Are you offering to open up the BH offices for some remote work? I'll book a flight....
Amen! I look back at how I used to go to trade events in my 20s, go out till 2am, get up at 6am, work a full day till late and rinse and repeat. I'd die if I did that now!
Also was home by 8.30 last night, very sensible! Great to see you as always.
๐ฎ That, is, awful! Problem is you're not going to get Deputy Editor-level candidates and if you do happen across a staff writer who has it in them they'll use the opportunity to have to job title on their CV then move on within a year.
Outlook is the worst ๐

Lets spare a thought for all those dealing with the M&S cyber incident this week.
And to all the staff in-store supporting customers, I read one lady comment saying her daughter who works at M&S came home in tears from verbal abuse from customers who couldn't use certain services.
Be Kind.
Thanks Brian! Helpful as always.
Interesting - could just be IT issues....will keep an eye on
Thanks - yes a lot not clear at the moment. I think contactless has been restored at many stores, I even used it earlier to buy some lunch!
M&S has said its now stopping all orders via its website and app as part of its cyber incident response - three days after it first notified investors of the incident.
Anyone able to comment on why this action may have been taken as part of an incident response strategy?
