Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

UK's Manufacturing PMI Climbs To 14-Month High: CIPS
6/3/2013 4:46 AM ET

The purchasing managers' index for the British manufacturing sector increased sharply in May to the highest level in fourteen months as a robust domestic market led to faster growth of output and new orders, data released by Markit Economics and the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Logistics (CIPS) showed Monday.

The seasonally adjusted Markit/CIPS manufacturing purchasing managers' index (PMI) climbed to a fourteen-month high of 51.3 in May from April's revised reading of 50.2. The index was forecast to rise to 50.1 from 49.8 originally reported in the previous month. Readings above 50 indicate growth, and those below point to contraction. The index increased for the second straight month.

The domestic market was the main driver of new order inflows, although new export business also contributed with a modest increase, the survey showed.

Manufacturing output increased across all the sub-sectors during the month, with growth registered by the consumer, intermediate and investment goods sectors. New orders received by British goods producers rose for the third consecutive month in May, led by a solid improvement in domestic market conditions.

Firms raised their staffing levels for the first time in four months, in line with the upturn in production. Input prices paid by manufacturers declined for the second month in a row, while output prices increased further as companies tried to protect margins and in response to higher demand.

Must be a love child involved

It's Cherie Blair and Gordon Brown?

On second thoughts, maybe I won't be scouring the internet for the sex tape then...

Unfortunately it is not Boris Johnson and Ann Widdecombe. That would be an interesting looking love child.

Good bank lending confidence in the Uk's prospects.

I knew that Cameron was a genius in that he can always produced another diversion.

----------------------

I wonder if the "affair" involves Theresa?

assuming no blatant disinformation, then it can't be Theresa directly as she is current cabinet

Rumours on twitter one side is IDS.

No names posted for other side.

Cant see why its such a big deal.

Goes on all the time in big companys
and especially the Civil Service.

Just wondering!

None of the above

over 240 MPs and lords work for private health companies
that tells you why the NHS is under pressure to give out work to private
hospitals ans companies

IT A NATIONAL DISGRACE
THESE SCUM SHOULD BE NAMED AND SHAMED

If I were guessing I would go for HH.
2517

H H, she was a Labour minister

Found out the No 10. problem.



Larry is having kittens.

The story is somewhat silky. Many of the 'financial links' are MPs owning Glaxo shares and similar investments. Tanker should stop reading the Daily Mirror.

The number 10 affair is not that important if Cameron was not aware of it at the time. If that is the case then it is a bit of a non event.

LOL - Fred!
