Civil servants have been slammed for spending thousands of pounds and four months on a costly review into how they open their morning post.

Bosses ordered staff to carry out the investigation into the procedure of opening envelopes at Coventry’s Land Registry office.

After four months and at a cost of £5,000, the review simply recommended

about sums it all up does it not

No it doesn't Tanks. Ever tried reading a Newspaper?

cynic now back in profit and will now hold till 40p

From this week's Shares Mag:
"By Vishala Sri-Pathma.
Sell Lloyds (LLOY) ahead of next week’s (24 Feb) interim results, which are likely unveil further hefty write downs. Whilst the lender should have benefitted from its limited exposure to the volatile investment banking arena, analysts expect another year of losses due to the £3.2 billion payment protections insurance (PPi) provisions taken in the fi rst half of 2011, as well as £1.4 billion in restructuring costs.
The FTse 100 constituent still faces a number of challenges and is yet to reach an agreement on the scale of its disposal branch network, for which the Co-operative Bank has preferred bidder status. In its third-quarter trading update (8 nov ‘11), the banking group suggested the deteriorating economic backdrop could impede its efforts to reach its return on equity (Roe) target of 12.5% to 14.5% by 2014. Sector peer Barclays (BARC) last week (10 Feb) dropped its 13% Roe goal for 2013, citing regulatory capital requirements.
The return of group chief executive officer, Antonio Horta-osorio, is encouraging but his movements will be monitored closely following last year’s leave of absence due to fatigue.
Shares says: SELL Lloyds at 35p."

This shows that the expectation is so low. It can jump after the results then, IMO

harry should i sell afew if i do it will be 60743 i like odd numbers

just sold 60743 which i said will sell 200000 if it its 35.25p

You are asking the wrong person!!! I still have my stock, nicely in profit and have been holding on for +37p, but it seems reluctant to get there again (Pure greed on my part!). Shares Mag is only expressing an opinion and they do get it wrong sometimes. If it gets back to 36p I think I will cash in.

just added 7217 cna results next thurs 7am 11p div ex div 25th april

Bit of a battle over 35p at the moment. Price seems to be heading north from here. A 3 to 4p increase over the next week doesn't look unreasonable looking at run ups in share price to date. To sell or not before the results next week? H

Lookin' good!

Got a limit sell Harry?

Ah, good idea! 36p.......but could I squeeze another penny or two......??? Decisions, decisions....!!! ;o)

How many more times? Noooooooooo! -):

I refer you to post 3923 :-)

Nope. Just never that well off when I was younger, so learned to be thrifty and it has never worn off!
