I see Admiral, BATS, GNK, IGG (who?), Imperial Brands, INF (another who?), Legal & General, National Grid, PNN (yet another who?) Schroders, Unilever and Vodafone as very good. The others patchy to say the least. Apart from the who? shares and GNK I hold all of these, I am glad to say. I like shares with a steady increase in the dividend over the years, much more than I do a high yield as such, although that is nice as well.
Phoenix and Chesnara are both to me serious omissions, as they have both a high current yield and decent growth in the dividends.

Hi Dod, thanks for your comments. Chesnara was omitted because the data isn't covered the website (market cap too small, I think) although it is in my HYP. Phoenix was omitted as it isn't in my HYP but it
is in my wife's HYP. So, actually we have them both, but they just weren't mentioned.
IGG is IG index, INF is informa Group, PNN is Pennon. Sorry not to have put names in. Informa, BTW was an acquired share when another company (UBM) was taken over. Although the yield is too low, the history seems quite good so I'm keeping it for the moment.
As regards the patchy ones: food for thought whether to axe them or just stay with the principle of diversity and LTBH. I'm averse to churning but I've no doubt things will continue evolve over the years. Last year there were quite enough changes to be going on with.
The better shares you've mentioned might well in line for extra funds in preference to others as they roll to the top of the rankings of HYPTUSS. In other words, these histories will become an input like any other to be pickered over at the appropriate time.
Arb.
