    It looks like meltdown is on the cards for the UK stockmarket later today (Friday) . I hope you all took Asheron's advice and fully converted your portfolios to Gold to avert the oncoming financial catastrophe.

    Good luck everyone, we're all in this together, tin hats at the ready!
    you must have gone to the Brit1234 school of predictions cos that was a rubbish one.

    keep up the good work!!

    Has the bloodbath happened yet? I went out and treated myself to my favourite type of pastry (raspberry and almond, since you ask), in case the forthcoming apocalypse destroys all bakeries.

    Not yet, just waiting for people in neighboring buildings to start pouring onto the streets. I hope they don't declare marshall law until after lunch.

    Hmm, is there any reason why trying to access the market prices on the Telegraph website hangs my browser? Is this the start of the meltdown?

    Apparently FTSE 100 has dropped by a staggering 0.13% this morning !!!
    I try not to get too stressed out on the forum. I won't argue, i'll just leave a thread if you don't like what I say. :)
