MVarawa, message to the young, If you think you are smarter than the previous generation…..50 years ago the owner's manual of a car showed you how to adjust the valves. Today it warns you not to drink the contents of the battery.
Enough said.

UPDATE 28 July 2021 – Nationwide House Price Index
Average UK house price stands at £244,229 in July 2021, down 0.5% from June.
The figures are always there to believe what you want...... it's called statistics, you can do what you want with them.

Hope, just looked it up. -

All the evils in the world were scattered from Pandora's jar, while the one potentially mitigating force, hope, remains locked securely inside. ... To that end, he gives man hope. In truth, it is the most evil of evils because it prolongs man's torment."

The last three word's.......very apt

After that vote last June, Löfven became the first Swedish leader ever to lose a motion in parliament.
It's the Swedish equivalent of hari kari, he couldn't stand the shame lol.

The party is more important than the man, steady as she goes and don't do anything too reckless before September next year.
Nothing to get excited about, but we can only hope.
Hope, wasn't that the only thing left in Pandora's box?

SCB, the fountain of all knowledge throwing his toys out of the pram. Sounds like someone spiked his bottle and he woke up with a sore head.

I see calls on here for an end to our current parliamentary process and replace it with….what?
Topical I guess, as Sturgeon has just done a power sharing deal with the greens to ensure an overall majority. I note it's not a coalition but should keep the SNP for the duration if there's a vote of no confidence.
Two lefty party's with the lunatic greens, what could possibly go wrong.

Any thoughts of PR here as an alternative should be given careful thought. It's just a means of minority party's propping each other up with a hotchpotch of policies that usually ends up, either breaking down or a standoff of implementing anything especially in response to a crisis.
Have a look at the Swedish system, a good example of a PR at work…. not.

"Like Tesco where there is steady Growth
no risk"
Yup, steady growth alright.
If I remember correctly didn't they have some problems back in 2014 adding up numbers, some sort of accounting issues?
Took a time to get back on track.

Too much time in n the John Logie Baird, Brixton?

Yeah, for my sins I still have 18.5k MKS shares which I don't follow to much. But hey they seemed to advanced over 13.5% today.
I noticed they had made a move first thing, was gonna write 10% so I thought I'd better check....13.5% funny old game.

They're already in talks with national and regional builders, there are deal's to be done even before the footings are laid.

"Germany have a huge rental market ,not many own houses there"
That was because not many could afford them, it was quite common for mortgages to be handed down from father to son.
If they keep rising, the same could happen over here.
Could be a long term shrewd move for LBG.

One of the present Government's commitments is to support the housing sector.
With the latest Lloyds announcement regarding their commitment to buying housing stock perhaps they are doing what they do best….. supporting the government.
Start on that pending knighthood early, ring any bells anyone?

"only lower its going. 3% drop across ftse possible today."

I guess Nuri, you'll take what you consider to be the worse case scenario on the day, when you've just sold. It could also finish positive on the day, but of course we won't mention that.
In short anything is possible.
Just saying.

This share can be likened to one Joseph Robinette Biden Jr, the 46th US president.
There are longish periods of little movement in what can only be described as 'resting' (camp David). Followed by a brief flurry of 'activity' (briefing to the nation). Then the inevitable retreat back to camp David.

The common denominator between the two is that when the SP moves to the next level, up or down, it can move as quick as sleepy Joe's exit from a press conference to avoid questions from the press he was preaching to.

Be patient, the next level is nearly upon us, and just like Mr Biden, up or down, nobody has a clue.

Don't get too serious, it's only money.

"ESG window dressing"
Somebody or someone has to pay for this new ESG miracle, it might as well be Lloyds shareholders, just look how we've contributed to the wellbeing of many in the past.

"51p, Which year?"
Littleaston, that would be the same year RDSB connect's to +£20 again.

Seems he wants to get to know Lloyds and the business, he's got a lot to learn so he's off on a round of jolly's for a few months.
Not 'hitting the ground' running then.
Didn't mention the shareholders but wants to assist the government, draw your own conclusions.
Time will tell.

IMHO, I detect a song there, am I correct?

UK house prices dropped 0.3% month on month in August, according to Rightmove. First decline in house prices this year.

0.3%, wonder what the margin of error is on that data.

Baffled, I believe the term I used was "comparatively new LSE members" deliberately avoiding the term newbie.

Who would disagree with your comments about executive pay and options, the them and us attitude continues. However the buybacks are not implemented for the express preserve of the B of D.
As for the general malaise of the executive roundabout, sadly this is still ongoing despite the outcry not only from the masses but also various government officials.
