THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE ALWAYS STATES ITS VALUE
It is a truth universally acknowledged that I know absolutely hee-haw about football. Not only don’t I know anything about it, such is my fear of hypermasculine conversations about it that I’ve been known to offer to go to the bar when the subject comes up. Which is odd, as the game I really follow […]
THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE SAYS IT’S A DEAL, IT’S A STEAL
You know that bit in Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels where Dog’s crew are ripping off Snow White and the Three Little Chemists, and they’re defending themselves with an air rifle and as the second guy in the crew gets shot with the air rifle, Dog says “I don’t believe it. Can everyone stop […]

THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE SAYS ONE WEEK TILL THE KIDS GO BACK TO SCHOOL
Oneweektilthekidsgobacktoschool Oneweektilthekidsgobacktoschool Oneweektilthekidsgobacktoschool Oneweektilthekidsgobacktoschool Not that it’s been a long summer or anything. Actually, it hasn’t. Time was that the financial industry would pack up and stop doing interesting things with all the enthusiasm of MPs heading off for a nice break with only about 10 weeks to go until the biggest constitutional shift in […]
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? […]
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 […]
