Nice to see good old Spoons starting to get the appreciation that it deserves after being run down by some ‘empty barrels’. A very well run operation, which is welcome in the communities it serves.

I’ve heard his silly victimgood claims before. His mum worried about him working for the English. As if! Being British in an Irish company might well be a problem though.
As for Americans getting his name wrong, well, that’s par for the course. Although it’s only worth crying about if you have African or Asian heritage. (Chinese people being called Bob or Roy, ****stanis called Kash etc).
He shook out the straight, white men and replaced them with disadvantaged groups, yay, Bernaaard! He walked away from billions in Russia because: ‘values’
Let’s go, Spoonholders!
As we all know, a 'windfall' means receiving an amount of fruit, or a sum of money, unexpectedly or 'by luck', i.e. without working for it, and due to external circumstances.
I don't like being called 'lucky' when I have worked and taken risks and postponed pleasures to achieve things but here we are.
Will online retailers and entertainers, supermarkets and pizza delivery companies, for example, see 'windfall taxes' (cash grabs) on the profits they made, simply because the country was locked down? These could offset the grotesque 'furlough', 'bounceback' and EOtHO payments that were in many cases defrauded.
A dangerous precedent is being set whereby tax code can be changed on a whim. When we lose, that loss is ours alone. When we gain, with patience and hard work, that gain is shared or taken away, to public applause.
"A year ago, Heathrow warned it had gone from being Europe’s busiest airport in 2019 to number 10 on the list".
I can believe that. BA is my preferred airline but I was having to use KLM, Emirates and others throughout the Covid times because Heathrow and or BA was being stymied by some shady policies or agenda.
@Happyzone: When you said "It's a little like putting a convicted criminal in charge of the Home Office", you reminded me of Martin McGuiness being appointed Education Minister for Northern Ireland. :oD
Most of the health professionals that I see set poor examples. Maybe they see 'healthcare' (i.e. drugs, vaccines and surgical procedures) as an alternative to actually caring for their own health.
if low 300s, why not £2, or £1?
@Jing72 - I've also seen it all before. City boys do it get it wrong sometimes. See bp for example: it was under 200p in Oct 2020 and less than two years later it is 460p. Holders got a nice quarterly dividend too.
"I’m kind of hoping if we go down to about £4.20 and flush out the sellers, then buybacks drag us back up to above £4.30."
Last week's buybacks are under water now. Many shareholders are nursing personal losses, holding shares in a company that even loses on its buybacks. While Bernard goes grinning around the world...
This could easily happen in the current quarter or month.
Monaco posted in: BP. on 26 April with price @ 371.45p:
"I expect that 450p price four quarters earlier than you, so Q3 of this year"
