If you don't mind dipping your investment toes into foreign stocks, there are quite a number of interesting Eurozone candidates many of which are household names....
e.g. BMW, Daimler, Unibail-Rodamco, Allianz, BASF, Aegon, ING Group
Hong Kong has some strong companies with good yields but HKD dividends may not be to everyones' liking.

Would you be so kind as to explain how this works in detail? I’m a basic-rate taxpayer and file my returns online, but I’ve never noticed a space for claiming from our tax people the portion that can’t be claimed from the foreign tax people.

For me it's the broader question about telecommunications and whether it's a good industry to invest in. It's exactly where I'm at with Vodafone. looks cheap, massive barriers to entry (cost), most likely to be required for the foreseeable future. I feel like telcomms should be a decent bet but the markets don't like them. I 've topped up Vod up to its max now in the HYP 4 percent, but I'm considering a further conviction play in the value portfolio.

Initially I was specifically thinking about blue chip global companies in the developed world paying a decent dividend and offer some growth. Companies that immediately appeal to me are Kraft, Pepsi and Nestle, I'll be honest I don't like the drag on income from an investment trust.
In specific scenarios like emerging markets and smaller cap I can see that I am getting added value. On the income side from blue chips I am less convinced of the benefits. That being said the yield on Murray international looks very interesting and trading at a slight discount.
@SalvadorHardin I know it's not am income share but what attracted you to Juventus, I can see that would complement my MSG holding and generally I'm quite bullish on the sports sector.
