A good doctor

Yesterday I met with a private doctor locally I was recommended. I have a GP but on the two occasions I visited the surgery I had to wait over 45 minutes.. Recommendation is a powerful resource but in checking up on the doctor personally I was heartened that he studied and qualified at the [...]

Lords: a pictorial celebration

Sports photography is a neglected art so Andrew Strauss is to be congratulated in selecting 200 photographs to celebrate Lords in this pictorial celebration. It traces the history of Lords from its founder Thomas Lord to the era of the bearded doctor WG Grace and the present day. Lords is unusual [...]

To those that do not know, Emil Zatopek (1922-2000) was one of one of the greatest middle distance runners of all time, certainly in terms of records. He set 18 world records between 5k [...]

Marks and Spencer: share and store

When I worked as fashion editor of a national newspaper, I was  always surprised how infrequently the financial desk contacted me for my views on fashion and retail.  As I prepped up for this article I called Bob Tickler who is big on product and service in deciding an investment. He told me [...]
