Brilliant favourite saying and how true

Nice one. There are some positives for those who want to look. I learned a lesson for life many many years ago. I was in the scouts and had gone on the annual camp. The weather was shocking. One lad kept standing around saying how cold and wet it was - of which we were only too well aware. Another lad continually had us in stitches. Needless to say who was most popular. I still see him on and off. One of his favourite saying is 'who cares whether my glass is half empty or half full. I can still fit more in.' I suspect yours will always be half empty smartie

A lot of people seem to be successfully working from home.
Depends on your career, obviously

Of course pollution is down, for obvious reasons. The country as a whole is going in the same direction.



But, it looks like at least one politician gets it.



Politics latest news: Cure for coronavirus could be 'more harmful' than pandemic, Grant Shapps says as he warns against crashing UK economy





Harry Yorke, political correspondent
31 MARCH 2020 • 9:09AM



The 'cure' for coronavirus could "more harmful" than the pandemic itself, a Cabinet minister has suggested, as he warned that sending all workers home risked crashing the economy.

Grant Shapps, the Transport Secretary, defended the Government's approach to the lockdown, insisting there was a need for some people to continue travelling to work.

Labour and other opposition parties have called for stricter guidance to prevent non-essential workers from continuing to work as normal, amid fears it is undermining efforts to suppress the spread of the disease.

But this morning Mr Shapps said ministers had to be "careful not to completely crash the economy," warning that it could be "impossible or very difficult to pick up again afterwards."...

yes, there is something going on in the background, keep listening, did you know that over 12,000 CEO's have resigned in the last 4-5 months ?

[smartie6] 31/3/2020 09:35

Nope. Incorrect guess.
Are you stalking me, you do realise that’s harassment?

[asa8] 31/3/2020 09:35

On my local news last night they said air pollution had halved there is something else going on here

[aljm] 31/3/2020 09:35

[utyinv] 31/3/2020 09:33

aljm,

He has been on the Advfn system since 21st Aug 2019, so I assume he/she is someone who we might know under a different Username.

[smartie6] 31/3/2020 09:33

Don’t you mean you are? FFS.

Who warned you about divs? Mmmmmmmmm.

[asa8] 31/3/2020 09:30

What a tool this smartie is get back under your rock your pathetic

[smartie6] 31/3/2020 09:28

Yes I’m investing in its demise.
I’ve just given all the points worth noting, they maybe negative and you may not want to hear it but sound and just all the same.

Just stop squealing.

[smartie6] 31/3/2020 09:24

Are you sure because the volume has been really low and driven by bots. Should have watched CNBC. No funds are going in as yet. They’re ready for further falls. FFS some people.

Huge amounts of money returning to the market's now.

[smartie6] 31/3/2020 09:21

If there’s more like you out there, I’m now definitely shorting the shxt out of this market. FFS how stupid?

Opening up a massive short, imo, if there’s more sheep out there then let the money roll my way.

[smartie6] 31/3/2020 09:19

Relatively unscathed? FFS.
Tell that to all the families that have lost loved ones and are about to do so.

12% of SMEs gone to the wall. Mass unemployment and house price crash. Further stimulus required and government debt we’ll be repaying for 50years. FFS.

[fovargue] 31/3/2020 09:16

I think we're at a point now where Armagdeddon has been priced in. A few signs that we could get through this relatively unscathed and it'll quickly nudge upwards.

The desperation of the shorters is becoming increasingly tragic to witness. Banging on about vaccine trials giving people cancer? Shameful, really. Isn't it?

[mitchy] 31/3/2020 09:10

German unemployment figures much better than expected. Probably all the new jobs in deliveries , food and toilet paper manufacturing.

[mitchy] 31/3/2020 09:07

Cboe sentiment in positive territory.

[smartie6] 31/3/2020 09:06

Lol.
I wonder how many on here won’t be squealing when they pull the dividend and the share price falls to 28p.
Squeal little piggies, squeal.

Isn't that what you pay your accountant to do
Lol

What was that phrase used back in the day..."The green shoots of recovery" ...!
