THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE IS CONTENT
Welcome, willkommen, bienvenue to the middle of your week; we’ve been expecting you. It’s a funny old week this week – not ha ha funny, you understand, more crippling existential angst funny – what with those of you in That England having a bank holiday and also a fiery celestial omen giving off unnatural heat. […]
THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE IS RIGHT-SIZED
Right, now pay attention. We’ll get to the usual Update in a moment, but instead of the usual whimsy to ease you into your lunchtime, I’ve got an important announcement. Ready? WE’RE HIRING! Inexplicably, more and more clients seem to like what we do, and so we need to extend the cat basket. We’ve got […]
THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE TAKES ITS DUTIES SERIOUSLY
And it’s lovely and all that, and I’m glad for the publicans and the restauranteurs, but can I just make it clear right now that anyone trying to engage in wanton hugging round here will be given such an Edinburgh lemon-sooking hard stare that even Donald Dewar himself would have recoiled. Ho, ho. Just kidding. […]
THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE STILL LOVES ROUND NUMBERS
And so as we embark upon our government-sanctioned cautious hug spree (all except in Scotland where we shun such fripperies), we can start thinking properly about what we want to keep and what we want to leave behind from the last year and a bit. I’ll look forward to being able to go for a […]
THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE REMEMBERS CAPITAL UNITS
So that’s me back after a dalliance with the UK’s way of dealing with people who aren’t alive any more – initial skirmishes broadly successful but we haven’t even got to the IHT stuff yet. Thanks once again to those of you who sent best wishes and especially to those who stuck a fiver in […]
THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE WILL DO IT FOR HALF THE PRICE
Well, I’m not quite sure what to say. So I’ll just say a big thank you – to Steve for writing such a nice thing last week, and to the many of you who’ve sent condolences and messages. This industry can be a very supportive place when we put our minds to it, and although […]
THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE WON’T BE NEEDING THE BARBER
You always know when it’s spring because it starts snowing. This is the Universe’s way of having a little fun with you; one week it’s taps aff and paggers in the Meadows; the next the heating is back on and the big duvet is out the cupboard again. The Universe enjoys its little jokes, does […]
THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE WOULD MAKE A GREAT OMBUDSCAT
No, but we would, Hear us out, right? The thing is, this new report finds that FOS isn’t doing what it’s meant to do, which is provide fair dispute resolution at speed and without being too spendy about it. The report – well summarised by Jenna from Professional Adviser here – will make uncomfortable reading […]
THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE HAS ALWAYS BEEN MOBILE
Some confusion here at the lang cat’s Secondary Port Authority as everyone else marks their year of lockdown this week, whereas ours was last week. Maybe we’re just even more antisocial than everyone else. Whichever is the case, this is as good a time as any to send a cloud of positive vibe-filled ethereal psychic […]
HAPPY LOCKDOWNIVERSARY FROM THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE
Jings, crivvens and help ma boab, it was a year ago yesterday that we emptied the fridge, fumigated the harder-to-reach areas of someone’s desk (M**k L***e) and had a quick fight over who would get to take the rest of the bog roll home (me). We shut the shutters and that’s been that for a […]
