    Cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin

    Back in August after watching the Netflix documentary "banking on bitcoin", I made a small investment (£100) in bitcoin. It had already rocketed in value so I was reluctant to invest a significant amount, I wish I had now as my £100 is now worth £210 and I have doubled my money. There are many...

    Banks clearing cheques

    How come in this supersonic age of technoogy, that it takes 3-10 days depending on account to clear a bloody cheque! To add insult to injury, and when I paid one in after 4 pm yesterday I was told that the banking clock had gone forward a day to today. Still bonuses all round, eh?
