Bridgerton season four review – fear not nudity fans, the sex scenes continue apace
This period drama’s puddingy mix of clunking soap and fairytale wish-fulfilment is hard to resist. It is, however, utterly bananas

Huge respect to the papers for finding both an 88 year old worried about the tax bill on her 6 bedroom Kensington house and a 20 year old fretting about only being able to save £12k a year tax free.
Top work all around. These are not easy case studies to find.

This cannot be, surely, be news to ANYONE.
Baby boomers are the richest generation because they bought homes and invested in stocks before they exploded in value, economists say.
But younger generations are more likely to be weighed down by debt or child care costs.
But younger generations are more likely to be weighed down by debt or child care costs.
How baby boomers got so rich, and why their kids are unlikely to catch up
The wealthiest generation holds more than $85 trillion in assets thanks to economic conditions Gen X, millennials and others would be hard-pressed to replicate.

In 2004, Parisian police were conducting a training exercise in the french catacombs and found, after moving past a desk and a tape playing audio of snarling dogs, a fully functional movie theater and bar. When they returned 3 days later, the equipment was gone, with a note: “Do not try to find us.”
