Was going to sell the 25000 shares I purchased at 52.75
Was looking to get 61.50 but she is reluctant to jump the fence faltering at
61.05
Who thinks we will see 61.05 today
And what Chance has Boris got of getting the deal done

Are you toast yet ??

Woman went into her local Lloyds and wanted to cash a cheque
They refused
How rude is that
They told her they were a
Land Rover dealership and did not cash cheques
But they could sell her a nice new motor

Lloyds of London is nothing to do with Lloyds Bank
Nah you must be joking
How strange

Got them at 52.92 so not too bad

Looks like I just purchased £13000

Will we see 53p today
My limit order might just be met

If we do can you give me a call
I was too greedy and did not buy at 49
Reset my
Limit order to 53
Who knows

Wherever did you get that idea from

Would you like to have a guess
I’ve got £13000 waiting to go in

Less would be better
Till I buy in

Will we see 52 tomorrow

Actions like these of foreign nations would have been considered as an act of war

Britain's costliest consumer banking scandal may have sting in its tail

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's most costly consumer banking scandal could yet have a sting in the tail even after an August 29 compensation deadline, as a 1 billion pound claims industry takes its fight to the courts.

The payment protection insurance (PPI) saga is due to close on Thursday after eight years and 36 billion pounds of compensation payouts to consumers who were mis-sold policies on a vast scale.

But banks have been warned that PPI has created a burgeoning claims industry and that celebrating the end of the scandal could be premature.

Several claims firms told Reuters they would continue to pursue PPI payouts through the courts, while others re-train staff to seek compensation for mis-selling of other products including investments and high-cost credit.

"People may have thought the deadline would be the end of it, but it may not go away," said Ian Bond, a director at law firm Talbots Law who works on PPI claims.

Think tank New City Agenda last week estimated the total bill for PPI would top 50 billion pounds, or five times the cost of the London 2012 Olympics.

It also estimated billions of pounds would likely remain unclaimed, leaving fertile ground for claims firms to exploit.

Britons could scarcely have missed reminders of the PPI claims deadline after being bombarded by adverts fronted by actor-turned-U.S. politician Arnold Schwarzenegger, paid for by watchdog the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).

PPI policies were sold alongside a personal loan or mortgage to cover repayments if borrowers fell ill or lost jobs but most were sold unsuitable policies and would never have been able to claim.

Most people have sought compensation directly with their bank, but a sizeable industry also emerged to handle claims.

Ten of the largest claims firms employ more than 3,000 people between them and have amassed 1.1 billion in revenues over the claims period, according to Companies House documents.

Some banks have been caught out by a late surge in PPI claims, forcing Lloyds, HSBC and the UK arm of Spanish bank Santander to set aside an extra 1.1 billion pounds collectively in half-year results.

Others, including Clydesdale Bank and Barclays, are likely to make further p
