First, as always, plan ahead and know what paperwork you may need to visit your chosen destination. We had two trips to Greece and each time we needed to provide a copy of the Greek Government acknowledgement of our registration before being allowed on board the plane. Each country has different requirements so it is best to check the respective government websites rather than just relying on your airline carrier’s advice. Equally, know what may be required upon your return to the UK in the form of test and trace documentation which is now compulsory. Pleasantly and slightly surprisingly, Heathrow …

Has the innovation/challenger business reached its peak?
We all understand these are challenging times, COVID COVID COVID. My god even our own government has failed cosmically on every level doing more u-turns than a London Cab! But is Covid really to blame? For years we have watched businesses receive massive investments, yet not make a profit or even be close to making a profit. I can hear you all now, “but we are investing in the future” and how many times have we heard that one. When I was a kid, I was taught never spend more money than you have, stay out of debt, keep up …

Changing our hoarding habits to find value in leftover currency.
WHY are we such hoarders. AND WHY we should change the habit? We all have a habit of keeping everything just in case it may come in useful later on. From clothes, to jewellery, knick-knacks to foreign currency, people of a certain age were brought up to value everything, waste nothing and to be generally frugal – they may have even passed this way of thinking onto their children and grandchildren! It’s in our DNA to hold onto everything, believing that in time it will obtain a value. It’s a habit and it’s a habit that needs to be looked …

Debit Card v Credit Card
On a recent trip to Berlin (Christmas market stuff with the wife, excellent place I can recommend it to anyone!) I wanted to take some cash. There is this huge argument going on regarding cash at the moment, mainly how much longer will it be with us. Well folks, judging by that trip alone I think you will find that cash is still very much king. In some restaurants they actually only took cash, and these are the same restaurants that have been around for a while and are not closing down, as you might suspect. I would suggest that they do not want to …
