The “payouts”, “winnings”, or “interest” are done on a monthly draw. There is no guarantee you will “win” anything, but you could “win” up to £1million each month. So, it’s a bit like playing the lottery, except if you don’t “win” you haven’t lost your money, equally you...
1. Your investment is risk-free. If you put in £50k, you still have your £50k to take out, no matter what.
2. You can add or take out money from it at any time, up to the £50k investment limit.
3. Any interest earned is tax-free.
4. The average return (as of April 2026) is 3.3%,...
The Wife chose a 4 pack of Eufy S3 Pros with a Homebase as a birthday present for me. Still playing around with the settings, but excellent image quality (4K video) and all saved to a physical drive in my house. Wifi range is at least 45 metres, and the built in solar panels are keeping the batteries...
While watching the news, I quickly searched to discover that James Burke is still alive. I’m a tad disappointed that the BBC haven’t flown him out to the US for a live piece to camera this evening.
I'm getting some calls about projects, but also hearing of delays and uncertainties due to Trump's wars and actions. We may need to ride out the storm until he is no longer able to do damage....

It's quite common for clients to ask their current tranche of contractors if anyone knows of someone who is available with a certain skill set, or the flip side is that someone applies...
Morning all
Overcast, 9C and dry. A pleasant walk was had, although my back is a bit sore today following on from a trailer load of well-rotted horse manure being delivered last night which required off-loading. Between three of us we managed to get the trailer off the car and push it up...
Yes, you're right, in the 70s, Heath caused the 3 day week, and you had to wait 30 years to get broadband installed.
Definitely no responsibility for the state of the UK infrastructure should ever be blamed on private businesses or conservative governments, it's always the fault of evil...
Overcast, but dry here. Warmer than the last couple of mornings.
Is it just me or is Globle (country version) down? I can get into the cities one, but not the countries, where I was up to 199 wins.
In other news, the gardener turned up yesterday (supposed...
Wait till you hear about who owned and maintained the water, the electricity, the gas, and the telephones in the UK in the 1950s. All "abdicated" as you put it, under Heath and Thatcher, on the promise of competition, improvement in quality and reduction in cost. Now it's owned by refinanced...
