Free Newspapers From Councils

Eric Pickles wants to ban these. Read about it here.

I get one from Hackney and it goes straight in the recycling.

If I want to find out what is going on, I use the Internet or read the local neighbourhood news, I get by e-mail.

I haven’t yet, but I might read a proper local newspaper, as I always did on Saturday in Suffolk.  but that was only for the football and the small ads.

Good Riddance!

I’ve just had a message through the ether from my late friend, David. He says, that he is pleased that Bob Diamond has resigned. Most of the other things he said were a touch garbled and until I get the proper message, I’ll not put any more of his thoughts.

I do know, that bankers of David’s era, will be happy with the splitting of retail and investment banking. After all the first is just computer processing on the back of decisions made by talking to your customers and the second is just gambling.

Incidentally, thinking about Zopa, it may not be a bank, but it is computer processing on the back of decisions made by talking to customers, with a bit of help from computerised credit scoring.
