The jobs are supposedly going from London to Frankfurt, although MS have just released a statement saying that they have no 'official plans' as of now:

So pure petulance...

Let em crack on. I accept that we live in a capatilist society but i refuse to have that gun held to my head.

I don't care if the bloke trading my pension pot is in timbucktwo as long as he get's me a return. Hardly done well have they in London... BHS anyone?

Just today my S+S ISA/Pension is down 10k. Barclays 20%, Aviva 18% down etc etc.

Will be interesting to see those numbers on Monday and then in a couple of weeks time.
FTSE was down 10% at open and closed 2.5% down today and IIRC its still higher than it was a couple of weeks ago. As is usual with anything of this nature its always overdone, rise or fall.

A price reduction is the only obvious way forward, especially if it's not a forever home.

Are you choosing not to listen to various comments on here?

I've already had a CRA email me with "advice" regarding the decision.

You couldn't make it up.

Reduced confidence, are you kidding, you live in the fifth largest economy in the world. What happened today will be a tiny little blip on the economic front. You won't even notice it in a few years time.

My portfolio of equities is up 3%.

So calm down dear to quote our ex-PM and carry on.

Good luck fj

Be careful about listening to "advice" or comments on here.

The HPC (House Price Crash) losers are amazingly even more desperate than usual and are making stuff up on here and elsewhere, hoping they can panic people and might finally get the economic disaster they've been wanting after 15 years of being wrong and paying a BTLer's mortgage for him:-
