Having jumped on the diesel bandwagon some 10 years ago, I have now joined the rising tide of hybrid drivers. I took delivery of my new Toyota Auris Touring Sport a week ago and so far the fuel economy is looking pretty good – annoyingly (for other drivers) as soon as the electric battery kicks […]
Apparently, motorists would change their cars more often if the process was easier. When my Toyota Corolla Verso began to become increasingly expensive to keep on the road (not surprising since it had been my trusty road-going companion for 190k miles and almost 10 years), it was time to buy a new car. And so […]
Most certainly my children and quite possibly yours too. We have two in our house and some definitions class the eldest as one too although others identify her as the youngest of the Millennials. Generation Z were born between the late 90s, although some specifically say 1998, and 2010. Businesses have barely got to grips […]
How often do you read articles on LinkedIn and industry websites and think to yourself ‘that’s good advice, I will most definitely put that into practice’?

Ok, so that’s not quite true. You can reserve one of 50 limited edition Toyota Aygo vehicles available exclusively from Amazon by paying a deposit, if you are in Italy.

Yeah right, in my dreams! So let’s get real. If you’re a freelancer or you’re self-employed, you will be […]
Sure, the numbers speak for themselves – a fifth fewer youngsters took their driving test between 2007 and 2012 and less than a third (31%) of 17-20-year-olds hold a full driving license compared to 43% in 1995, but there are still plenty who either want to own their own car or like my daughter, view […]
So my 13-year-old son has a friend over to stay and heads huddled together they appear to be watching a film on the friend’s Kindle when my phone starts pinging with texts from the friend’s mum that their TV has randomly started doing its own thing. Whoops of joy from the boys and air punches […]
And, yes, I do mean mid-sentence. The appearance of random capital letters in the middle of sentences seems to be gaining more and more ground, to the point I am left wondering whether this proliferation is indicative of a generation or two who did not receive that most basic of grammatical lessons. For some reason, […]
