Brexit Wars 3 Eadwig: So nothing like a total shutdown then? You make me laugh. No you’re right, everything is fine. Absolutely nothing to worry about at all.

Brexit Wars 3 HuwJarse: Manufacturing PMI expected to come in at around 30, the lowest number ever recorded. So nothing like a total shutdown then?

Big world market fall back corona virus StevesShares: Although we haven’t bought any postage stamps since before the prices increased last year, we just wish we had bought even more back then! When the very big rise was announced before the IPO, I bought a couple of hundred quids-worth of 1st and 2nd class stamps because I sold quite a lot of 2nd hand stuff on E-bay and Amazon. My friend who does that professionally bought £4,000 worth on my advice. Increased his profit margins substantially - I should have charged him a consultancy fee.

Brexit Wars 3 A bit of a silver lining amidst the Corona virus/Covid 19 outbreak. China has put an absolute ban on the eating of and trading in wild animals. About time. This was always a stupid idea and a massive threat to endangered species. IMHO, SBK

Brexit Wars 3 fynne: 150k out of 68million population with the likelihood that those of an age who use “twitterâ€, FB etc will register Just goes to show how dim and out of touch you are fynne. Everybody uses twitter including vast mounts of “silver surfersâ€, companies, all politicians, business people, scientists, doctors, writers, single parent mums. Everybody who is anybody. If you don’r think that you do you are wrong: it generates the stories that you read. IMHO, SBK

Brexit Wars 3 The government has hailed the news that life expectancies had stopped their unpatriotic climb and were finally heading towards the position they had in those halcyon days before 1973, and explained that work was ongoing to replicate this across all facets of life. Brexit benefit Life expectancy drops to time when we were Sick Man of Europe…

Big world market fall back corona virus Hi Ripley, Not sure that age matters, but we currently have eight grandchildren! I would certainly not invest in the Royal Mail Group, and have little confidence in Motley Fool articles! For those who were patiently waiting for HSBC to go sub 550p, and Lloyds below 55p, they may now be well rewarded. If we hadn’t been left our initial block of HSBC shares in early 2001, we probably wouldn’t have any direct involvement in the stock market. I did have a serious look at Lloyds in mid 2017, when they were trading at about 70p, but decided not to invest. I suppose if the price drops further - to below 50p, then we may well be tempted … … to continue to leave well alone! Yes! The postage stamps are for our own use, and as we sell quite a few things (mainly small collectibles or “hobby†related items) on-line, our postage costs may well be higher than the “average†family! Most of our items are sent from our local village Post Office, although we do sometimes use other couriers, when that is more cost-effective. It is much brighter here at the moment in the North of England than we thought it was going to be today, but there is quite a chilly wind. Apart from some standing water in the back garden, we didn’t experience any problems during the recent storms, so are very thankful. Have a good week. Regards, Steve
