I have to say that LSE is fooked completely, it's almost like they're suffering with a virus......

LSX says up 14.29%, Google finance says up 20.71% and LSE says down 3.13%, no wonder people get confused. However, as the LSX has been consistent all day, I'll go with their up 14.29% as do Hargreaves Lansdown.

You're probably right about that Troa, I think my mind is still set in 2018/19 mode when I thought we'd be in profit soon and I could move on a bit. However, such is life and we're suffering the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune for the time being. Let's hope things improve before too much longer?

On the BBC news talking about Emilie's baby bank service. The girls doing it on her own, bless her, I hope she gets some recognition when things become more normal?
During the report, I did see a line of budgie smugglers hanging out in an allotment being used as bird scarers, very strange!!

Just spoke to HSBC and they confirmed that they will not process any Bed & ISA transactions either manually or automatically for the foreseeable future. Typically, by the time it'll become possible to to do a B&I, Wres's SP might have risen to a point where it won't be so advantageous....a bit like today really....and to those who keep selling on a rise...PACK IT IN!!!!

Yes Troa, I'm having trouble with LSE not working as it should as well. Note that double 14m trade a bit earlier, could be an ISA B&B possibly? I rang HSBC this morning and they're restricting their investment service slightly and say they won't do B&B packages on the phone until further notice. I guess I'll see what happens if I try by secure email. Hope all is okay with you?

Morning all. I must say I'm surprised that there hasn't been an news regarding the resumption of operations at La Parrilla. Perhaps MM has been struck down with the virus, or maybe some of the key operatives that are pivotal in restarting production?
As usual, we'll find out eventually. Hope you're all safe and well?

No copper Woosie, we gave up on that.

It looks like there might be a bit of buying interest at the moment in anticipation of MM releasing an RNS stating that La Parrilla has been given the go ahead to resume operations. Of course, being MM, he won't be quick out of the blocks on this unless he's more concerned with getting things up and running first? Let's just wait and see?

It gladdens me old ticker to see another blue day, red was really p***ing me off, let's just hope it carries on? Mind you, it's slightly scuppering me ISA plan but not too much at the moment.

Blimey, you ain't got the job yet and you're already getting delusions of grandeur. No, keep Buck House for the people , move Madge and Phil to Sandringham then convert the palace into a hospital or better still, sheltered accommodation for the poor old sods of Westminster, Kensington and Chelsea!

Dreamy, now that you're in charge (in theory that is), could you abolish the unelected, money grabbing, policy blocking, over privileged House of bleeding Lords. If there is one thing that is now so out dated apart from Bob's Speedos, that have passed their useful purpose?

Franny, a few days ago Hbob was expressing his feelings as is Dreamy about the way the government is handling this crisis, but neither of them could name anyone credible that would do a better job. It would appear then that the wrong people are in politics, the wrong people are in cabinet posts or, most likely, we just dont have the people in this country who have the make up to become a politician with backbone and are not in it solely for self promotion and glory.

Morning all. By all accounts, those that are deemed to be vulnerable to Covid-19, should have received a letter by 30th March. Myself, like many on here, fall into that category, but I am yet to receive this letter and I'm wondering how many others are still waiting? I can only assume there is a massive backlog of new and existing cases to be dealt with, my hope is though they're not doing it alphabetically? Still nice to see Wres has inched a bit further up the greasy pole they seem to be on at the moment, I call it the "Reverse Fireman", and you won't find that one in the Kama Sutra!!

And a fourth...

Yet another Price Monitoring Extension, could that be to do with that reversal, or is there something else going on?

In the 1946 film, The Best Years of Our Lives, a US Air Force veteran walks through a vast scrapyard full of redundant WW2 aircraft that are being scrapped. As a lot of you will know, in the US in particular, there are vast amounts of military and civilian aircraft, transport vehicles lying in desert scrapyards all waiting their turn for the crusher. What i would find horrific, is that when this pandemic is finally conquered, there are mountains of nearly new beds, respirators , PPE etc in fields and warehouses waiting to be either sold or scrapoed because the NHS now has no use or no hospital space to use them. It's a problem which will inevitably occur but one which has yet to be even given consideration at this time. I just hope it all ends up being used and maintained for many years to come?

Morning all. Blimey, the SP is bucking the trend......'ang on, what's the date...oh yeah, it's April 1st. and there I was thinking it was real, silly me!!

I know what's gone Wong with Wres, it's those Hansource blokes, they're Chinese, I bet they've put some sort of curse on the company cos they lost money (I assume) which was their own fault by all (late) accounts?

There are two trades for 44,305,000, one at 14:09:11 and one at 14:09:40. Obviously, this is too much for LSE to keep up with once again!!
