Skinny - My best holding is in NWBD from way back and, although now a little over par, is still appealing . Like you I have some GACA and I'm toying with CPBC. GLIF looks a bit esoteric. I'll check it out overnight.

i hold LLOY for the long term. is there any merit to buying LLPC/LLPE for the same long term hold or would it be more prudent to buy more LLOY as they are cheaper?
anyone care to voice an opinion.

Alex

gone from 3.2b to almost 4b for ppi and still more claims to sort out

Kevin - I have LLPE as ex dividend today (22/02).

Tanker,
We should ignore PPI and move on. 90% of it is done.

ahoj they are not even half way fact still hundreds of staff working on it
then they wil lose there jobs would you rush

5000 still working on ppi claims what are they going to do when it is finished

A 13-year-old girl was plied with alcohol and repeatedly raped by a gang of Asian men, a court heard yesterday.
She was one of number of schoolgirls targeted by the gang of 11 men, who gave them drink and drugs before they raped them.
The vulnerable children were passed among the group and sometimes forced to have sex with several men in one day.
The young girls, who all came from broken homes, were often too incapacitated by drink or drugs to be able to fend off the men, it was alleged.
The jury heard one 13-year-old girl became pregnant by one man and had the baby aborted, while another teenager claimed she was raped by three men while she was being sick over the side of the bed.

this is the uk today what have we done allowing these evil humans in to our once
safe and happy country

Skinny - Thanks for that. I have a small Birmingham Midshires compensation rump holding. Should have bought a shedload a couple of weeks ago.

Roberalexander - I think LLOY are a good long term hold but it will be surely some years before they resume dividends. And then they will fly. LLPE and the other prefs paying around 8 per cent are also a good hold but check out that the divis have resumed. Which is better? Ask someone with an actuarial discipline, a calculator and a crystal ball. For me, looking for income, locked in at 8 pc looks good. I hold both.

PPI...they are giving money away. I know someone who is to receive over £2K in 'compensation' no way did he ever pay out anything near £2K in insurance!

Another day - flat

ppi to cost over 8b .
and they have so far only paid out 40%

We paid for six months for the insurance, but refused to claim. It is not moral to claim, in my view.

ahoj why is it not moral

I accepted it at the time and paid the cost, never claimed. so what is wrong?

you are honest

i have never taken out a loan in my life

No!

I bet you have been on borrowed time more often than you realised.
