What's the point of the Brits observing social distancing when the Romanians are lined up like sardines at Bucharest airport waiting to board flights to the UK to pick Strawberries & pockets?

What did the share buy backs do?...nothing zero...that was even before the Coronavirus....

Inflate the figures so as to keep the plebs are more terrified and tow the line!

Agreed Bobster! Lloyd's is worse than a jock at a charity auction.

Lloy as a long term hold. What are the views for the share price come October?

My pot is UK centric. My performance measurement is in GBP. What is your comment?


The other side of your 'hidden' suggestion would mean that 99% of the posters here would have to talk about domestic matters rather than all other countries. It would make this board very 'threadbare'. It might also give them a terminal shock. Lol

Pot, kettle, Alp..

max - concentrate on the home game first - not another team in another country!

[alphorn] 18/4/2020 13:36

max - yes, quickly use that excuse.

It is very sad but unsurprising; the government should be targeting these factories at risk of a Brexit closure with grants. Ie the government could have taken this opportunity too if they had been smarter.

(That is the serious bit - the other is to wind up the natives - they know who they are). Lol

re your last line.


No! But there again the €uro's are hardly covering themselves in glory.

[maxk] 18/4/2020 13:30

Alp.

From your post it looks like they were going to stop anyway (brexit?)

Coro looks to be the go to excuse of the day.

max - the wheels may or may not come off car finance but if x5 wants to put made in UK tyres on his wheels that may be more problematic.

Five decades of tyre production at the Michelin Factory in Dundee have come to a premature end because of the coronavirus crisis. Production will not restart after the virus lockdown.

They will not be the only ones to use the virus as an excuse not to restart UK production.

It is very unfortunate but would you trust this government to handle any new trade arrangements, or actually do almost anything?

Will coronavirus see the wheels come off car finance?


Personal contract purchase deals have fuelled growth in the automotive industry but Covid-19 could cause a crash

PCP deals have got drivers into new cars for lower monthly prices


The City watchdog has told lenders that they must offer payment holidays to people struggling with car loans because of coronavirus. This is good news for consumers, of course – but it is also good news for the automotive industry.

Sales of new cars soared following the financial crisis, largely driven by the growth of personal contract purchase (PCP) deals. They offered drivers the chance to get into new cars for lower monthly payments than traditional arrangements such as hire purchase (HP).

Instead of financing the entire cost of a new vehicle, PCPs cover the cost of a car’s depreciation.

For example, a customer wants XY Motors' £30,000 car which will be worth £18,000 in three year’s time. Instead of taking a loan to cover the whole amount, a PCP means they just have to pay for the depreciation....

If x5 believes what he posts which I strongly doubt then he must be tuning up his Shank's Pony in readiness.

What he has misunderstood is that it does not mean a Pony car.

ROFLMAO

If their nuclear power stations are anything like their virus laboratories or covid test kits I'd rather go back to gas light. Wouldn't trust them to make a half decent kettle.
