Re above. Mole shouts "Oi, mate. Where d'ya get the anti-gravity device?"

Lol! think the mole will be long gone now after seeing Mickey's MIL from below!

squats going on

I think this mole hunt is very near the bottom of the jocular barrel.

Hello Ratty said Mr. Mole.

On a more serious topic guy's. What difference will it make to investors if the LSE sells out to a foreign buyer.

MS

apart from being an embarrassment to this country- can you imagine the germans or french selling their inst's that has been around for years. this should not be allowed- from our regulators. we must be looked upon as a laughing stock- we seem to be selling our best business successes to foreigners.

got it out of my system- what about 2x 4m sell at close-

I'm with you lizard if it were left up to me I would tell them to go and **** themselves. Is nothing sacred anymore. I like Hils take on the French. I would like to know what she feels about the Germans.

MS

ok, but look at the LSE this way...why is it that a british company doesn't bid or the LSE maximises value? i am as pro british as the next guy but i am even more pro free markets and (within reason) believe that over protectionist policies legislated by govenments tends to be bad for business. i would rather see the germans fail in the bid but i don't see anyone else clambering to keep the institution british.

I think that it lost any status that it had as a British Institution when the original member brokers allowed it to become a public company 2 or 3 years ago.

100% agreed Hilary.

Just checked and it's actually 3 and a half years. Tempus Fugit!

Also just noticed your post, Mickey. I don't mind the Krauts as it happens. If they try to push in front of me in a ski lift queue, I just swing my ski tip at their Jacobs. But then I'll do that regardless and ask where they're from afterwards.

:o)

Jacobs Cream Crackers eh Hils? Very gor blimey guv'nor.

Nice one Hils. I must remember not to queue jump you, my eyes are watering at the very thought. To be honest I don't mind the Krauts either. I lived in Germany for 5 years so I got to understand their mentality pretty well. But just under the surface are some serious right wing wiews, at least with the ones I mixed with. Must check on GMC.

LOL

MS

all quiet on the sey front,
have been following goo for a while and have issued some interesting news this afternoon. risky but thinking could be worth a look?.

These are on the way down again me thinks. I shall be hitting my reappraisal point soon, time to think again.

MS

hang on for a few more days..at least until the next drill report (IMHO!)

It needs to be good. According to stockwatch there have been only sells since this morning.

MS

everything was reported as a sell today as all the buys were below mid price

A bit of a worry if all the buys were below mid.

:o)
