Like two foxes in copulatory lock, the British economy now finds itself being pulled in two equal and opposite directions. While the Fiscal Dog of Downing Street pulls one way with tax cuts designed to drive growth, the Monetary Vixen in Threadneedle Street is ramping up interest rates to contain inflation.

Tim Marshall’s book, Prisoners Of Geography, is a fascinating exploration of the ways in which the physical world around us has shaped human history and will continue to do so in the future. I also think it contains an implicit critique of the way in which fund managers have tended to divide the world up.

Sir Roger Scatcherd was a hopeless alcoholic. He died a painful and untimely death at the hands of his addiction to the bottle, leaving behind him a wife and one son in his early twenties. He was also incredibly wealthy.

Sir Roger’s Will stipulated that his estate should be held in Trust for Louis Philippe until he attained twenty-five years of age, with Dr Thorne acting as

On Saturday I returned from a fabulous week away with family and friends on the West Coast of Scotland. On a different note yesterday saw the announcement of this year’s A level results. But what links these seemingly unconnected events?

St. Jude, sometimes known as Thaddeus or Lebbaeus, was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ. Along with Bartholomew he is credited with being the first to bring Christianity to Armenia before being martyred in Beirut around 65AD (Source: Wikipedia).

In the Roman Catholic Church St. Jude is also the patron saint of lost causes.

At 9.30pm last Saturday night an 80 year-old knight of the realm took to The Pyramid Stage as the headline act at Glastonbury Festival. By the time Sir Paul McCartney and friends had finished two hours 50 minutes later he had played a set comprising thirty-six songs and, I confess, I had gone to bed.

Us Brits have a deeply ingrained affection for the oak tree. You can see it in the place names, company names and expressions that we derive from Quercus robur. Indeed “Heart of Oak” is the official march of the Royal Navy with its rousing words, “Heart of oak are our ships, heart of oak are our men…”

As famous footballers’ body parts go Gary Mabbutt’s Knee may not be able to rival Diego Maradonna’s Hand of God, but it has had a club fanzine named after it. I was reminded of this yesterday whilst listening to the owner of the infamous joint being interviewed for Radio 5 Live’s “Winners Enclosure” feature.

There has been much talk of late in the investment world about the move out of so-called ‘growth’ stocks and into ‘value’ companies. The catalyst for this has been the now established trend of rising interest rates, augmented by the war in Ukraine. This serves as a timely reminder of the importance of diversification.

Last weekend a friend asked me what I think about when I’m out on my bike. After a couple of moments’ reflection, I replied by saying what I like about my time pedalling along the country lanes of Norfolk is actually not thinking.

“All staff to receive £120.00 per month cost of living allowance until further notice”. So read the eye-catching headline of a post I came across on social media this week. It got me thinking and left me wondering whether I’m becoming unduly cynical…

Then there is the amount. Again, I reiterate that anything is better than nothing but, based on January’s average weekly earnings for total pay of £596,

Last week’s Spring Statement by Chancellor Rishi Sunak did not go well for him. As he sought to take aim at the so-called “cost of living crisis”, subsequent reaction suggests he ended up shooting himself in the foot. But the Labour Party’s suggestion of a windfall tax on Big Energy companies carries a valuable lesson too.
