Woke up today feeling a lot better,knowing brexiteers do have a plan B if it doesn't work out.
That being,the French/Germans hate us,Corbyn is refusing to meet Trump and will make a complete mess of things and we have global geographical significance.
I like the last one,the scrapyard man was saying the same yesterday when i paid over the odds for a door trim,"this door trim will never fall off,it's got global geographical significance".

It's a bit of a lie saying the money is being returned to shareholders if 50% in 2018 was spent on buying shares for the company awarded share scheme?

What if brexit doesn't work out,what if the trade deals don't materialise and controlled immigration floods in.......
What will we do then,do you have a plan B or do we live on a wing and a prayer?

What an unusual chart,should have realised at mid-day PFC at 486p was getting in front of itself.Still,if we finish 470p plus that will be a bonus.Incidentally did anyone else notice first thing for about 2 mins it didn't want to fall!

Love_You,all consumers rich or poor are moving away from the weekly food shop to smaller more frequent purchases.A few pence here and there which can be a big margin on food is overlooked by the consumer.
The "city" doesn't like Sainsbury's but this business has a NAV per share of 278p,lets see how the results unfold next Wednesday.

Mickey,from what i gather you believe small is beautiful and strength is derived from separating into smaller units.
I don't agree with that but i do agree with your view the EU will end,however as it currently stands i would say it's more likely the UK will split first.

Low 480's even high 470's are fine to hold for tomorrow's ex div.If it rose to near 500p i might sell and buy Thursday on early morning dip which i believe will be short lived,IMHO.

Boomer,only 250yrs.The Romans brought over this technology 2000yrs ago but ancient Briton decided to reject it,because it was foreign.
History does repeat itself.

Well i was always led to believe the bank's margin would increase with higher interest rates.Must be reading too many BBC reports again.

When you think about it PFC reported a former employee admitted bribery in a RNS on the 7th of February and its taken two and a half months for the Iraqi oil ministry to respond.
The whole thing's contrived.

What i find strange Bruce is the whimpish response from leavers like yourself believing the UK cannot raise interest rates.We've tried 3 yrs of devalued currency and exports have gone nowhere.

Can you not see the low value of Lloyds and the other UK banks over the last 10yrs has a relationship to low interest rates.

For Lloyds and the other banks your better off trying to discover how the UK is going to give up it's addiction to low interest rates,it's a massive subject and has greater impact than brexit.
Someone here said "debt just brings labour forward" which i still cannot understand,debt to me brings consumption forward and commitment.The late 80's brought on by Thatcher encouraged the masses to debt,loadsofmoney,look at my wad culture.The positive side to manipulating the masses to debt is commitment,once they are caught in the trap you can then control the pressure by interest rates and you know you have a willing work force to pay off the debt.The question now is can we raise the pressure a bit,we have full employment,albeit casual work,low productivity but could we get a few more hours out of them.We've just stung them from the 1st of April for more private pension contributions so any rise has to be carefully implemented but 0.5% by end of year would be nice and a little bonus for savers!

Calisto,you stopped me in my tracks with this one....".we have had the poor side of the "trade deal" for 40 years".
We've had an open free trade agreement,best man wins.The consumer was never forced to buy European goods but they did!

Boomer,the 4 freedoms which leavers don't like,are unadulterated capitalism,how can you accuse them of being anti-capitalist?
As for UK coal,it's over,smaller generation with storage is the way ahead and to get back onto the subject of what Lloyds and the other banks need, it's a small but gradual rise in interest rates,what a message that would send to international investor.

Bruce,your on the ball today.

Bet its 11m tons for 2018! and Woodhouse coal is not for energy,it's for the steel industry.

Boomer,UK coal is finished.Many of those deep mine pits have been flooded for more than 40yrs,to start afresh would require massive subsidies and would be pointless for the UK which only consumes 11m tonnes per annum.
No way around it,the UK is a net importer of fuel using less fossil fuels will help our balance of payments and is therefore patriotic.

The UK is a net importer of gas 46%,oil 35% and coal 57% so switching to a 100% British source of energy (renewables) is patriotic.
I've switched to Shell energy 100% renewables and a better deal for low consumption,our's is 3kwh a day.

OK,we've all had a laugh at the "soap dodgers" but switching to low carbon would actually be good for the UK's balance of payments and Labours ambition to increase renewables 7 fold would make us a world leader and get the interconnectors flooding in the right direction.Countries that get in first with new technology tend to hold that lead.

Only 1.6%,same percentage as UK exports to South Korea.If we're not prepared to accept EU regulations within the UK then how can you have an open border.Colombian trade is well less than 1% lets have an open border with them and just see what comes in!.

Bruce,the border didn't work well from 1922.We are the masters of hushing things up and the pressure cooker blew up in our face in the late 1960's.Borders don't work well when they split communities.

Bit of a discrepancy here,none of you like unelected officials particularly EU ones yet your happy for public services to be run by the private sector.
Just one example is the 11 million people now renting in the private sector,in the past if they didn't like the way council housing was run at least they could vote them out,what do you really want?
