All of the sites in what area?

My original post referred to only half the country's practises and didn't include any hospitals .

Following the analogy you've applied suggests administer and monitor is a 15 minute process by one person, but you don't need the same person for this. Another practitioner can administer or monitor, there is just a little bit of forward planning needed. At the end of the day the practises will be able to set up separate flow lines, space permitting, to enable the roll out at a much increased rate. They will also be paid for additional temporary staff to enable this accelerated approach to operate.

Whatever the policy Government applies to get on top of this pandemic, they are wholly in the hands of the public who will follow or ignore depending on age, political leaning or belief that the state is trying to control them. Photos of cities full of shoppers and revellers, many choosing not to wear masks tell their own stories. There is undoubtedly a belief amongst a proportion that something you can't see or touch can't be dangerous, particularly if you are young and fit.

Many hope and pray that the vaccine is rolled out quickly, particularly the elderly who have had to endure a terribly lonely year. If only half the health practises across the country had access to a doctor or nurse that could give vaccine injections every five minutes and take advantage of the shutdown, then assuming access to sufficient vaccines, half a million people a day could theoretically be vaccinated. Practises have given the flu vaccine to masses and a production line where no one comes into contact with anyone else apart from doctor/patient works very well.

Sorry to differ with you but the EU is a protected trading block that we paid heavily to be a member of. We had some wonderful trading arrangements that we ditched when we joined the EU. Fortunately, the countries we ditched managed to replace the trade we took away most successfully and have flourished since that time.

Just so we don't forget, Lloyds are sitting in possession of the 2019/20 dividend and a large portion of the 2018/19 share buyback which is a dividend by another name. Whatever happens in 2020/21, the Board needs reminding who own the company.

Petit Micron has an election looming and he is already very unpopular. He has to be seen to support the fishing fleets otherwise he will be toast. It's a lot of grandstanding rather than logical exchange of ideas and solutions. The biggest failure is that business representatives are never part of discussions, just politicians with large egos and one eye on their electorate.

Aston Martin are sponsoring Racing Point and the cars will be rebranded as Aston Martin and run their traditional green livery as seen on their GTE cars, but with pink as well! An interesting combination. AML will also provide the safety car and medical cars at Grands Prix, alternating with AMG. This last point is worth millions in sponsorship alone when you consider how frequent safety car periods are during GPs.

I believe, RetiredCopper, the PPI cost for Lloyds is around £21 Billion.

Seven months ago the Board promised that all questions submitted to the AGM that weren't read out would be formally answered in writing. Knowing how companies like to say they never received an email, I sent 5 different questions in advance of the May meeting. Needless to say, I have not received a single answer.

When the Bof E told the Banks to cancel their dividends at the beginning of April, I wrote 17 emails and received one very standard reply from Mr Sunak's department. About par for the course.

Transport for London, the organisation under the control of London's useless mayor and bailed out by the Government, awarded numerous bonuses in March this year which were then deferred due to the virus. Notice the word deferred. The bonuses will be paid in June next year as we can't have the dears missing out.

Lloyd's cancelled our dividends from 2019/20, they did not defer them. So the money still sits in their coffers, as indeed does the unspent £600 million from 2018/19 which was being used for share buy back but could just as easily be paid as a dividend. The Board therefore has a duty to inform shareholders about money held within the company from three different financial years. I fortunately dumped the major part of my holding at the time of the cancelled dividend and have done far better as a result. But I still expect answers from a frankly discredited bank who for some years have provided a very average CEO with a very healthy salary, shares and pension fund. I for one am very pleased to see you go, Osorio. There's been a complete lack of imagination at the helm of Lloyds for a considerable time.

Current market cap is around £1.7 Billion.

My favourite and most beautiful car is the Ferrari P4. But the XJR racers come a very close second and I could have my arm twisted quite easily.

I used to work for a man who was a diehard Jaguar enthusiast. Must have rubbed off me as I run one and the electrics are crap. Besides that, he changed his XJS every two years and one time he had the TWR bodykit and wheels fitted. Really liked that. He used to go to Le Mans every year and eventually through TWR, he was able to celebrate two lovely victories.

I used to go down to Silverstone during the era of Porsche, Jaguar and Mercedes and they were heady days. The crowds would just erupt when Jaguars won and it gave a great sense of pride for some time afterwards.

I also used to follow the ETC with the Vitesses against the XJSs plus the Volvos and BMWs. They were great days and we were proud of our British heritage. Tom was a very clever and dedicated man and left us at a far too young an age, as indeed did Roger Clark and Tony Pond. You can watch incar footage from a TWR XJS when it went down under and conquered Mount Panarama. Well worth finding and watching.

The racing XJRs were beautiful machines and many are still run by enthusiasts with deep pockets today. There's nothing like a V12 and I get weak knees when I see and hear a V12 Vantage today. But I would settle for a V8 or an affordable XJR9 clone or similar. Truly beautiful.

There are still a goodly number of models out there which are still affordable which will rise in value in the years ahead. Limited production performance cars which were used by the factory in competition are always a good bet.

It's a sensitive question so I guess they'll be doubly careful about any leaks.

Interesting the questions that were posed about the Vantage's styling. They mirrored what a lot of us feel about the front end, lights, price and infotainment. The response ignored most of the criticism and just focused on the optional grille treatment. I wonder if this signals that something is going on within and is too sensitive to reveal yet - i.e, Reichman's position and status.

MFGX, thanks for the clarity.

Dunnie, you don't even know if that related to share dealing, but irrespective you're giving an uncalled for opinion on something that's not your business. Christmas is coming and we all just want to see this share fly.

The report places emphasis on the production of conventional fuel not being used in the comparison between electric and ICE, so it would become interesting if the ICE car used the Porsche developed synthetic fuel.

Porsche have just announced the above which they say will be avaiable within 2 years. I haven't read the article as I don't subscribe to the Telegraph, but no doubt the report will be available very quickly elsewhere.
