Was expecting this one to bounce around today but like you say paul it seems to have settled down.Have hedge funds given up on making money?
Still,sold half of holding because i just get the feeling their letting it rise so they sell some expensive ones,they run the show ere.

Just wait for a substantial rejection on the 11th Dec and a plan B will spring up from nowhere and the markets will like it.
If it's a close rejection and they push for a second vote,arm twisting etc,then the markets wont like that.

Tricky,the war's over,communism is dead and the UK has a hire/fire arrangement for low paid workers or just make them freelance/self employed.
Were we have a problem is the shortage of skilled workers (train drivers etc),who still have the power to disrupt.
Industry and government must take responsibility for not providing sufficient numbers via training,i don't believe you could blame trade unions for this?

Free trade with China would be the end of British manufacturing.We struggle with free trade with Europe.Deficit is £70bn and they have 2 hr siesta's and weekends off.
Boomer you said it earlier,when all this brexit is over we need to sort out some problems right here but don't blame the workers,organised labour died 30yrs ago.

ps,finance has been doing alright.

If she loses by a significant number,plus 20 say,whats the point of flogging a dead horse 2 weeks before Christmas.
Most people like to clear the decks this time of year.
I think she still has something up her sleeve that will settle things down and then fall on her sword.Yes her going will upset the market but if her final act reduces the uncertainty then a positive finish to end of year.
She's done all the hard work of delaying tactics,2.5yrs of it!

VOD graph better than watching a film!

Thanks for reminding us as to what he said,ha!

Juncker's final words on deal was it's the best deal you'll get.Wouldn't you think Junckers endorsement would be a red rag to a brexiteer bull.
I think the EU/May plan is for us to reject it and as no deal is madness at this late stage,it has to be no brexit.

The EU wont punish us,it will be Westminster that punishes,if they vote for this deal which everyone knows will make us poorer than remaining.
With regards to the £39bn this is the net figure after deducting the value of our assets otherwise it would have been €100bn

A date for the diary
"The Bank of England has acknowledged that there was no need, therefore, to make the tests any tougher than last year, raising hopes of positive outcomes when the numbers are delivered at 0700 GMT on Nov. 28.

North sea oil had its day.It's an expensive place to extract whats left.The average consumer wants cheap oil from anywhere in the world.
The general public do want to see more green energy and the UK's continental shelf could allow us to tap into 2,000Gw of wind power at £57 per Mwh and falling.
In Canada 58% of electricity comes from hydro and standard tariffs are as low as 6p a unit in Quebec/Manitoba and 10% of all electricity is sold to the US through the interconnectors raising $2bn of revenue.

I agree with zoro,UK focused will rise,but flat to small rise for rest assuming pound rallies.One less hurdle to cross.

Pops mate,you mentioned MI6 earlier.We've got a hundred boffins down ere at the doughnut trying to decipher you messages plus this Oxo kid.
The guys are at wits end to fathom any meaning,although if the tanker was full of gold we've calculated it would sink without trace.
Can you give us a clue,is it anything to do with Brexit or even lloyds?

Pops,you remind me of my father in law who visited Germany 34 times in the war but never in peace time.
Typical northern,even in his later life when he struggled to walk he would argue over a parking spot and use his walking stick as an offensive weapon.
Nothing held him back,probably because his eardrums were burst for which they finally gave him a disability allowance 40yrs after the event.
He was the loudest man in the pub because of it and his views on Thatcher went down a treat down south??

Pops,very true.Was worried about you last night,had you fallen off the bar stool!.

Can't explain it jr.I've been waking up positive for the last 4 days now.Could it be this electric shock treatment,don't know.
Far to much hitting nails on heads so far,whats wrong with screwing or getting screwed over.I see our swamp has become deeper and darker than America's.This isn't a competition,pull the plug out,no not the sink the bloody electric one.
Ahhhh thats better.
What we need to know, has Theresa got a plan B for parliamentary rejection otherwise thats a long 3 weeks for markets to chew over it.Would like to think she's prepared for such an event,prehaps she'll surprise us.

Good idea jr,best yet.Don't give May a pen.Why not hammer her fingers or the next time she's playing the piano at number 10 slam the lid down.
Once we've left we could turn the whole story into a film,"how the UK got shafted by Juncker".Think of the royalties and Theresa could sell the book and do signings by then if her fingers had recovered.
With signed copies for sale and commemorative mugs the withdrawal treaty well and truly on the tourist map in the Tower of London we'd recover the £39 bn in a flash as long as we still have open borders!

Pops,i always get the feeling your propping up a bar somewhere even if its one of those Vera & Jack Duckworth cocktail bars at home.
Incidentally had one in the shed of despair from former times.Made a pretty penny on it too.

Boomer,found this-"Sir Amyas Morse, auditor general of the National Audit Office, told MPs on Tuesday that the divorce payment will become legally binding as soon as both parties sign the Withdrawal Treaty, which is likely to happen at least two years before any trade deal is struck."So currently we can walk.However when these figures on divorce first came up the FT was talking about €100bn gross and falling to €55bn-€74bn net,so £39bn is a good deal spread over decades.
Lloyds paid out £20bn of PPI in 7 yrs and we hardly noticed it!

jr,you have to respect the "will of the people".95.9% of the people wanted to remain within the EU you have to let them go with that percentage.England with 53.4% to leave gets this watered down version,lol.

Hard luck Scotland.

What dozy cow let this one slip into the 3rd Q update on international construction " particularly in the UAE where a strengthened oil price provides a more favourable backdrop for this competitive market."The oil price has been dropping since the 1st of October.
If i can't believe the above,truthfully does the company have a pensions surplus of £32m or cash in hand at interims of £194m?.
No more cheap pasting off some previous report please.Rant over.
