Back in September I wrote a little about something I've been dealing with for the last four and a half years, a chronic back pain condition which developed after a relatively minor car accident back in 2006. Looking back, and this is not meant to sound in any way trumpeting, I was on a roll... Continue Reading →
Property: Honestly, Chef Ramsey, it’s not just you getting screwed…
Blimey, if banks had ears, there'd be a set burning bright scarlet this week. During several conversation with property players and professionals, my eyes have widened at the venom out there in the property marketplace and beyond for this big player in the UK market, good god, how short do they think people's memories are?...

Property: Panorama & dodgy landlords, but what about the rest of us?
Just once I'd like to see a show extolling the virtues of Fantastic Landlords and Landladys! Although last night's Panorama seemed like a well backed -up expose of a couple of shocking property companies/peeps, it only served to reinforce the belief in the mind of the watching public that all landlords are money-grabbing, problem-ignoring Rachmans...

Property: a landlord considering joining UWDC? DON’T!!
Dear Landlords everywhere, If anyone suggests to you joining UWDC, that's the Utility Warehouse Discount Club - DON"T. Dear Christ, just don't. Even if they tell you it's easier to have all your accounts under one roof - it isn't. Even if they tell you you'll earn money - you won't, it'll COST you money... Continue Reading →
