    I also have some B&B shares, got them probably about 10 years ago when they converted to a bank.

    A couple of years ago I think they were worth around £800 (again like the op, I think it is 250 shares).


    To be honest, I never look and just cash the little dividend cheque that turns up every year...

    I take it I won't be getting a cheque this year.. lol

    Also, it is something I got for nothing, and never really bothered with, so will also leave them tucked under the cupboard for a very rainy day.

    At 14.3p a share, that's £35.75 if you hold the 250, to add to the £16.75 interim divi you got in October.

    B& B is the next Northern Rock. Sell the shares now while you can still afford a few pints with the proceeds

    People said that about HBoS a few weeks ago, and that was a load of rubbish.
    Maybe a nice take over rumour will make them peak again.
  • another one here with 250 shares. Told hubby we should sell them last year when they were £4.51 each - over a grand!
    ...........NOOO, he said, shares are always worth keeping!
    I did briefly looking into a possible £80 referral deal on the referrals board via selftrade... but all i did was look. If i remember, all you have to do is transfer your shares, not buy or sell. The referrral's probably worth more than shares at the moment, so may reinvestigate!

    Heard a snippit on sky news today that Bradford and Bingley have felt the need to issue a statement denying that its going to be NR mark 2.

    Will be interesting to see if its share price goes the wrong side of 1.50 in the coming days/weeks. :eek:

    This is the article which led to the denial.

    Such denials are worth diddly squat. Northern Rock continually denied that they were the Northern Rock Mark I! Sell, Sell, sell while you can still get a few shillings for the shares.
