TheFarEnd, do you shop frequently in Poundland?

Dorfan, you're on filter.

I can't be bothered with stupid people!

Stop spoofing Dorfan!

Please quote what statistics I have referenced that are incorrect?

You are spoofing Dorfan!

Gosh, look what the cat dragged in!

Been to Poland over 20 times and it's a great country as are its People. They also showed their metal during WW II.

Freddie01, thanks for posting that!

Provides very good insights onto lloyds!

"Germany's parliament, the BUNDSTEG, has voted to introduce voluntary military service, in a move aimed at boosting national defences after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine."

Lads, Europe is changing lads and how long 'tll it comes in the UK?

Sure it's not about lloyds, but we've got to be mindful about what is going around us....

I'm reflecting on what I read here and I'm not finding it very illumating.

I am down from over 2000% gain to about a 1600% gain. I checked last week and it is thereabouts.

Now I don't know what the management of this outfit are doing, but they should get their house in order.

3i are my all time star buy!

tfe, i am quite happy to engage with anyone who is polite on this board, even conservatives (but they are about to go extinct with the prediction of 15 mps at the next election and even reform uk supporters, who must now acknowledge that their leader is a confirmed antisemite and ******, so little hope now that he will lead the country, after the next election, as his past has caught up with him, thank goodness, as he would wreck the economy, this country and nhs.

as you correctly point out i have no issue with brixton and i used to enjoy his updates on bob the perch i think it was in his pond.

on to lloyds and the subject of the thread... it does seem that lloyds are fully embracing this new ai technology in their business.

"Lloyds Banking Group is pushing for an overhaul of the UK financial system to put customer deposits on the blockchain, a shift that its chief executive said could help redesign how Britons buy and sell homes."

"Nunn told the Financial Times’ Global Banking Summit: “If you blend these two technologies together, if you think about digital assets and tokenised deposits with AI, you can suddenly redesign significant parts of financial services.”

Calling Brixton! Calling Brixton! Calling Brixton!

You've been AWOL long enough!

Time to report in!

I don't want to wander off the topic of lloyds, but I do hold UK housebuilders as well as banks and construction activity does feed into the UK economy and lloyds., so I do see it as relevant in this contract, whilst side stepping the immigrants rabbit hole.

Certainly in London, the building industry was dominated by the irish, but the irish were displaced by east Europeans, who would work for lower wages. The drop from an exchange rate of 1.4 sterling to euro made it very unattractive for many mainland Europeans. Irelands economy is booming, as is its housing/construction sector, as is the case with Poland. Why would these people leave their home countries, to have the to face racism and anti-semite abuse from Farage and his unemployed Reform UK supporters. The labour/skills shortage in the UK is down to lazy Brits on benefits who don't want to work, so you got what you voted for!

Democracy at work folks and you made the wrong choices to foster economic growth!

TFE in denial still, o well...

KUMS, everyone is waiting for us to hit 100p, apart from those who sold out and now can't live with themselves.

I guess fair deuce to them for taking their profit.

MrAltruistic, "Yes... Perhaps commenced on Black Friday this year. Yes... Perhaps commenced on Black Friday this year."

I think I would argue that the Santa rally from 2023 never ended!

Some kind of glitch in the matrix, I recon!

Dec 27th 2023 = 153p

05/12/25 = 440p

"Very weird site Lloyds Banking Group at record high and the posters have abandon the forum :}"

Yes chips and very easy to spot the trolls, who will poat about anything other than lloyds...

Notwithstanding, let's see if we hit 98p tomorrow!

MrAltruistic, i though it had already started...

Charlie Nunn, the lloyds CEO, says that, "although Lloyds had grown its “sanctioned lending” — approved lending to businesses — by 20 per cent year on year, the majority has not been drawn down."

Clearly this lack of economic confidence amongst businesses is going impact on the lloyds bottom line and dividend income shareholders receive ultimately... Maybe its only marginal, but it does not bode well in the wider sense.

Lloyds bank are clearly doing what the can to encourage growth by businesses but it takes two to tango...

Folks, given the rather dubious pedigree of some of the authors on the quoted website, please do your own research, take this article with a pinch of salt, but we can still dream and the author might just be correct...!

"Will the Lloyds share price double in 2026?"

"I don’t think many people were expecting Lloyds‘ (LSE:LLOY) share price to deliver the stunning gains we’ve seen so far in 2025."

"Up 75%, the FTSE 100 bank has left its blue-chip rivals like Barclays (+63%), HSBC (+37%) and NatWest (59%) trailing in its dust."

"There are a lot of good reasons to believe the bank’s shares could soar again next year."
