"What's new?" some of the less kind of you will no doubt be saying. I'm aware that one or two of you mistake my healthy scepticism for curmudgeonliness.It's not so much that it is freezing cold, I'm still bogged down with sorting my mortgage out following the ill-fated mini-budget, that half the country's on strike, and the postal strike in particular is preventing me from accessing my money.
