Editor’s note: Tonight The Money Principle presents a guest article by Bob Richards: a rich guy and publisher of The Retirement Income Blog. There Bob discusses and provides information on all matters pertaining to retirement. Oh, and he doesn’t try to convince you that if you failed to start a…
This week I’d like to share with you a genuine surprise to me, and a very pleasant one at that. It happened on Thursday, the day I visit the Job Centre every fortnight. And in fact it was two weeks ago I wrote about ‘The Grey Building’ here on…
Editors note: Alex muses over the noise of shopping now and wonders what it will be like in years to come! Common haggling and bargaining for goods is a practice long since instinct in our parts of the world. Today shop assistants can do as little as point at a…
Editor’s note: Tonight Alex takes us to the Job Centre; from the archaic computer systems to the apprehension and boredom of the people involved. He may not be successful in finding the ‘funny side’ of all that but the irony should not be lost on us. The Job Centre, it’s…
Editor’s Note: This week Alex ventures into his back yard for a barbeque … It’s funny how we are in this country, and we are indeed the subject for plenty of laughter. It’s barbeque weather in England and so it’s time to switch off those TV’s, for an hour at…

Editor’s note: This is another one of the series of posts by Alex charting his way out of the rut of unemployment. Well it is back to the grindstone of filling time. After two weeks wilfully participating in a great work-based training course it is now down to myself alone…
Editor’s note: This is another post by Alex – this time as an exception it is on Monday. He is still keeping the Friday slot on TMP. I have now finished the two week work-based training course conducted by ICM (Institute of Customer Management), and if I’m honest I’m…
Editor’s note: This Friday we continue to follow Alex on his way to employment. With the first week of his training over, he discovered unexpected side(s) to himself; you, our dear readers, will learn whether a Jaffa cake is a cake or a biscuit – as I’ve said before you…
Editor’s Note: This is another post by Alex; this week he shares some encouraging news – he has been referred to a training course which is likely to get him a job interview. Let us wish him luck! This week’s entry will concentrate on a more positive outlook from a…
