What will it take to educate the public that #ActiveManagement doesn’t work over the long term? #Invest in a cheap index tracker fund, ideally within a tax-efficient wrapper like an #ISA or #SIPP, and leave it alone until #retirement. The end.

Lots of pilots earning their stripes tonight. Quite a few wind shear reports and early go-arounds. #toga #stormIsha #avgeeks

Hey oneworld Alliance - please let customers choose which #airline #tickets #RoundTheWorld fares via your website. As a Brit, paying in £, with status on British Airways, it makes NO SENSE ticketing me on Qantas - who are incapable of changing RTW tickets (their main feature)!

Learning a lot of uncomfortable truths from “Tommy the Fraudster” of Wefightfraud.org at #Pay360. Humans are always the most fallible in the process. But why do banks’ customer processes have to make people so vulnerable to #fraud? #payments #fraud

Good lunchtime interview today by Atherton Sky Sports Cricket with Richard Gould, CEO England and Wales Cricket Board on the current state of #test #cricket and the plans for taking The Hundred #franchise to market in September.

Hi tomato.energy - new customer here. The meter display on myWatts looks nothing like my actual usage - why is that? #TOU #energy #electricity #SmartMeter #S2AD

At #siftedsummit today / tomorrow. Well attended and standing room only for the first main stage agenda items. Very little traffic on X/twitter 🪦 though, unlike other conferences. Where’s the online chat these days?

Just quietly going on about his business - no acknowledgement of this incredible milestone. Just head down, “got a job to do” attitude. What a class act Joe Root #cricket #TestCricket Test Match Special Sky Sports Cricket

This still isn’t fixed. Now broken for 137 of the last 150 days. How difficult is it to fix a base station Lutz Schüler O2? Time to raise it with Ofcom I guess… #o2 #mobile
