Clever Towers in Darkness

None of the Cleveratom team have been at their usual desks today in
Chelmsford due to a faulty underground electricity cable delivering no
power supply to Clever Towers.

The guys from EDF are working into the evening (pictured above) to get
us back on, and hopefully we won't have to all work from our homes
again tomorrow.

Interest rate cut won't help quick enough

Todays news that the Bank of England has lowered interest rates by
1.5% to 3% although a good move..... It won't be actioned fast enough
by the banks in time for the festive season..

As a customer with a tracker mortgage I'll benefit, yet the bank did
not action the 0.5% drop last month in time for this months mortgage
payment, which means this months rate drop will not take effect till
January.

The result, less money to spend during the Christmas period, less
money buying goods and services, less demand, more job cuts.

The need? A firework up the backside of the bank that has been quick
to process an interest rate increase and painfully slow to process a
decrease. There is no point in giving a cut unless banks are forced to
process it quickly.

What happens next? I predict a further cut of 1.0% next month, and
that won't be enough. Banks are greedy.

G.O.L.D. Check your facts!

Flicking through the TV channels on Saturday I was surprised to read
on the episode information for 'Waiting for God' on digital channel
G.O.L.D. that actor Graham Crowden, 'Tom' in the show is referred to
as 'The late, great Graham Crowden'.

Surprised to read this a quick search of the Internet Graham Crowden
(an excellent talent) is very much still with us, with an active career.

G.O.L.D. Check your facts before writing false information..
