A uniform,YIKES!

Quick heads up. Her majesty the Queen is on BBC1 now.

Maybe I should be selling bikes then? The same risk can be perceived differently. I would deem it more risky to invest in an EBike business than than property, so Ebikes are not an investment for me.

That's very true and a sobering thought. But think how many more would have died if Nazi Germany hadn't been defeated.

This is very true, banks are not paying anything approaching inflationary rates of interest, so by keeping all that you have worked for in a bank, everyday it ebbs away. I have tried to spread the risk, by investing in property, banks accounts, managed funds, a final salary company pension...

I’ve just come across this piece of European nostalgia. This is a screwdriver made by my 16 year old father when he was an apprentice. The connection to Europe is as follows: The metal shaft is made from the cylinder head bolt of a Rolls Royce Merlin engine. The engine came off an Avro...

Having reviewed your investments, I feel that you should use the following logo from here onwards Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I don't hate them, I think they need straightening out. Free money is not the way to do that. More stick, less carrot.

So if we boil all the crap out of this, we are left with you receiving a pension from a managed company pension fund which most likely investments in property, including housing. In other words, you profit from the property market. Remove the fund manager and you & I invest in the same way, but...

It’s about supporting and encouraging people who just want to progress through life via hard work. Perhaps that’s the problem some have with it.

It helped my niece, she is a big fan. She wanted the security of owning rather than renting. That’s her choice and she works hard.

I must revisit this reference to the government’s help to buy scheme of yours again. You know very well that you can’t use the scheme to buy a second home. So why did you post those words? Help to buy has benefitted many young working people. My niece has just moved into her first home as a...

1) You still haven’t answered my question regarding your present income. Is it entirely sourced from work that you currently do, or is it from investments such as a pension? If you are in receipt of a pension, it is almost certain that you are benefiting from property investment. So what do you...

From the very few preliminary meetings and training that I have attended so far, I have seen exactly the same thing.

Someone unfortunate enough to find themselves in the circumstances you describe through accident, illness, redundancy or other happening beyond their control are the benefit recipients who need and should receive help. That’s what the welfare system is for. Unfortunately, the people for whom...

Different things, different needs, different individual circumstances to what we’ve been discussing.

It’s called investment. Someone asks me to do a job for them because I have a particular skill or talent that will be of benefit to them. At the end, they pay me for the service I provide. What am I supposed to do with the payment? Put it into the mattress? I take it from your response that you...

OG, it commendable to have a benevolent streak and want to see fairness in society. However, in your case I think this has become an obsession to the point where your view of life has become distorted and you see unfairness where none exists. For example, let’s take this Help to Buy scheme. You...

I still don't perceive this as a benefit, more as a helping hand to assist those who are trying. If someone has worked for a while, scraped a bit of cash together and shown themselves to be reliable, then this scheme can give them a leg-up, which is a good thing. They don't need to be rich or...
