  I had to laugh out loud yesterday when reading the paper and seeing that Wells Fargo was going to have to pay $3.4 million to customers to settle a regulator’s claims that brokers recommended certain investment products they did not fully understand. Really? $3.4 Million, that’s all? OK, I’m going to get on my soapbox here so […]




AirBnB not applicable in China

Oct 11th, 2017 | By | Category: News

Exert from “The Hustle”:  Aside from struggling to adjust to China’s different set of cultural norms re: sharing homes with strangers, Chinese consumers have also been critical of Airbnb’s recent effort to rename itself “Aibiying” (translation: “welcome each other with love”) in China — which convinced Chinese people it was either a brothel or a […]

The strategy is often that there is no strategy, only energy.”  Chris Blackwell – founder Island Records, Discoverer and booster of Bob Marley

It’s not because of the referendum, but the coffee blend prepared at this specialist cafe in Bath, Post-Brexit UK, by experts who strive for perfection, changes weekly and there are three blends to choose from.

A post-Brexit coffee tastes different

Jun 25th, 2016 | By | Category: News

I am enjoying an espresso at the ultimate specialist cafe serving perfect coffee in Bath, post-referendum UK. It tastes different because the blend of coffee, it’s origin, changed, not because of the vote.
