* FTSE 100, FTSE 250 up 0.3%
* Lookers falls after CEO departure, profit warning
* Miners provide biggest boost to main index
Nov 1 (Reuters) - The UK blue-chip index bounced back on
Friday after its worst session in a month, with miners leading
gains following upbeat data from the world's top metals
consumer, China, while car dealership firm Lookers tanked after
another profit alert.
The FTSE 100 .FTSE was 0.3% higher by 0805 GMT, recouping
some of the more than 1% drop in the previous session, and the
FTSE 250 .FTMC added 0.3%.
Lookers LOOK.L plunged 30% on the smallcap index after the
company issued its second warning on profits in less than four
months and announced the departure of its two top executives.
