89929 Not since the very blustery days in February when storm Eunice was battering the UK and millions (including myself) couldn’t take their eyes of the live stream at Heathrow has a plane been watched so intently. Nancy Pelosi took off from Kuala Lumpur, went east over Indonesia, round the back of the Philippines and […]
89929 Well there we have it – it finally came home, the Lionesses with a famous victory in front out of a record crowd for a Euros final for either men or women which was fantastic to see. The first goal was superb but the highlight for me has to be when Chloe Kelly stormed […]
89929 I’ve spoken before about the many skills of Ben Denney, mostly about him and Charts team ability to pick out trends and key levels to keep an eye on and frame conversation. But this week I discovered a new skill as Ben hosted a call with a French client, running through various themes, in […]

89929 As regular readers of the Snapshot you’ll know by now I am quite a sports fanatic. If you haven’t watched it yet, the clip of Jake Wightman, the new World 1500m champion winning the race and his father and trainer commentating is a special watch. The way he held his composure in a time […]
89929 I’m not a huge fan, but who doesn’t love a bit of Queen? They’ve just made chart history by becoming the first act to sell seven million copies of an individual album in the UK (Greatest Hits 1981) and it must have been some of the most diverse sales (records, cassette, CD, mp3, electronic).

89929 “What have we got ourselves into here” said one of the three wild Bison to her two younger comrades as they stepped foot in the Kent countryside to become the first Bison to roam wild in the UK for 1000’s of years on the same day mercury tips 38 degrees. Timing is everything. My […]
No time for funny anecdotes, we’re getting straight into the more boring stuff that really isn’t that boring. Deep breath, here we go: We had the ECB announce that there will be an Ad Hoc meeting today.
