I’m not a dividend investor either but you might want to add Centamin (CEY) to the list of miners.

No problems thanks for watching 
Thanks for this. The list doesn’t contain a few bigger ones eg Royal Mail. Should I just edit the list?
Go for it!

Just one remark here for newer investors. Dividend investing does not mean to just throw everything at companies with the highest yield (there can be very alarming reasons for a high yield). But more towards companies that consistently grow their revenue and dividend with it.

Morningstar publish a dividend stocks list that is a bit more considered than most clickbait lists:
As noted above high yields are not necessarily a good thing. Since the dividend yield is partly a function of the share price, such that if the share price drops and the dividend payment stays the same, the yield as a % of the share price increases. So if a share has what appears to be an unusually high dividend yield, it’s probably because people are selling the shares and driving the price down. In which case understanding why the shares appear unattractive would be time well spent…
