Property Porn Experts: where are you?
Where are all the TV property pundits these days? House prices are plummeting. Whether it’s a heavy correction or a crash depends on perspective, yet either way the bubble is over. While most newspapers report this as a nightmare with shock “HOUSE PRICE CRASH 10% IN A YEAR” type headlines, I don’t believe it’s a wholesale negative....
Mocked on Mock The Week
MoneySaving’s getting mainstream … Fresh from being a weakest link question, thanks to the eagle eyed forumites (see mention in Mock The Week ) who spotted comedian Michael McIntyre taking the mick on the BBC2 show. To use forum speak, I ROTFL with it. It’s a brilliant clip, you can watch it here: BBC Iplayer (watch from...
Tool to find how big websites really are…
Many wee websites claim 100,000s hits, even though a hit means nothing. If you really want to see how big a website is, the rather clever Google Trends will now allow you to map the popularity of sites against each other.

Martin Lewis: Is it time to ban unnecessary Christmas presents?
17 September 2024![]()
Update September 2017: It’s eight years since I first braved this subject, expecting a snowstorm of protest. Instead, year after year more join in, like Julia who recently tweeted me, “@MartinSLewis, finally took your advice and told my family I can’t afford Christmas presents. What a weight off my mind. Thank you.” One year even the Archbishop of...
