes will obviously help... But building more homes while the population in still increasing is like Kicking the Can down the road, as it will never meet the demand. And with more homes built and further population increases it will also constantly add to the volume of cars on our roads for every new house and another family... basic logic tells you increasing Traffic volumes creates more traffic jams and even slower travel times, and more increased nightmare parking issues in the future if current trends... continue. Many 3 bed house in London have over the last 25 years been converted into 2 flats and making many areas so densely populated that overcrowding is a big problem... A 3 bed London terraced house 25 years ago with a family of 4, after being converted into 2 flats, can have 6 to 8 people in the same building now and 3 cars outside if they can find a space to park.. I moved out of London 30 plus years ago and it was a problem then...God knows what it is like to live in that environment now. I Sold my London house for 13K, 30 plus years ago, now valued at over 650K now. No wonder house conversions have taken place and you can sell 2 flats in a converted 650K house, for 450K for each Flat for a total of 900K now...and flats being more affordable than houses now to the majority, so even cramming more people in the same building... Crazy times we live in now... But the reality for many today... Obviously... This would be pro rata prices around the country in other big cities, and big cities have got more densely populated and are getting worse...Best move I made years ago to move near the coast... Less stress and aggravation that so many seem to have to endue every day.. it must be a nightmare in London now.. Using Oxford Street Tub Station last summer was a massive eye opener to how things are, we had the barriers shut in front of us because there was too many people going in ... and in 5 minutes a hundred or more were queuing behind us .. and some do this 5 days a week ..it is a mental way to get to and from work.... More people going into this tube station in that 30 minutes than live on my housing estate ... that is a serious issue, to have to deal with on a daily basis.. a sign of the times.. Yes it`s reality .. How do they put up with it and why. Just to earn more money and pay probably 3 times or more to live, with rents or a mortgage ... But that`s life as they say... Amazing how a housing problem not solved years ago has grown into a bigger amount of different extra problems today.. Hope you enjoyed my post ..ATB

dunandusted... You maybe right that there could be no foreseeable benefit in this share .. Others may think the future could be more up than down if the bottom has been reached... The £6 in 2007 followed by the drop to 12p in 2009 is history and the £6 back then would now have to reach £60 today because of the June 2012 10 for 1 consolidation ... As said £6 in today's terms it would have rise to £60 , so that is a impossibility unless another few consolidations and a possible miracle happens ... Sadly there are probably people still out there waiting for that £6/£60 to break even... In my option long term investing from today's SP for a realistic target of 250p to 300p in. 5 years or less would give nearly a 90% gain at 300p .. Pretty good if it happens.... But nothing is certain in today's world... So I take the view that range trading and selling 15p to 20p above my buy price .. Is acheiveable more often.. As I found out in the 2012 - 2014 years having 4 to 6 small winning profits each year .. If I had waited for a gain of 30p or more I would only have had only a 50% success rate per year back then ... So greed proved a killer to me if waiting for a 30p plus gain that often did not happen before a another drop back.. And a profit was lost. Since the start of 2015 my system was not useable because the relentless drop from 412p down to today's price.. Maybe range trading can be profitable again if things are getting more settled ... Hopefully yes... ATB .. All ..

That`s the way to DO IT... as punch Says.. Well done ... I just repeat as when the opportunity comes along ..Small gains are More achievable far more often with volatility in share movements.. ATB

Never feel like a traitor.. We are all in the same boat... If you go with another share you are always we one to keep posting for a chat... Re previous years .. I did well with volitity during the 3 years of 2012 - 2014 .. With range trading,. SP 168p as I post this..

You are doing well at the moment ... Beware that the volitity may se another drop and in times like these I often take a small profit on a rising market before profit taking or whatever occurs and hopefully rebuy at a lower price ... A 10p - 15p gain is a winner,... watching is fall back 10p or more can be frustration and greed and a longer wait Just my thoughts, that made many a lot of money by repeating this system 3 and 4 years ago on this share.. Good Luck... Whatever you do .. We all have to chose.. Good or bad...

I don't really want get deep into the Iraq Blair issue... But since Blair was first elected PM it seems he has been on a massive wealth creation mission of his own. Where huge amounts of money is concerned mistakes and corruption and wrong doings usually go hand in hand. Likewise increasing his self status in the UK and then the world arena ... As for the The Chilcot report I obviously like many go by the media reaction... That said it appears that he has come out of it all and since a even more richer person . If Blair as an individual sent UK troops to Iraq or was the full Labour cabinet involved in voting on it for Blair to implement it all... While in constant contact with his cabinet... Is a question that I am not in full knowledge of... The answer... Just my 2 pennies worth... As Blair it seems is seriously unpopular ... For many different reasons..

