UK car manufacturing, we're well on the way, total UK production for April 197 cars.

Baylan's only got another 15/16 month's before the next general election, take out the two long summer holidays plus the usual parliamentary breaks, that doesn't leave that long to 'string it out', the rate the Swedish move.
If for any unexpected reason he comes under pressure to deliver he can be replaced then it's back to square one as the new man needs time to familiarise himself with the situation he finds himself in.
Plus it's obvious by now the the granting of this exploration concession is not top of their agenda.

You can say what you want about lbjj he's absolutely correct in saying "I've been right for 7 solid years"
I guess it's a bit like the security services saying we have to be right 100% of the time whilst the terrorist only has to be right once. Sadly, even they get it right sometimes.
Like I said I'm not holding my breath but at some stage this has to have a conclusion but not necessarily with Stefan Löfven in charge.
Seems they're not getting too excited about it the other side of the North sea either.

70p plus, but with 160 million shares, somewhat different today don't you think.

I've been here so long don't keep check on it too much, especially in this current market. Surprised to see a slight movement here but it's been upstaged by other 'riser's.'A week today then, not holding my breath. My guess is with the announcement of the new and improved permitting process coinciding with the government's response, BEM will have to comply with any new regs that come with it.But that's just the cynic in me, be nice to wrap this up soon.GLA.

Nice to see you back calisto.

My HL account tells me that I'm 76.8% cash ATM.
The other one, EQi probably the reverse, still trying to make up some losses.
I wouldn't say I'm well positioned but enough to weather the storm...... I hope.

SC, why not pick some bits and take them out of context.
The last word is yours.

Good to know with your infinite wisdom you will fill in the gaps JR... D'oh!

SC, I guess it's the constant SP, current or future, posting on here.
We all know what the current SP is, anyone who is reading this has access to live prices.
As for the future SP no-one knows, however why state a price without supporting it with your reasoning. Sometimes is like a junior school classroom with everyone shouting out at once trying to better the last pupil.
These BB's can be an excellent forum for sharing information, ideas and general info and I'll contribute to that e.g. my post this morning ("More on Co-Co bonds." 08:42). As I said, I learnt something from that but of course JR knew it already.
You may have noticed I don't mind a controversial debate on non Lloyds subjects also.
Everyone has their own style on here and as you know only too well, you can't please everyone......all the time SC.
Enjoy the weather, just like this rally it ain't going to last.

Have you noticed any slight upwards movement and posters go into ecstatic's on here, you can almost feel the excitement that they are trying to generate.I wonder if they are generally excited to, either potentially making some profit, reducing their losses or just want to say something.......anything.Conversely when we reverse the usual names will reappear with their doomster wisdom.I guess one reason is that Lloyds is such a lumbering giant with quarterly statements, half and end year results an AGM with not much in-between.You have to have worked in a bank to understand how they actually function, I haven't. To most they are just a facade on the high street. It's not like most businesses that are selling you tangible goods.To me they're just another outlet to try and make some returns, nothing to get worked up about. But there are plenty of experts on here to make up for my lack of banking knowledge.

These securities, are known as additional tier 1 (AT1) bonds.
AT1 bonds are some of highest risk debt that banks can issue.
They were designed in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis to try to ensure investors, rather than taxpayers, would be on the hook if a bank ran into financial difficulties. I wasn't aware of this.
Banks have typically repaid such bonds at the first opportunity and issued new debt to replace them. But analysts believe many lenders will now pass up the chance.
British bank Lloyds was the latest European lender to take this option last week.
Put the risk back onto investors, Lloyds leads while others follow. If I remember some comments on here when the RNS appeared peeps were in favour of not repaying them. Might want to rethink that.
Who said AHO wasn't doing his job? Seems he's protecting Lloyds.
GLA.

There's still nowhere to go but I see IAG up 20% TUI up over 30%.
Just saying.

I see Slater and Gordon are investigating possible claims for those who invested in Woodford Funds through Hargreaves Lansdown and have lost money after the closure of its Equity Income Fund. Approximately one in four customers may have been affected.
Wasn't invested myself, but Slater and Gordon caught my eye as they are acting against VW group in the diesel gate scandal, which I do have an interest in.

I was wondering about the intrinsic value earlier Barbra.
56p will do me, but there's no harm in wishful thinking.

"In the interim one business after another is moving ever closer to the pit this govt have dug."
Wasn't aware this government have dug anything Theosus, it's a virus.
Every government is doing it's best to support companies, and more importantly employees, yea it maybe futile but what would you have done differently?

P.S. Don't believe too much what the IMF say's. They will be after more cash soon to give away when they should be after what's owed them, sorry, not them but the contributors.
Just saying.

"TFE,Lloyds and other groups always seem to run into trouble and negative publicity, is it telling porkies, schapps or the newly acquired cummings."
It's the always the way here JR, people here don't like winner's. If you're successful folks will always try and bring you down.
If it's politics they will always try and bring you down no matter what.
You would think all Labour supporters would have got use to losing by now they're gluttons for punishment.
If Lloyds ran into trouble, what did all the others do wrong?

Get real mick, we're talking a month or more ago.
KEEP UP MICK.

Seems the posters are getting bit techy on here lately.....
He said, she said, I've got Lloyds shares you haven't. No debt, lots of debt, cancel debt, multiple identities Identity issues, apologies, I'm right you're wrong. SP up SP down, long short, day traders, non traders, not to mention the political opinions, love it.
The one constant here is the "usual weekend update." ^^A 1

Sorry boys but Cummings is off the hook. It's the subject of today's briefing and he's being defended not only by Grant Shapps but the medical advice as well.
It's all about the well-being of his 4 year old child, which the left as usual don't care about but just want to politicise everything.

Hasn't been filled yet and seems to have recovered somewhat, no big deal.
As for being complete and utter dog crap, where there's muck there's money AED.
