*SCH GIVES NO DETAIL OF ABBEY OFFER IN RESULTS STATEMENT

According to the BBC1 Business News this morning ANL will not be making an announcement until 09:00, to quote, "nothing sinister, just the lawyers need more time to draft the details". Sounds like it could be a complicated offer.

ANL crossing at 5.52 ATM with 2 mins to go.

ARM level II yellow strip out of line with detailed prices?
Or is it me?

Morning all. Expect to spend much of today setting up new terminal views. Long NFDS for the div, and long LGEN and (still) DCG (unfortunately).

sold Jrvs long very nice :-)

Regretting jumping out of JKX.

A few small oils looking strong today.

Foale,

Sorry I missed your posting earlier - ARM looks fine this end are you still having problems?

Ian

oops sorry about header changed

Quick, but small, 10.5 from RB. long.

Ian its fine now thanks

What thread should I post those sort of Level II comments to?

Morning all.
JRVS had a good morning so far.

Foale,

There is a Level 2 thread, but this was just me being slow on a Monday morning :-) if you post here I will normally pick it up pretty quickly.

Ian
