Five Ways To Make Your Daily Commute More Productive

Posted: Mon, 10/24/2022 - 6:54am

The daily commute is never a pleasurable experience. It’s one that we have to do rather than one we want to do. Each day it’s the same old. Bustle for a space on the platform, clamber into the carriage, and either be lucky enough to get a seat, or hold on for dear life.

If you have longer daily commutes, they can often be tedious too. An hour or longer with nothing to do, just look out of the window or take a little nap. However, it doesn’t need to be that way. In fact, far from it.

The daily commute provides you with the perfect opportunity to spend some time being...

The UK is in the midst of an unprecedented economic crisis, built from the after-effects of numerous once-in-a-generation events. The UK’s withdrawal from the EU, coupled with the economic drought caused by the coronavirus pandemic, has left the nation in a weak financial state – one which has been worsened by market movements in recent months. These market movements have stoked fear regarding the state of our state pension – and the safety of the triple lock.

What is the Triple Lock?

The ‘triple lock’ describes a vital mechanism designed to protect the state pension...

Workplace rights have been hard-fought for generations upon generations. Without direct and persistent action from worker advocates and unions, many of the provisions we take for granted today would not be instituted; the five-day working week, the minimum wage, and work-mandated breaks are just some of the landmark rights and policies brought about by industrial action.

Today, unions are once again at the centre of debate as a cost-of-living crisis continues to wrack households across the country. RMT, the rail and maritime union, led the charge with their dispute over pay for...

Can dogs and cats live happily ever after?

Authored by Liv Butler
Posted: Wed, 10/19/2022 - 9:31pm

It's almost like a cartoon sketch. We've been used to the stereotype for years; dogs and cats just don't get on.

Of course, as umpteen owners around the land will testify, it doesn't have to be like this. Countless dogs and cats reside together, without any problems.

It would be fair to say that this has become more normal over time as well, and society almost encourages it. Whether it’s through veterinarians that provide packages covering both dogs and cats together, or even concepts like multi-pet insurance from Petgevity , it could almost be classed as the “new normal...
