Tried to sell shares, we wanted to unload the last of them, what a kerfuffle, back and forward and ended up selling them online. Made arrangement to go and see them for something or other. They failed to keep the appointment. So after complaining about the appointment Husband told them about selling the shares and we were up £100. We were not after money merely an explanation but one hand no longer knows what the other is doing. Sometimes we need to get back to at least the Seventies when we still had a manager in charge.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03930463301985234273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-60724268736924309292014-08-07T05:53:27.713+01:002014-08-07T05:53:27.713+01:00Don't rUK need our money as it is partly oil-b...Don't rUK need our money as it is partly oil-based and thus keeps the money men a little happier about the trillions of debt incurred by Westminster?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-7939088151358987322014-08-07T05:47:57.167+01:002014-08-07T05:47:57.167+01:00It is possible that as AS was playing to the Don&#...It is possible that as AS was playing to the Don't knows/Older Generation and Women, he will change tak for the next meeting and show he has teeth and go for the jugular - possibly not personally to AD but expose the lies/misinformation/the hidden facts and the rotten media.<br />It is then possible a number of the soft Naysayers may also move over to YES - especially if those committed Yes supporters on the ground have softened them up already.<br />Maybe we can then be more confident of getting the game-changing percentage on the 18thAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-86549402137303577162014-08-07T01:02:43.455+01:002014-08-07T01:02:43.455+01:00Seems to me there is really no need for plan B.
