If listed in London that valuation would see it half way up the FTSE100. What chance the City would give it that value?

Zero!

Age - the one thing that goes up but never comes down - unfortunately.

64, from my present stance, is ancient. lol

In the words of the song, only the good die young.

I fear I may be required to drag my chains for a while yet.

64 is not to be sniffed at, leedskier.

Was your exclamation a reaction to the syntax of the post, or your approval rating of the BB mentioned in it?

The FT Asks "Is This The Elites' "Marie Antoinette" Moment?"



by Tyler Durden

Nov 28, 2016 10:40 PM


Authored by Wolfgang Munchau, originally posted at FT.com,

Some revolutions could have been avoided if the old guard had only refrained from provocation. There is no proof of a “let them eat cake” incident. But this is the kind of thing Marie Antoinette could have said. It rings true. The Bourbons were hard to beat as the quintessential out-of-touch establishment.








They have competition now.

Our global liberal democratic establishment is behaving in much the same way. At a time when Britain has voted to leave the EU, when Donald Trump has been elected US president, and Marine Le Pen is marching towards the Elysée Palace, we — the gatekeepers of the global liberal order — keep on doubling down.

The campaign by Tony Blair, former UK prime minister, to undo Brexit is probably the quaintest example of all. A more serious incident was the forecast by the Office for Budget Responsibility in the UK, which said last week that Brexit would have severe economic consequences. Coming only a few months after the economics profession discredited itself with a doomy forecast about the consequences of Brexit, this is an astonishing reminder of the inadequacy of economic forecasting models.
