Writing for other people’s websites
Why not? If he is an authority on, say, commercial property, his opinion on certain aspects of that market would interest readers. I have never heard of a newspaper that strikes out the quoting of people!- FreddyG

AVIVA dragging their heels on shares payout...
Very true. But sometimes, because all prices are discovered at the margins, lots of Jo Punters rushing to the exits can set an unwelcome signal. Aviva is probably undervalued (according to The Motley Fool) so if that share package is substantial (£50k plus?) it might be worthwhile waiting to... -

AVIVA dragging their heels on shares payout...
If you look at the share price, you will see why they are giving you the run-around. The price double-peaked and looks as if it might go down in the coming days/months. The last thing they need is a mad rush to sell! -

Freditorial - fancy a death spiral, anyone?
You can't F'ing miss it! Iran! But to top it all, Trump is considering a military operation to extract almost 1,000lb of uranium from Iran, according to reports in various papers, including the WSJ and the FT. US officials told the Wall Street Journal that Mr. Trump had not yet given the... -

An overlooked pressure affecting many small businesses?
I have commissioned several buildings on a handshake. But then, this was always with people I have known for decades! It's the little fiddly jobs where things go pear-shaped and this is invariably because the customer or the supplier is really a punter and not a business person. Things can...- FreddyG

Bad debt
A nice letter to the in-laws, explaining your situation and if they could help you, would be my advice. Anything more might be taken as harassment. Use the last known UK address anyway. If the debtor has not formally notified you of a new address, you can still write to the last known...- FreddyG

Companies House screws up again!
We all should have received the following email (the German expression "Armutszeugnis" springs to mind!) - Sent: Wednesday, March 18th 2026, 14:14 Subject: Important information about your Companies House account This is an official email from Companies House...- FreddyG

Freddietorial - CLOs?
The Global Financial Crisis (GFC) of 2008 was caused at its roots by the irresponsible issuing of dozens of bundled debt called Collateralised Debt Obligations (CDOs), usually about $1bn each and sold as shares at about $10k each. At the base of these CDOs were all kinds of dodgy debts, such as... -

How long does a (successful) press release take to start appearing as articles?
OK, here's the skinny! I used to run a news agency and one of our (many) sidelines was to do PR for companies. An app is of zero interest! The moment a sub-editor sees the word "app", your PR piece goes straight into File Thirteen! It is one of those non-stories that we used to call "Sony...- FreddyG

Legal action against my business : Intellectual Property Design breach
1. All IP issues are ALWAYS down to the details. That is why you MUST talk to an IP lawyer. Take Lisa's advice and get a 30-min free consultation, if it is available. 2. It sounds as if you have been importing some Chinese knock-offs that are also being sold by many other vendors in the UK...- FreddyG

Trump’s cognitive dissonance - and why it matters!
He will have quoted Napoleon, "Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake!" And now the Orange Nutter has alienated every other NATO country with his stupid and thoughtless remarks about the totally pointless Afghanistan campaign. "Switch on brain before engaging mouth!" One... -

Trump’s cognitive dissonance - and why it matters!
Russia is extremely weak right now, so I am not too worried. Trump cannot attack Greenland because that requires agreement from Congress. He cannot buy Greenland because he cannot pay in dollars, as that would crash the dollar and the US does not have anywhere nearly enough gold to pay for... -

Trump’s cognitive dissonance - and why it matters!
(I am putting this here and not in the "Time Out" section, because this will affect every business in the UK.) Trump's letter to the Prime Minister of Norway was a triumph of self-indulgent rhetoric over reality. It was the day satire became truly redundant. A schoolchild could have told him it... -

2026 off with a bang?
According to the Miami Herald, which has strong contacts in Latin America, Ms Rodríguez had reached out to Washington to present herself as a "more acceptable" alternative to the Maduro regime. On Sunday, Francisco Santos Calderón, Colombia’s former vice-president, suggested the entire...
