Do You Know Who I Am?

I’m sitting here waiting for a woman to turn up from the bank I’ve been using for the last 15 years. She wants me to prove I am who I say I am.

I mean really…if I was going to pretend to be anyone, it wouldn’t be me.

Anyway, she rang yesterday because I want to open a new account for my self-administered pension. Despite the fact that I’ve been doing business with them for years, and they’re currently holding more of my money than it would take to solve the debt of a third world country, they’re still demanding to see my passport and driving licence before opening the new account.

Apparently it’s the law ~ money laundering regulations ~ or so they say. Every time you do anything new, they’re obliged to check you out all over again.

This is becoming something of a regular occurrence.

At the end of last week, I got a call from a solicitor who is handling the purchase of a property I’m partially financing for a third party. Here’s how the conversation went:

Solicitor: Can you tell me where the funds are from?

Me: From my bank account

Solicitor: But what’s the source of the funds?

Me: As I said, it will be coming out of my bank account. Do you want my bank details?

Solicitor: No, I need to determine the original source.

Me: Sorry, I don’t understand what you want.

Solicitor: Well where did the money come from? I need to establish a paper trail.

Me: What?

Solicitor: I need to establish that the funds are legitimate and not the proceeds of crime or drug sales.

Me: No, that’s my other account.

Solicitor: (Silence).

Me: Sigh…Just tell me what you need.

Solicitor: Sorry, it’s money laundering regulations.

And that’s how things are in Britain in 2020. You can’t even move, spend or invest your own money without the government forcing banks and solicitors (under threat of imprisonment) to investigate every last detail about you and the transaction.

If they’re in any doubt at all that you’re not who you say you are, or can’t (or won’t) account for exactly how you came by the money, then they’re legally obliged to shop you to the authorities. If they fail in this role of unpaid state snoop, they face swapping their comfortable office for a jail cell.

But it’s okay, because it’s for our own good ~ to fight crime, terrorism, drug dealing and the like ~ isn’t it?

Let me contrast what I’ve just told you with another ‘transaction’ I regularly make…

Twice a year, I receive a demand from the Inland Revenue for a depressingly large sum of money. I won’t tell you how much because I don’t want you feeling sorry for me, but it’s a lot. Now for some reason, they’ve never felt the need to check that I am who I say I am when I pay that bill. They never feel the need to establish a ‘paper trail’ to find out where the money has come from. They don’t seem to care. All they want is the money. They don’t even send me a receipt or an acknowledgement for goodness sake.

When I’m buying or investing for myself, the fight against crime is paramount. When I’m giving the money to them, they don’t give a stuff. Strange isn’t it? And there’s only one reason I can think of…

It’s because all these unpaid state snoopers aren’t in place to prevent money laundering – they’re there to prevent tax evasion…

And there’s not much danger of you doing that while you’re paying your bill.

Kind Regards

First Class Coblers

There are some very good reasons why I don’t read The Guardian – most of them linked to my blood pressure and stress levels. But recently, I came across an article that originated there, and was reprinted in another journal.

The writer was seriously putting forward the view that the Government should have the courage to increase the taxes on the rich because ~ wait for it ~ the ‘middle classes’ are being made to feel poor and inferior in comparison. That’s right, she wants the government to raise taxes on the rich so her mates won’t feel quite so jealous. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the politics of envy demonstrated so blatantly or clearly.

I really don’t know where to start with this, but I’m going to have to start somewhere, so here goes…

Let’s start with the ‘middle class’.

The writer, Jenni Russell, clearly considers herself to be middle class. How do I know? Because she calls herself Jenni rather than Jenny. That would be far too common. So I think we can assume she has a vested interest in all this.

It may be just me though, but I find the whole notion of describing yourself as ‘middle class’ abhorrent and outdated. To do so carries with it two unacceptable and unpleasant assumptions…

Firstly, that there is another class above you, to whom you are inferior for no other reason than an accident of birth. And secondly, that there is another class below you, to whom you are superior by virtue of the way you each earn your living.

To me, the idea that someone is of a higher or lower class by way of their parentage, schooling or occupation is outmoded and just plain wrong in the 21st century. If you MUST divide people by class in 2020, then do it in a relevant way…

1. The working class 

Anyone who earns their own money, or is part of a family financed by someone earning their own money, is working class. The short-term unemployed would be included here, and people who can’t work through no fault of their own. It doesn’t matter what they do for a job, where they went to school, who their parents are or whether they use the word napkin or serviette, settee or sofa. If you finance your life through employment or a business, you’re part of the working class.

2. The non-working class

These are people who don’t work, but are self-supporting. Retirees would fall into this category ~ along with anyone else, not working, but not living off the state.

