So it’s Tuesday morning, and here I am, standing behind this complete loon at Tesco. There he is counting his money like he’s looking for buried treasure. Properly holding up the queue, too. Then he’s telling us about a 50p coin that is worth loads. I assumed he was bonkers, but as it happens, the […]
Alright, so here’s the deal. The banking world’s been buzzing with chatter about whether Barclays might snap up Santander UK. It’s been proper mental trying to keep up with all the rumours flying about. I caught up with a mate working in the city last week, and not even he knew what was going on. […]
Right, this one’s got me proper wound up. I popped into M&S last week for bits and bobs. Nothing special; just the same overpriced sandwiches and a bag of Percy Pigs to keep the kids quiet. I got to the car, looked at my receipt, and almost choked on my coffee. They had charged me […]
What a mess this has been. I’ve been buying stuff at M&S since I was knee-high to a grasshopper. This cyber-attack chaos was like watching a car crash in slow motion. The cyber-attack’s impact on M&S sales has been devastating. Left me gobsmacked at how vulnerable our favourite high street stores are. When the Lights […]
My mate Tony called me up last Thursday, proper excited. “Have you seen the Rolls Royce share price lately?” he asked. “I bought some shares two years back when they were dirt cheap. Now I’m wondering if I should cash out or hold on.” Fair question, really. I’d been watching RR shares myself and couldn’t […]
Blimey, I wish someone had told me about passive income twenty years ago! I was chatting to my neighbour Steve last month; he’s been getting £400 a month from his buy-to-let flat for the past five years whilst I’ve been grafting away at my 9-to-5. Made me properly jealous, if I’m being honest. So I […]
My mate Judy got the letter last Tuesday. You know the type; an official DWP envelope that makes your stomach drop before you even open it. “Your benefits are changing,” it said. Simple as that. No explanation about how she’s supposed to manage on less money when her multiple sclerosis hasn’t magically improved. That’s when […]
My mate Violet rang me last week in a bit of a panic. “I’ve just heard my Universal Credit might come early in August,” she said. “What’s all that about then?” Honestly, I wasn’t sure myself at first. But after doing some digging around, it turns out the DWP has some pretty important changes coming […]
My dad rang me Tuesday morning. “That Santander share you mentioned, what’s it doing today?” Fair question. He’d bought some shares a few months back after I told him the bank looked solid. The problem is, he checks the price about seventeen times a day and panics every time it drops a penny. “Dad,” I […]
You walk past the same dealership every day. Maybe you’ve bought a car there. Maybe you’ve just waved to the staff while walking the dog. Maybe your dad used to take the family car in for service every spring like clockwork. Then one day, there’s a sign on the window—“Closing Down”—and that familiar place suddenly […]
Are you looking to start a business in the UK but unsure of where to begin? Then you have landed on the right page. It may sound daunting at the start, but once you understand what to do, it gets much easier. You just need to follow the right steps, and you also need to […]
Who hasn’t heard of Warren Buffett? Although he does not like to flaunt his wealth such as driving around in gold-plated cars or flies in private jets. He lives in the same house he bought in 1958 and drinks Coca-Cola like it’s going out of style. Still, he is ranked among the richest people in […]
