Still no texts… but the MSF got 7.

20 March 2008

If you read my why does no one text me? blog, you’ll know that these days after I’ve been on TV I don’t get any texts from friends or family.

Rather bizarrely this week, the MSF appeared on It Pays To Watch in a package about mobiles. As soon as she finished she got SEVEN, yes SEVEN texts and I didn’t get one. This really is rather silly; it’s MY programme after all…

I wanted to write a brief note today, primarily to express thanks for the huge volume of support, shared grief, emotional outpourings and condolence messages I’ve had. I’ve been overwhelmed in every way. Doing the Radio 5 Live interview...
A year ago Santander 123 halved its interest to 1.5% – now most should consider ditching it

30 October 2017

Update Note: 12/12/2017. I wrote this blog just before November’s base rate rise, predicting then UK rates would rise and Santander 123 wouldn’t follow. Well UK rates did rise, and Santander’s confirmed it won’t follow. So everything below still stands.

Are student loans broken? What I told Uni Minister Jo Johnson
