Keys.
From living in temporary homeless accommodation, after my late Mum had her dream home repossessed when I was a kid, to flat owner.

War of the worries.
I have a feeling it WON'T catch on, but it's how I'm describing today's interest rates decision.

From coal and cotton to bars and bakeries!
I'm off to Market Drayton tomorrow to find out for BBC Breakfast how our canals are once again helping to keep our economy afloat.
