A retreat in mining stocks offset gains in financials from Bank of America's decision to repay bailout funds, leaving Britain's top share index down 0.3 percent at Thursday's close. The FTSE 100 shed 14.39 points to end at 5,313.00, after gaining 0.3 percent on Wednesday. Banks were the top risers with sentiment helped by Bank of America Corp's announcement it would hand back $45 billion of government rescue funds.
