SR,
just perused FTSE chart and support at about 6810 but could easily break that and then 6500 is main support level . Supports are there to be broken I guess ! ( smile )

What you request is akin to building an office block with no toilets or canteen etc

Try that for 15 hours plus the drive to work and home if not stopping out

It is. 6700 ftse looks not too far away next test

SR ,
yes. VMUK is holding up well but I shorted VUK on friday in closing auction knowing I was mainly hedged as held VMUK - so very little risk in a way . Closed out today in opening auction for nice profit but hard yakka to get up at 1am for a short while !!
Another stupid brextremist on about BBC being anti Britain and no doubt he saw the article in the Daily Mail ! About every second guest on BBC political programmes is from the Spectator although extreme right winger. Andrew Neil, was on question time and appears to have mellowed a bit and at loggerheads with GB news .
have a good trading day . I just partially closed my short in RIO but a bit too soon I think as it is a real bloodbath at the moment .

Turn killjoy atheist and save 120 million trees a year.
"120 million trees are cut down every Christmas across the world, leading to large scale deforestation and CO2 release"

Yes shocking combination

Yes, extending driving hours and making the HGV test easier. Result, 40 ton trucks driven by tired old men and youngsters who don't know how to drive.

It's entirely in keeping with the smart motorways which seem to have been devised by homicidal maniacs.

They can offer £200K to drivers. Still be a shortage

When will the so called scientists solve the energy problem When all it needs is mirrors of stainless steel in areas to reflect On to solar farms to increase its generation it's so simple

Burning trees in the uk's (and probably the world's) most efficient coal fired powerstation is a masterstroke of the greens. Firstly destroy ancient trees in the Louisiana wetlands (thus absolutely knackering that ecosystem i should imagine), chop them down (i expect petrol powered chainsaws, not by hand), drag them a couple of miles to a processing plant, grind them into powder (needs lots of energy), dry them (masses of energy required), compress under extremely high pressure and temperature to melt the sap and get the powder to stick together while being extruded into pellets (guess what, masses of energy required), drive them a few hundred miles to a port (fleets of diesel lorries), load them onto a fleet of the biggest tankers you can get your hands on (unrefined dirty diesel powered i expect, hundreds of gallons to the mile), have 6 or 7 constantly doing the 3500 mile journey to liverpool or thereabouts, load them onto lorries for the 100 mile journey to drax, and burn them in the furnaces (and try to avoid spontaneous combustion during storage). And then, and this is the green masterstroke, produce less electricity than coal would, and produce more co2 than coal would! Nice one.

And try not to think that drax is built on top of billions of tons of coal, which we just ignore and leave in the ground, preferring ancient forest wood 3500 miles away! Oh yes, green 'thinking' at its best.

Tricky try a drive from London to Edinburgh using truck services . See how you get on

Lol

A least we kept the greens happy by not developing shale gas and by burning trees from America to generate a few light bulbs. Best use all available HGV drivers to deliver baked beans - try and keep the windmills turning as fast as. Its a great energy policy we have in this country. Our industry such as it is, is going to struggle to compete with China with its increasing use of cheap coal power. I cant get me head round trying to power the steel industry or especially an aluminium plant with windmills. Although in the interest of balance we wont be able to afford to buy even the cheap tat from the chinese. COP26 - go Boris go. The chinese are giving you all the finger with a smile from ear to ear

The rise from recent lows was probably in due to catch up sector lagging or triple witching squaring up...

China's Evergrande has nothing to do with Lloyds yet it gets hammered just as much as those banks invested in China...
