		<title>Save our Savings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the reasons this country is so deep in the mire is that our habit of living off borrowings has come back to bite us.  Even that most sacred of British holy grails – giving yourself the millstone of a mortgage only works if you believe that the house you will eventually own [...]]]></description>

		<title>Popcorn - the cereal killer lurking in our cinemas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Did you catch this weeks truly shocking news?  Rarely  has the news been so shocking.  Well – maybe the furore created by the revelation that Sugar Puffs had a high sugar content comes close… but the news today is that the muck people buy in cinemas is not exactly healthy.  Popcorn, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Now Falkland Islanders think it’s oil over</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At last  we know why Britain went to war with Argentina over the Malvinas.  It seemed at the time that a few thousand sheep and a couple of wind-swept, treeless islands in Argentina’s back yard were not really worth fighting for.- but all is now a little clearer.  The Falklands are sitting [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is health insurance in good health?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s a fact of life (and death) that insurance is one of those things you don’t need until you needed it. Then, maybe, if you are lucky, you’ll be glad you got it.   And then you might find there is something in the small print that suggests payment is not an option.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Having Children is a Costly Business</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Did you see the news this week that having a child costs the parents a mere £200,000?  I am not quite sure just how they arrived at such an eye-watering figure – but presumably it doesn’t include designer baby wear or champagne instead of baby milk.
All of which got me wondering why is it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Are self-obsessed sportsmen really news?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I thyink you might agree with me on this one.  There are surely rather too many vacuous sportsmen apologising for their inadequacies at the moment?  Now admittedly, I don&#8217;t think we&#8217;ll ever see Ashley Cole apologising for anything, no matter how crass his behavious.  But recently, even his noxious behaviour has been [...]]]></description>

		<title>It may be time for a new telephone supplier</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It seems I have a big decision to make this month.  Who to put my telephone and internet business with.  Apparently my contract with BT runs out at the end of the month.  Which probably means I will forget to do anything about it.  But I know I should – so [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thank God For Earthquakes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The men in suits (or more likely men in studiously casual open-necked shirts) who run the news channels must be delighted that God moves in mysterious ways and decided Haiti could do with an earthquake.  They now have something else to endlessly talk about.
Day after day, week after week we have seen intrepid reporters [...]]]></description>

		<title>Google Earth Finds Eldorado</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Did you see the intriguing news that the fabled lost city of the Amazon has been found by a nerd studying google earth?
Since the time of the conquistadors, the legend of an ancient, lost civilisation deep in the Amazon forest has beguiled hundreds of explorers and led many to their deaths. Some called their dream [...]]]></description>

		<title>Escape from the New Year Debt Trap</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think there is something rather weird about Christmas.  You spend days if not months planning for it – but the day itself disappears in a flash.  And every year there is something that comes back to haunt you.  This is money – or a lack of it.
There seems to be a [...]]]></description>