Good luck, I am stil out at the moment .. Have been out today and I now see it has gone up 10p.. So you are at least in the right direction so far...

When posting I often Highlight and copy my post ...Just in case a failure as you said you had in you last post... Enjoy the planes and Morrisons Vouchers... at least mine stay £5 and not £4 tomorrow... Busy Film editing at the moment so I must get on... Catch you later... Go a feeling WALES just may do it tonight.. I Hope so..

We all have a lot of thoughts and ideas on current issues ...predictable and secure Is a thing of the past since the year 2001 Twin towers loss... The mould of the last century was badly cracked ... The past 15 years of Greed and financially crisis and increasing population and unaffordability to more in housing and renting is now well documented on many TV programmes.. My best take is, that the Brexit vote which many took the opportunity to finally try and change things ...Something you just cannot do in a normal Election.... The result has the possibility of so many changes and fortunes to be lost and hopefully bettered in the longer term, say 5 years things will be stabilised and different .. The need of banks will probably be different and housing will be more dense in future years by increased population.. As many businesses all make different decisions and as thinking fragment`s in many ways since Brexit .. The impact on family incomes may take time to affect them in months to come.. the thinking now is probably everything is up for change .....We now have to see how the building blocks of the UK can be rearranged and what new benefits and adjustments can or will be made........ We are now probably ENTERING a new ERA.. if not a different one.. As issues and situations will develop with the EU and within the EU in coming years I hope for Gods sake Terrorism does take the opportunity of all the Brexit unrest, to impose themselves further into our lives.... See where end up on Friday`s close ..below or above 150p....

The BOE backing Plans to get banks to lend more seems rather kicking the can down the road if more are now finding funding such high mortgages more unaffordable ..Getting into credit card debt is growing to more people. and retail non food shops seeing less footfall.... My local Electrical Branch shop is now offering FREE SKY for a YEAR .. the Box the Dish and installation the lot free for first year.. My coffee reduced in Morrisons from £6.50p to £4 a jar..so I had good morning bought 5 jars and saved £10.. Then because I collected 5000 points on my card, I was given a £5 voucher ..so my Coffee came down anther £5... happy days.. The joys of food shopping Looks like the coming year will see a lot of re-adjustments on many fronts including House buying and Jobs, and Travel and increased costs of holidays abroad and less converted spending money...A 1000 Euros will cost £100 more than last month.. for a start... The amount of unknown changes to come in little or big ways will certainly be challenging to some if not a lot of people... Meanwhile anyone have and idea or guess at what price RBS may bottom out at....... now just gone sub 150p... Come on WALES Tonight...

In Feb 2015 with the SP at 4.12p, the talk back then was will the SP reach £5 by Dec 2015 . Well how things have changed, instead of a hopeful rise of 90p in 10 months to £5 by Dec 2015 .... We now have had after 17 months later since Feb 2015 ... a drop of over 250p ... What a reversal of fortune even while the structure of this bank is getting better... Over the past 7 years to be nearly back to the SP aver the 2008 finacial crash... Further to drop ... I really have no idea, the UK is in a fog at the moment and so much is unclear... Things will look a lot clearer and probably different in months to come... Having bought in at 188p with a small punt ... I have sold a week later at 176p for a small loss after a rethink.. You cannot win them all and these are very uncertain times .. Totally out of my remit at the moment... Now looking for another buy at a lower price to recoup my small loss.. ..timing and patience is now the the way forward.. .. Days, weeks or months I do not know... A lot could happen and probably will in the next 6 months.. Good Luck. All ... We will all need it...

What another poor day... I was looking back today and in Jan 2009 the share price hit around 11p old money. before consolidation in June 2012 which is 110p in todays terms...So after hitting the bottom of 11p in Jan 2009 and after all the past 7 years improvements, todays share price after hitting 412p in Feb 2015 is now back down to 158p ... nearly 15p old money ..so the share price now is just 4p above the 2009 old money price back then. What a journey over 7 years to nearly end up back where we started ..just 4p or 40p now away from that 2009 level...what a rollercoaster 7 year ride... With many reasons of volatility along the way during the past 7 years in just goes to prove the sheer uncertainty there really is... with shares more so with RBS.. Recession has been mentioned the past week on UK and USA TV as a possibility , not probability. I do not really think that our present government have any real idea at the moment as to what plan of action to take as they have been caught out with the vote result... plenty of talks the next 2 months will no doubt test many ...and plan B will have to be agreed on soon to steady the markets Dragging on to Xmas is not really a good option unless the reason is to try to let the markets self stabilise.. Who knows... It has been the worse past 16 years of my life, politically and Financially and the start of Terrorism since 2001 in New York .. Now the Brexit situation, and another few years of many other twists and turns and announcements to come... Lets hope friction in communities does not happen as things will sure get harder for some if not many the next 5 years... Every week from now, there will no doubt be many reports and news items to test us all.. ATB .. My thoughts as always..

