By Jack Peat, Editor of The London Economic You don't have to travel the world to feel worlds apart. There's something quite magical about packing an overnight bag out of London and ending up somewhere so distant from the densely packed city scape of the capital that it almost feels as though you've been travelling for days. As a tireless worker, I have always found it difficult to turn off. The city is full of short-term solutions that momentarily take...

Sport News 24/7 By Dan McLaughlin  @McGloogly  @gridirongents  @TLE_Sport I wasn't going to do this.  I really wasn't.  But I went and opened my big mouth on the Gridiron Gentlemen Podcast about what I believe happened.  Well I say "what I believe happened", but in actual fact I think made a bad job of putting my point across, so here I am trying to put my point across.  It’s actually a good chance to look at one of the biggest...

By Kuae Mattox A new survey has revealed Americans are taking a new approach to New Year's resolutions and focusing on 'inner health' instead. Resolutions about diet and losing weight are still in good shape in the US, but this year almost half of people in the US said  the older they become the less they are concerned they are with how they look. Rather, they have become more focussed with their strength inside. More than 60 per cent want to be...

By Kuae Mattox Millions of American men have become fashion victims at the hands of their style-conscious wives or girlfriends, according to a new survey. Two-thirds of US women say their partners' choice of clothing "just isn't right" - and nearly half secretly purge their wardrobes of some of the grosser garb. A survey of 1,000 Americans across the country by Bombfell, the men’s online personal styling service, revealed that a staggering 98 per cent of women felt it was OK to...

Sport News 24/7 By Alex Dinsdale  @dinsadelic  @TLE_Sport The managerial instability around Vicarage Road hit the headlines some months ago, with the ridiculous statistic of four head coaches in thirty-seven days making a mockery of Watford’s promising start to the season.  Having lost only twice, Watford were on course for the promotion they had only just missed out on in Gianfranco Zola’s first season. The appointment of ex-Barcelona player and Brighton boss, Oscar Garcia, was met with great optimism but...

The annual economic outlook for 2015 has been released by Invesco, revealing that faster growth of the quantity of money is desperately needed to avoid deflation. Despite a more positive economic outlook in 2014 we’re still hearing warning signs about the state of the global economy from all directions. Figures from Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union, have shown that the Eurozone experienced deflation of 0.2 per cent in December compared to the same month last year and...

A new study has revealed electricians are Britain’s most trustworthy tradespeople, with a survey of 2,000 Brits finding sparky's are trusted over all other tradespeople. The research examined modern perceptions of today’s tradespeople to see who we believe to be the most trustworthy, with window cleaners and plumbers also deemed to be honourable folk. But scaffolders, glaziers, and tilers still have a lot to do – featuring bottom of the list of trusted tradesmen. The research, which was commissioned by...

The Happenstance is the sixth restaurant venture from the Drake & Morgan group since opening The Refinery in 2008, and the welcome is pretty impressive, with floor-to-ceiling window frames views of St Pauls. But could the venue live up to its glorious neighbour? Well, just about. When we visited it was a Wednesday evening but it was already pretty busy. The bar area seemed pretty popular with after work drinkers. My guest and I were taken into the large restaurant...
