Here’s how to do it…

I don’t think I’ll ever understand insurance
When I got my job at Automattic one of the added perks that I was looking forward to was decreased insurance for both my home and car.

Beware of customer reviews retailer websites!
I think most people are getting savvy to the customer reviews these days on the sites of retailers but if you’re still naive to it, here’s an example.
My Facebook timeline recently sported an advert for a pay-monthly toothbrush service – the Uber Sonic Club (no relation to the taxi service). However, reviews aren’t good.

It gives me some interaction with the world around me, exercise and, generally, I return happy and content.
But not recently. Instead I’ve been laughed at by a dog-owner when their animal attacked me, and had abuse shouted at me by a driver for crossing a road.

Because Next still divide their children’s clothes by old-fashioned views of how different sexes should dress and all the non-pink, glittery clothes are labelled for boys. Can somebody remind me which year it is?
