There's nothing stopping you from buying shares with a stock broker from Tuesday 15th at whatever the market value is.

:hmmmm 10% of the workforce, interesting statistics.

I'm sure Moya will survive as she earns the equivalent of my monthly wage in 6hrs, so she won't have to start shopping at Lidls just yet :neutral:

C'mon Shambles you don't shop at Lidls, if you do what's that Sainsburys van doing parked outside your house with loads of crates of high end groceries, bottles of champers and sundry toiletries :whistle And no I've never been in a Lidls store but I often go to a local Aldi if they have tools on offer. They're great bargains with 3 year warranties but I have to admit barring the odd fruit or veg on offer I'd never buy something I've never heard of, though I must admit you can hardly get on their car park these days so I'd only go if I considered it worth it. My wife, bless her cotton socks, sees to the majority of shopping on line and just sends me out for the odds and sods.................which seems to be most days now. :sad:

I am admittedly not poor and could have afforded to buy the maximum allowed and suspect I could have made a considerable profit certainly a few grand plus but somehow I just couldn't bring myself to invest and the free shares mean absolutely nothing to me either.

Yep, we're singing from the same hymn sheet here Boyo :angel
"Cara yn bod 'n briod , dydy 'n fawr at ca a hun 'n anad berson a 'ch angen at blina achos 'r bwyso chan 'ch buchedd "
