New Bigger MSE Towers
We all walked in to our new office today, and it’s gone pretty smoothly, though the place is still full of moving crates (see pic below). MSE towers is based in an office complex in Shepherds Bush, and we’ve moved within the building to a bigger space (about 220 sq metres or 2,400 sq foot). Actually this...
La Tasca YUM! 50% off ALL FOOD…
Do vouchers work for restaurants? Well, I just tried somewhere new & loved it! Having scanned down the restaurant vouchers list, the other day, to see what was available. My eyes popped onto a La Tasca 50% off deal; actually better than a 2for1 as it’s 50% off all food including starters and desserts. Now I’m not...
FSA Consumer Panel… Bank Charges, PPI, and Setting off…
I’ve just travelled back from the FSA’s Canary Wharf headquarters, where I was invited to watch and speak at a meeting of its consumer panel, by acting Chairman Adam Philips.

9 August 2022![]()

Update 17 July 2017: We tend to think since Brexit that the pound’s weaker than it has been for decades. While somewhat true against the dollar, against the euro it’s only a tad worse now than when I first wrote this in 2014. The logic of this blog stands just as strongly now.
