Lloyds Banking Share Discussion Threads

Lloyds report half year earnings on 30th July. Judging by the movement of the share price the results will be disappointing.

"costing 80bn Euros"

........borrow around £350bn instead.

Cut off your nose to spite your face?

Why dodge an EU bullet when you can make your own and fire up a Gatling gun?

Only a Scot would spot the difference between Stirling and Sterling.

Er, no. Any educated person would. Some wouldn't feel it was worth mentioning, though.

Crikey Labours Jonathan Ashworth's low rent isn't he? I though he was shadow minister for double glazing but apparently not...its HEALTH! What could possibly be the worst possible constituency for a labour shadow health minister to represent? You've guessed it Leicester Sth! Fkin unbelievable!! Wheres captain Hindsight when u need him?

Thanks Bob for correcting my spelling mistake
Only a Scot would spot the difference between Stirling and Sterling.
The greatest moment in Scottish history occurred there, followed closely by the invention of the Haggis.
Can't think of anything else significant apart from the Bay City Rollers.

Gecko refers to me as a China-phile.
A great new word, I like it.
It is all moving so fast, I diagnose Gecko as a China-phobe.

contaminated batches anyone?

First off..UNTIL the wonderful NHS workers take this stuff............ 100% of them...........

no way hose.

[only 40-50% of workers in the NHS take the current flu jab. I wonder why]

Careful

They aren't protesters though.
What the Chinese are engaging in is ethnic cleansing and genocide.

"We have many personal freedoms in the uk. and we take them for granted.
But when I see protesters for Black Lives Matter, Climate change protestors, Me too,Statues removed, property damage I wonder if we are not authoritarian enough"


Agree. I'd have all those movements shut down,their leaders imprisoned.
Statues being defaced, criminal damage, rioting, innocent people being attacked.
No excuses. They need to be stamped ojn hard.



"Are you happy with all of these organised protestors Gekko?"

No.




"and how would you handle the Hong Kong protests?"

Hong Kong protesters want freedom. All the above you list want socialism/communism.




"There is a big difference between anarchy and peaceful protest"

Anyone disputing such?



"Does anyone remember the miners strikes and Arthur Scargill's flying pickets?"

Yes they were suitably crushed.


"Me, recently accused of being a left winger, was on the side of the Government"
Well congrats...but as I said, most Anti American China-philes tend to be Lefties.

MKS. 950 jobs lost. Sonny Bill20 Jul 2020 1:27PMI'd happily shop as long as I don't need to wear a mask to do so.

First in the Queue?...that is if it works...




UK signs deal for 90 million vaccines, I don't get this, what if they don't work?? Do we get our money back?

“When Soros shorted Stirling he made about £1bn when we crashed out.“


Did he bet the castle on it Lol

Its Sterling by the way.

[alphorn] 20/7/2020 13:08

M2 - yes, right there. Nice noise too!

[minerve 2] 20/7/2020 13:08

Obviously grahamite needs a lesson or two in prions.

"The BSE "crisis" was a wonderful time and I hope we have another soon. I've never eaten so much beef and steak!"


Eh?

LOL!

[alphorn] 20/7/2020 13:07

G2 - although the salmonella 'crisis' did put me off eggs for quite a long time after I had caught it.

"The suspension ball joints etc lasted about 25k miles. "

Swiss bending and curving roads and not straight-line Turnpikes. :)

Nice looking car.

[alphorn] 20/7/2020 12:59

M2 - we had one of the recent Mustangs bought new. The suspension ball joints etc lasted about 25k miles. Very lightweight build but then they are not to keep for ever; at least the electronics seemed ok.

[utrickytrees] 20/7/2020 12:47

tariffs on jap engines have been lifted.

Utricky/maxk

They are not Frankenstein foods they are just foods delivered via manufacturing we should be attempting to move away from. Whilst I have been in the US I've consumed a lot of this stuff myself but at least I am aware of where it is at and where it should be. We should have learned the lessons during the BSE crisis but it seems we haven't because we seem more than content as consumers to allow back in the slippery slope we were doing well in getting rid of. We will be back to square one in a decade with another crisis to deal with.

As far as engineering in the US I have had a US car delivered where the spacing between body panels was woeful. I'm talking US manufacture not US brand. I've also had Briggs & Stratton engines on garden tools that - although well-specified on paper - have given me problems in their early hours of use. I noticed that our UK manufacturer Hayter lawnmowers have started to spec their top end mowers with Honda engines - I wonder if that is to do with quality?

Having said that I've had a few US manufactured Husqvarnas that have been of excellent build and up there with Stihl that I have also had. Also, my last US car I purchased was a Mercedes manufactured in Alabama and that was up there with the models I've had from Stuttgart.

I think I know to some extent what I am talking about with engineering. I studied general engineering before specialising in electronics and as part of the course have visited my manufacturing plants around Europe. I enjoyed it very much and would return to engineering if I could.

Min.

Im not trying to paint a picture of all things bright and beautiful in Amerika.

Far from it. But we dont need to go down that route.
