Brilliant thread SK. Makes you think (and understand) that sometimes the FT100 is a dangerous place even for dividend payers! I am sure there are some good buys in there. Perhaps SSE, CNA and HBSA. Do not hold but may have a closer look.
But they will not disappear overnight! Perhaps a good thread would be for Recovery of the Dog shares! Companies like Dixons have been major dog shares but have taken the medicine and offer a fair amount of 'current' value.
