THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE RESUMES NORMAL SERVICE WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT
Hello again, it’s me back from a month away, and I’m disturbed to see that you all kept reading and engaging with the Top Class Wednesday Update at normal levels while I was away. How am I meant to promote deep feelings of inadequacy and worthlessness in my team if you’re all unfaithful like this? […]
TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE DOESN’T STOP FOR A NEW PRIME MINISTER
No doubt we’ve all heard quite enough about that particular tale, so let’s not linger. Right, as the boss continues basking on foreign shores, it’s my turn to keep his metaphorical chair warm. FAIR HAS TO BE FAIR FOR ALL Treating customers fairly is, happily, firmly embedded in the industry. It sits quietly in the […]
THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE ASKS FOR HELP WHEN IT NEEDS IT
Well hello there. Mr Barrett has kindly passed on the metaphorical baton to cover for the gaffer, who is currently enjoying his well-earned-I’m-sure summer hols. Big shoes to fill. Mind you, a few months back I spoke at a thing and some unnamed darling came up to me and said that, when they closed their eyes, I sounded […]
THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE DON’T LIKE CRICKET, OH NO, IT LOVES IT
Week two of the boss man’s holiday is normally when he finally switches off, and radio silence is maintained. I last saw/heard from him 5 days ago via Strava, heading off for a walk in 32-degree temperatures. I’ll give it a couple more weeks before I send for a search party. Anyway, on to the […]
THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE NEVER TAKES A HOLIDAY…
If you are a regular reader of this email, boy did you get a classic end of season cliff-hanger at the end of last week’s episode. The boss has gone off on his hols, tossing the keys to the TCWU machine in the direction of his drones from sector 7g. Will the update be sent? […]
THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE WILL HAVE A LARGE GLASS OF RED, THANKS
There are many fine things about being Scottish. Our sense of fun; our ability to withstand hours in hot sunshine, and our famous athleticism are but three. Maybe the best thing, though, is that we get school summer holidays nearly a month earlier than the English, which means two things. Firstly, our holidays are cheaper, […]
THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE WILL FAN THE MOONBEAMS FROM YOUR SLEEPING EYES
Ah, siblings, it isn’t long until the summer solstice, when all right-thinking financial planners free themselves from the shackles of capacity for loss, centralised investment propositions, RMAR returns, PI excesses and primary platform relationships, strip down and go for a right old dance around the nearest set of megaliths. I think we’re all ready for […]
THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE NEVER INHALED AND YOU CAN’T PROVE OTHERWISE
Well, that’s been quite a week, hasn’t it? I think the only thing that could top it in the week to come is if Neil Woodford admits to a strong fondness for Colombian marching powder in his twenties and is immediately elected leader of the Conservative party. I think we’ve all had enough of That […]
THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE IS HIGHLY LIQUID
I’ll let you into a secret – sometimes coming up with a grabby title for the Update is a bit of an effort. Sometimes, however, it falls into your lap, and today is one of those days. I’ll get to the big issue of the week in a moment, but first just a small word […]
THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE SAYS ENOUGH TYPING ALREADY
Hello, have we all calmed down a bit now? I do hope so. It’s all been quite exhausting. It’s come to my attention (hi Tom) that I have broken a promise. More specifically, a promise about the Updates, and there’s nothing I take more seriously than that. Even more specifically than that, I promised that […]
