By mentioning 'going to the boozer' is a way some scumbags think they are 'one of the guys, a cool dude, always followed by a bit of a laugh, ha ha, he's off down the pub.

I'm more interested in the grub, but that's not cool.

[scruff1] 22/5/2020 10:11

Me neither. That was my original point. Lots of financial bods in the city and elsewhere of the same opinion. That's why I worry about it's new gov. Is he strong and self assured or is he one of those who love to talk the talk - if you know what I mean.

I am not sure what the benefits are for the BofE?

[scruff1] 22/5/2020 09:39

Cheers. That is how I understood it. I know you are of the other persuasion but I am hoping that the UK ends up with a similar problem :-)

[alphorn] 22/5/2020 09:38

red - agreed. Btw I would have thought that the government would want to maintain the dividend pay-out from such a widely held share. Screwing Joe Public some more does not make much sense. (Especially following those cash inflows from both retail and commercial in Q1).

[poikka] 22/5/2020 09:37

Certainly be a good time to do it, Brianp, and the effect on voting intentions could well balance out.

[alphorn] 22/5/2020 09:34

max #331. Nice one. ;)

scruff - trying to make the CHF less attractive. Plenty of issues for exports with the strong CHF being surrounded by €uroland.

Why is everyone going on about going to the boozer no one went when you could go. The industry was going down fast more people are spending on booze now than they ever did but staying at home.

I'm not that well informed really. But I think Switzerland is in a different position to us. I believe they use interest rates to keep the value of the franc down. Not something we really need to fret about for the GBP. It's also been used in some countries to get banks to lend more to stoke inflation. Not sure why that would work here when banks are being forced to lend anyway. Anyway have faith in the Old Lady !!

What happened to your quest for 45p?

[montyhedge] 22/5/2020 08:51

19p here come, it's a dog, not only a dog a dog with fleas.Negatives interest rates final straw if we get it from BOE.

The ol nag might be in trouble.

But dont worry, António is doing ok.

[bargainbob] 22/5/2020 08:29

More demand for their products , though leading controls will need to be tighter.

Funny enough now is the time for PPI lol

[bargainbob] 22/5/2020 08:22

The CEO is leaving there looking for a replacement before next AGM.

[portside1] 22/5/2020 08:16

[portside1] 22/5/2020 08:12

[utrickytrees] 22/5/2020 08:12

Lloyd's will get hammered at every turn. Covid 2nd wave, impairments, national debt, unemployment figures, house prices. Its Fkd.

[xxxxxy] 22/5/2020 08:10

So things cannot continue like this. End Lockdown. Those who feel vulnerable and actually vulnerable should stay in and safe there. The rest of us should continue with our normal lives. If uncertain go and get tested, because you may have had the virus and so worrying unnecessarily. Superdrug offering test. I've bought one. Let's get the economy going again and we all apply COMMON SENSE. Need compassion for those who are imprisoned and the children unnecessarily not being exposed to other aspects of immunity that may be required later. Let's have common sense rather than fear.

[buywell3] 22/5/2020 08:09

It's only money

Soon banks might be charging you to keep it for you

Th public sector pensions require dealing with. This has been my mantra for years. Joe Public has no clue as to the cost of this pa. Hmrc, local councils, the military, central & local govt, various quangos, the judiciary, career MPs & sorry the NHS.I am not tslking about Doris the cleanet or Beryl the dinner lady there is a large tranche who have & are earning 40k+ for a chunk of their working lives.A good proportion retire at 55 take their lump & then on the life of reiley. I have many personal examples across sectors. Some of these schemes were even non contibutory some on a sliding scale but with v large employer contributions of anywhere from 12 to 23% on a sliding scale.The baby boomers in this group who have had it all including need to pay back some of this life reiley like a 25% haircut. Just because they decided at 18 or 30 to work for the public sector should not mean they can have whilst others have done no different have not.You could add billions pa to the saving. Unprecedented times require unprecedented action.The only thing is that no govt has the balls to do this. We are all not in the same boat just the same raging sea. I hate this because many who say this are Im alright jack. Hypocrusy at its worst.
