I was not poorly just needed a rest .
what would the board say if a bank staff employee said that

lost for answers if lloys as to sell these branches what does
this mean to the eu banks that have had gov cash

What is the consequence for LLOYDS?

Is it important at all?

why did lloys go to all the trouble to buy hbos then start to sell at a loss

It's all his fault --- http://www.godofhellfire.co.uk/60s.htm

It raises capital and reduces overheads. Since most of the disposals relate to duplicate premises e.g. C&G branch in same location as another Lloy the consequence should be minor. At the end of the day Lloy is now much bigger than competition laws would probably have allowed - it was the circumstances of the takeover/rescue that allowed that inconvenient obstacle to be ignored. However bigger aint necessarily better as RBS knows but .... I'm still keeping these as a core holding in my SIPP and trading a bit on the side for the see saws.

yes i agree

Blimey!

I second that.

I see Osario has made a decently good gesture and bought 150,000 LLOY ADRs at about $1.51308 per ADR.

That's very nice.

the return of the useless ceo is bad news for holders in my view

Morning Tank's.. What you trying to say?

some one who goes sick for 4 months then says he was not poorly about sums him
up. if all people did that imagine the out cry they would be called lazy bastards
