I’m not really sure what to make of today, it might have been my depleted energy levels post (yet another) air-traffic-related delay flying back into Heathrow last night (I’m sure I am not the only one who has been a victim this summer) but Monday’s have become increasingly slow of late. The summer months drift on (and drift being the key word) and today was no exception with volumes falling close to a standstill across the major European indices. Understandable maybe given the highlight of the…

Today we heard the news that TV legend Michael Parkinson sadly passed away after suffering a short illness. A king of the chat show circuit, the interviewer’s job is to unearth breaking news, & funny stories to keep the audience captivated, but it’s not unheard of for those interviewed to uncomfortably turn on their host, as Parky found with Emu, and Russell Harty witnessed live on air with Grace Jones.

All eyes on the Lionesses tomorrow though and I am definitely rooting for a big win over the host Matilda’s (Chloe Kelly with a 87th minute winner if you ask me) but nothing is easy when you get to thi…

It’s a fine line this one. A tightrope walk. A tiptoe. All about finding the right balance between talking proudly about the new combination of Redburn and Atlantic without coming across as braggy. Measuring the utility of talking about what the new combination means for you without being TLDR as the cool kids say. But I think on balance we give it a go. Stay with me. Because we are super excited about it (sorry I’ve been spending quite a lot of time with my teenage daughters lately so everythi…