Looks like we are in unchartered waters... See where this mystery tour takes us... Can anyone see ...The grim reaper in the distance.... Seems Uncertainty, that dreaded word again... is in charge

57p...That's another £1.07p drop ... If in old money 57p would be £5.70p now

SP treading water today.. Glad you enjoyed the Locos... The FA are a law unto themselves ..After the last 10 years of watching countless TV replays of minimal player contact followed by a Majestic dive ... it is still allowed to carry on .. When the mass wealth of Football money is concerned Giving out more Yellow and more RED cards just does not happen.. .. The more it goes unstopped, the more frequent is will go on happening... Basic logic... . Cheating certainly Prospers in Football, as there must be 1000s of hours of recorded football games to prove it... Come on WALES ...

Interesting listen on your link... A lot of basic logic and a few truths... sadly time changes everything, but the powers that be need to be more imaginative .. as Cultures and different attitudes do not always mix .. A united Europe State is totally unlike the United States of America .. and very hard to marry as one... The idea is good, but the principles of each country are always an issue of frustration ... Free movement of trade is a good thing as things are needed ... Mass movement of people is another different issue... ATB

Happens so often..as soon as England get kicked out the better games get played... Wales game Friday and Germany game last night, 2 good games ...See what Iceland can do tonight ...

Yes you are right they were better than today's lot... More. So as the current lot are so poor ... I suppose we just wait for repetive process to repeat itself again and chose another high paid manager and probably pick some of the current team .. Probably Rooney again to build his Cap total up further.. ATB...

bakerrabble... England Yes did beat Wales , but that is another issue of England`s years of inconsistency to add to their problems.... They played better against Wales and played Diabolical against Iceland with many horrendous passing moves.... Their shown ability in the Iceland game is now added to the history of the past Efforts.. jings100 .. cannot comment on the 1970 Squad, who Obviously did not play good enough to win in 1970.. Not sure if they were all the same 1966 squad ... But to play so badly in this tournament and to only win one match out of 4 and say they are better than the 1970 squad... HIGHLIGHTS my point that the guy in the Guardian is yet another one who tries to make any Excuse to justify England`s poor shown ability. and getting kicked out so early... To me the Results go in the history books and in England`s case it is very sad reading...And how many times during the past 50 years.. after a tournament has the Manager disappeared... Without big changes to the system. I can see another 50 years of the same...and it defies logic that in the last 30 years a GREAT 11 man England squad has never been found... ..A great player knows how to play and Finally the art of DRIBBLING seems to have gone come back George Best.....just hack a player down instead is the thing now...take a hit for the team the TV pundits say and get a yellow card... sorry not my way of being skilful, any player can do that and shamefully many do... ATB...

We done WALES.. You have finally shown that the ENGLAND players are OVER PAID ...UNDER ACHIEVERS ... When will it FINALLY sink in that the ENGLAND system is repeating the same poor system of making EXCUSES for the players lack of shown ability in an ENGLAND shirt... For the past 50 years ENGLAND has turned up to just made up the numbers at every football tournament ... So if nothing else is to happen, for Gods sake FA, please admit the present system of choosing players is wrong and paying a manager £10 million plus to achieve nothing is basically utter STUPIDITY.. 5 DECADES of a repetitive bad system is just Crazy and MAD. ..WALES you have the SHOWN the desire and Passion so lacking and NOT SHOWN in so many ENGLAND Teams and their HUMILIATION of themselves proves that point time and time again.... The shame of the English Prem players has finally been EXPOSED as their value is GREATLY over rated and their salaries means they are GREATLY over PAID. Consistent Excuses, for Consistent bad results, have Consistently go on for far too long...The need for the FA to change things is Paramount for all to see... Players are the Problem no matter where they play in the world They can win Friendly games , but do not win many tournament games sums up a major problem somewhere... Is it really the lacking of Desire and their Ability when it really matters....? . .it is a Strange fact of History that 15 Managers since 1966 have come up against the same problem , of unable to get ENGLAND players to win tournament Games, and like Ground Hog Day the same England Player and Manager choosing system just repeats it self over and over again... With such similar out comes or results ... Just my point of view as always. ATB ..You may have another points of view as to why things have been for so long.
