The Top Class Wednesday Update lives seven metres above sea level
Hello, happy Wednesday. Unusually, I’m writing this early this morning (if you’re reading it on the day it comes out; if you’re reading it later then that last statement is fake news and you should ignore it). As I’m doing a quick scout of news to see if there’s anything that would make a better […]
The Top Class Wednesday Update is a fan of change
Hello, hello, back again. After having done something like 150 of these Updates, it’s a wonderful thing to have a team that can not only dep on Update duty from time to time, but even volunteers for it sometimes. I mean, there was Mike before – celebrating his 7th birthday with us this very day […]
The Top Class Wednesday Update is bathed in sunshine all year round
Good afternoon, everyone, Rich Mayor here doing the update this week as we’ve been crunching the platform numbers and our own to see if we can keep the ever-more-expensive leccy on in Edinburgh. Thankfully for me the South Coast of England is bathed in glorious sunshine 365 days a year, so 50p in the meter […]
The Top Class Wednesday Update had a nice time thanks
So how would we rate the last couple of Updates then? I thought Scott’s was very good. Didn’t read Mike’s. Only kidding. I was indeed at my first industry awards do for – I think – four years last week, having forsworn them long before the pandemic. I remember being a total grouch at one […]
The Top Class Wednesday Update hasn’t got a hangover
It is probably fair to assume a good number of our TCWU readers attended the Professional Adviser awards last night. I hope you all had a great evening and are feeling bright and energetic. Mark has been “in meetings” all morning, so for this week I’m on update duty. Fear not – there will be […]
Yes, The Top Class Wednesday Update just went there
With Boss man Mark Polson away, it’s down to me to write this week’s update. Finally, someone sensible, you’re probably thinking. Someone we can get on board with. Don’t set your hopes high though. Doing an OK job means he may want me to write it again, and I’ve been stung before. At home I […]
The Top Class Wednesday Update says wan oot all oot
A shorter than usual Update this week, siblings, as many of you will have been plagued by us already with communications about the beta launch of MPS Analyser to sit alongside Platform Analyser. And we certainly don’t want to test the limits of your endurance, not least as many of you are about to head […]
Happy new tax year from The Top Class Wednesday Update
It gets earlier every year, doesn’t it? I still remember fondly the years of midnight deadlines, getting applications time-stamped so that they could be keyed as if they were from the day before, and the hunted look all round as everyone girded their loins to just get through it. Oh OK, it doesn’t get earlier […]
The Top Class Wednesday Update would have put a bit more on it
So I was going to have a week off the Update, but it’s been a busy old week and so I thought I’d jot down a couple of musings on the news of the day, or yesterday when you read this. No, not a tall man slapping a slightly shorter man in the face. Before […]
The Top Class Wednesday Update tolerates ambiguity
First things first, thank you to those who wrote last week to check on my health. I’m pleased to say that about 80% of correspondents just took the mick, but 20% or so were genuinely solicitous. To them I send much love, reassurance that it’s not a new and more deadly form of Covid, and […]
