UK SHARES SECTION

We almost fell off our chairs and threw up when checking the closing prices of a couple of shares via the London Stock Exchange's website.

Right there, blazing, twinkling and flashing '100% bonus' at the top of the LSEs Home Page was a banner advert for 888.com Casino!

Just what sort of people are running the veritable 300 year old City institution? Maybe the Exchange is worth 900p but the management team who've let this happen clearly aren't worth 9 bob.

PPC or Pills, Porn & Casinos are THE scummiest form of web advertising that any site can have, although they are the big money payers. Clearly the LSE puts money today over the great history and traditions of the past 300 years. What tomorrow for that extra pound of revenue, Valium?

The orignal patrons of Jonathan's Coffee house must be turning in their graves.
