Livestock, if lloyds falls owing toa general IT issue, it is always an opportunity for all those negative ramperson here to buy back in, as they erroneously sold up!

Silver lining in every clowd!

Sean, sure the amount is not the concern, but the negative press it generates.

"Liquidators of Arena Television, the failed outside broadcast business at the centre of what has been called Britain’s ‘largest ever’ asset-based lending fraud, are suing Lloyds Banking Group for up to £285m."

That won't help the shares price. How many more skeletons there in the closet, waiting to come out???

The Orkneys, Iona and seeing some the many standing stones they have like oglam stones dolmens etc., along with soaking up a bit of the fine music they have up there, but alas, not to be. Instead I'll be off abroad somewhere. Malta, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic or Moldova likely candidates. I just have to balance decide which one or maybe a couple, in one trip. Regardless, enjoy your time in Scotland!

Dublinrory, actually i was also looking at a 10 day break in Scotland in August. I've never really been up there much and fancied visiting th

Tax bicycles and fines for improper road usage!

I really must compliment both leeRex and hardup on how curious you both have become in recent exchanges.

Speaking of Scotland, in the last few days I just checked out the cost of a 10 day holiday there. I'd need to remortgage the @#%ing house to afford one there. No wonder folks go abroad, as they are both cheaper, and better value for money.

It's like there is some kind of psychological barrier preventing it breaking thru 60p. We just need a burst of good news...

"esday as Wall Street raised its bets that sky-high borrowing rates could come down in the fall.

The Dow surged by 743 points, or 1.9%, closing at a fresh all-time high and notching its best daily percentage gain since June 2023. The S&P 500 gained 0.6%, closing at a record high, and the Nasdaq Composite rose 0.2%."

Should feed thru to London today. Waiting patiently for lloyds to start climbing in the 60s.

Mick, l'm hoping Biden gets the boot and we get a strong candidate thatcan stand against Trump.

From review NW look more attractive, but with spare cash will have to look at other sectors, as already a large chunk of my holdings, are in the banking sector.

But what is not to like. We have a left wing government in power for 8 to 12 years, giving us economic stability, with the benefit of a socialist ideology to make the UK a more inclusive and equal society. Isn't it just great!

LeeRex, and everyone else, we now have active trading. I would prefer to see discussion relating to lloyds, not a pile of political crap, that has nothing to do with lloyds shares.

LeeRex, I am now bored with your constant rantings about immigration/migration, whatever you want to call it. You are now back on filter, for a while.

"Since 2018, the nationals of five countries – Iran, Albania, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria – have made up two-thirds of those crossing in small boats"

LeeRex, please come back, when you know what you are talking about...

Morning hardup, I was addressed directly by Gunsup, with a question. I provided him with the clarification he sought. Something intrinsically wrong with that?

But hardup, I have a question for you now.

If there are clowns on here, why do you keep on coming back to the circus?

The Democrats do!

Absolutely iconic image, there is total panic now behind the scenes trying to get Biden out!

LeeRex, as long you have clear that carbon in a compound, which undergoes a chemical reaction is RELEASED not CREATED, we have made enough progress for today!
