was at £186m in accordance with last years report, I wonder if this has decreased since then? A splash in the ocean, but I bet LBG SP will plummet like the rest of UK banks if Greece exits. By nest-egg

"It's a tough job working for a bailed-out bank that owes the taxpayer about £20bn – so exhausting, indeed, that Lloyds Banking Group dispatched a dozen top bosses on a luxury spa break at Champneys designed to teach them to eat like an executive and learn how to be more effective "hunter-gatherers in the corporate jungle"

Idle,

Think IG advanced charts up the memory requirement for running recently... I know the charts work well on my more recent desktops but now fail to work on my older ones with less RAM...

17:43 17/05/2012 Re: French Exposure, how much!
"How much exposure to Lloyds have in relation to French, Spanish and Italian Banks?"

Page 148 of the Report & Accounts headed "Exposures to selected Eurozone countries".

Probably a more reliable source of data about Lloyds than this discussion board where one or two punters are well known for inventing answers to such quesions, such as HuwJarse's claim that 38% of all Lloyds mortaages have a loan to value over 90% (untrue of course) and Taffychaff's hilarious claim that three quarters of all houses in the UK are mortgaged to Lloyds.

16:01 17/05/2012 98% of voters approve remuneration
http://uk.reuters.com/article/2012/05/17/uk-lloyds-agm-idUKBRE84G0TL20120517

I heard some of the AGM broadcast and a good number of the questioners seemed to me to be anti the remuneration deal. Looks as if Government and the fund managers voted in favour of the Board?

Nice to see Mssrs Cable and Osborne supporting the management ahead of shareholders - after all HMG receives money from LBG by way of bank levy (more than some FTSE 100 pay to HMRC).

In this throw away society LBG have opted to change its executive team so the argument that the Board must forgo bonus is weakened by the new team having to deal with legacy issues from previous team. However, the Board have in some cases paid members of the new team excessive joining fees and thereafter the new directors should accept the collective responsibility to endure the same as shareholders, otherwise its a win-win for the Board in terms of pay and avoiding real accountability.
