88, this is not facebook, so we really don't need constant updates about your golf outings, lunch time activities or holidays abroad...

Are you just seeking validation?

88, 05/06/26 @ 10:27, "Personally I am expecting many rollercoater moments in that sector..imo there will be some companies who fail..but some great successes...the higher it goes the more severe the dips will seem"

All possible scenarios covered then 88?

Is anyone actually going to admit to liking this puerile repetitive nonsense from 88?

Yawn!

Talk about stating the obvious!

Another pointless post!

-Zelensky wants to meet Putim.

- Trump wants to meet Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei.

Lads I think the markets and Lloyds shares could rocket, very soon!!!

I can see Lloyd's reaching 110p to 115p within weeks, if 'events' go our way.

Asimpleinvestor, the post by Gray is one sided, not balanced, simply that!

Gray, why do you waste everyone's time with this rubbish you write?

Troublesome, you are behind with your news feeds.

Troublesome, only posting this as it impact the oil price and the markets hence lloyds, but H were not involved in the agreement and have now stated, not unsurprisingly, they will not comply with it!

Risey, I have just pinged my UK stock broker, so let's see what they say....

Troublesome, it needs to be 5%+!

Troublesome, the oil price going up tells its own story and that is all I'll say...

Troublesome, oil price up again and globally oil reserves are being depleted!

At some point this is going to come to a head.

Just taking the case of the USA, crude oil and petroleum product inventories have fallen to their lowest level in over two decades

"Some of Britain’s largest banks, including Lloyds Banking Group, Lloyds Bank, HSBC, Nationwide Building Society, NatWest Group, NatWest and Santander UK, are set to gain or expand access to OpenAI’s GPT-5.5 Cyber model as regulators intensify scrutiny of how financial institutions test, govern and secure AI-enabled systems."

As far as I used it, AI has proven to be useful.

Looks like it is increasingly going to be a part of our lives, most of the time unseen.

I would like to see an 'opt out' option for AI, where possible.

But looks like the banks have now latched onto it, so difficult to stop 'progress' then...

'risey', if you hold shares in BIRG in the London Stock Exchange, you should get a communication from your UK stock broker. I've copied and pasted parts of the communication I received below for your information.

"The board of Bank Of Ireland Group Plc has announced proposals to cancel the company’s ordinary shares from trading on the London Stock Exchange with effect from 29 June 2026 and remain solely listed on the Euronext Dublin exchange, subject to shareholder approval at an annual general meeting (AGM) to be held on 21 May 2026.

To allow further trades in Bank Of Ireland Group Plc shares following delisting, we will transfer your shares from the LSE listed line to the Euronext Dublin listed line on or shortly after 29 June 2026.

The board has also announced proposals to make an offer to shareholders of 30 shares or fewer to repurchase the shares by way of an odd lot offer over the next 18 months. If you hold 30 shares or fewer we will contact you if an opportunity to sell your shares as part of the repurchase offer becomes available."

"Your overall holding in Bank Of Ireland Group Plc will not change. Following the listing transfer, when you view the stock on your account and buy or sell shares, the price will be shown in EUR instead of GBP. All future trades will be placed at our overseas share dealing rates. Full details of our overseas dealing service are available at ..."

"If you wish to sell your holding before the proposed listing cancellation and do not wish to hold the Euronext Dublin listed line of stock, you must do so before 4:30pm on Friday 26 June 2026. The trade will be placed in accordance with our terms and conditions and subject to our standard commission rates. To sell these shares please visit our website. Please note that although xxxxxx will endeavour to sell your shares it may not be possible to sell all, or even any, of your shares if a market for the shares no longer exists."

To answer your question, no BIRG will not be traded in London any longer after the 26th of June.

"I initiated a transfer from the new provider, giving (what I assumed) were the correct details of the Lloyds cash ISA: Account #, Name, Sortcode etc. It's an instant access account with no notice or other issues to worry about, so I'd assumed it'd be complete fairly quickly.

The transfer request from other provider eventually fails, because Lloyds don’t reply in a timely manner and that's all they can tell me."

Troajan, last year I went back to cash where possible.

These banking cannot sabotage my day to day spending.

In Spain, there was a major power outage last year, if you remember.

Nobody could buy anything as they were all so locked into their technology and not a cent in their pockets.

But what I have noticed is that some shops struggle to accept cash or even find the right change.

Technology has it place in our lives and in banking, but we most definitely should not let it take over!

"Thousands of customers of Lloyds Banking Group have reported problems with accessing online banking."

"In March, almost half a million of its customers saw other people's transactions or had their own data shared after an IT glitch."

There you have it folks, lock yourself into the new technology and then the tech crashes and nothing.

I am also careful not to use any cloud services provided by any organisation.

We have seen so many data breaches from multiple organisations, it is better just to keep you data and private information on your PC or better a pen drive you can remove, unless you specifically need access it!

Gunsup, lloyds and other high street banks disappearing from out high street is an inevitable consequence of new technology, cost saving and the decline of our town centres.

Gunsup, "Good thing / bad thing you decide."

That depends on who you are...
