OK lads – it’s time to step up. The Sunday Times and others reporting yet another critical supply chain issue out there as the backlog of hen do’s leads to a shortage of butlers in the buff. Brides-to-be in the UK need YOU (they’ve already rejected my application suggesting things are desperate but not that […]

On the face of it all was in line with expectations: Inflation projections revised up substantially, QE to end on 1st July, rates to rise 25bps in July and again in September (potentially a larger hike […]
“How long can this go on?” chimed one particularly disgruntled client as markets were on the whole steady and interest waned. Sideways markets in a tight range are painful for lots of people (especially sales-traders!) but may be a welcome respite to some having tumbled so aggressively in the first quarter. An FT Article from […]
With the Tube strikes still affecting the London commuter scene and the sun shining I decided to cycle in. Legs a bit sore I hopped on one of these fancy electric bikes that scatter the streets and headed into town. Everything was smooth till I tried to park it with the GPS playing up it […]
So you know we love a word of the day here and there could be none more appropriate after the weekend than Clinomania – the excessive desire to remain in bed. A four day spectacular in the UK (if you weren’t one of the estimated one billion people to see it this was the highlight […]

Pinch, punch, first day of the month, and no returns… White rabbits! Oft playfully sung across playgrounds and muttered by some as they wake up on the first day of a month, the origins aren’t that clear. Some claim Pres.
