Budget 2018. What a wonderful surprise! No really, you shouldn’t have!
30 October 2018It was my birthday recently, so I was delighted when the Chancellor told me he had got me a present. A Budget!

"You ate my sandwich" - monitoring employees in the workplace
22 March 2019I would never give up a meal but I certainly wouldn’t begrudge someone a taste (unless they were a sibling – that’s a different story).