3. The Underclass

Scumbags to you and me. People who choose not to work. People who choose to live off the taxes paid by the working class.

Jenni Russell clearly doesn’t agree with me though. She obviously makes a differentiation based on HOW people earn their own money. And she says that the middle class (civil servants, academics and managers according to her) have a legitimate expectation of a comfortable life as a result of their social position. This expectation is being undermined by the fact that the new rich have more money, and make them feel relatively poor. They’re trying to play catch up, she says, and it’s personally damaging.

The solution? Let’s take some money off ‘the rich’ so that the middle classes don’t feel relatively poor.

It’s the same old Marxist garbage that used to be put forward as an argument for making the ‘working class’ less dissatisfied with their lot. But it’s just been upgraded because ~ horror of horrors ~ even Guardian journalists are starting to feel poor.

The truth of course, is that the ‘middle classes’ are no more entitled to expect a comfortable life (and to feel economically superior) than anyone else who works for their money. The needs of society are constantly changing, and those changing needs are reflected in the money paid to, and accumulated by, different occupational groups within that society. Just because what are described as ‘middle class’ jobs guaranteed a comfortable lifestyle in the last century, doesn’t mean they should guarantee the same in this one.

And it definitely doesn’t mean that the old order should be supported and shored up by state-backed confiscation of the money of members of society more valued by the current market – just to redress some old-fashioned baseless balance.

As for me, I consider myself to be completely immune from being pigeonholed into any manufactured social grouping…

People have been telling me I’ve got no class for years.

Kind Regards

John’s Guide To Losing Weight

When I was growing up, there was only one product marketed as a ‘diet food’ as far as I can remember. That was Nimble bread. If you were sitting here with me now, and I was feeling particularly belligerent towards you, I could sing you the TV ad all the way through. Fast-forward about 30 years and there are hundreds (if not thousands) of diet related foods, potions, drinks and tablets on offer.

And guess what?

We’re all fatter than ever!

Just the other night, I watched a programme in which Jamie Oliver got a group of fatties together and…well, told them they were fat and it wasn’t good for them. Now you might think this was a pointless exercise – that he wasn’t telling them what they didn’t already know – but you’d be surprised. Or at least I was.

As the truth was revealed to them…”You’re a bloater and you’ll probably die early,” (they dressed it up a bit, but that was the gist)…you could see the shock on their faces – sometimes followed by tears. Of course, Jamie and his team of experts were on hand to put a reassuring arm around their shoulders and tell them that it wasn’t too late to change. But I suspect their real reaction was more akin to mine as I yelled at the TV set (a sure sign of madness):

“What the…don’t you have any bloody mirrors where you come from? You must have known you were a space hopper smuggler before you came on the programme!”

When I was at school, the fat kids could be counted on the fingers of one hand. They had a torrid time, and I’d imagine have carried the scars of PE lesson humiliation well into later life. At least, these days, the fatties aren’t so isolated ~ because they’ve got plenty of company.

It doesn’t take a genius to work out that something doesn’t quite add up here. And a great deal of time money and effort has been spent trying to find out what.

Because nobody is ever to blame for anything any more, a lot has been made of the role of a so-called ‘fat gene’. The fat gene is great news for your average bloater because he can carry on eating, secure in the knowledge that his resemblance to Michelin Man’s portlier brother is beyond his control.

Sadly for Mr Blimp though, this is something of a red herring. If there is such a thing as a fat gene, it existed when Nimble was flavour of the month and we were all relatively slim. That’s the thing about genes…they’re passed from generation to generation. I’m no scientist, but I know that much.

If there’s a fat gene now, there had to be a fat gene then. And we weren’t fat!

The obvious conclusion is that we’re getting fatter because, of something we’re doing, not because of a gene. In other words…steel yourself, you might not be able to comprehend what I’m saying at first…

The obvious conclusion is that we’re getting fatter because, of something we’re doing, not because of a gene. In other words…steel yourself, you might not be able to comprehend what I’m saying at first…

We have to take responsibility for our own blubbery bodies.

Well, we do up to a point. You see the combination of confusing (and conflicting) advice from experts, together with the burgeoning output from a multi-billion pound processed food industry has rendered most of us unsure about what we should be eating, and uncertain of the nutritional value of what we’re being sold.

With that in mind, here are three very simple rules I came across this week that I reckon would do an enormous amount to solve the problem if we all lived by them:

1.  Eat food, but stop before you’re full.

2.  Don’t eat anything your great grandmother wouldn’t recognise as food.

3.  Avoid products made from ingredients you can’t pronounce.

I can’t resist adding one more piece of advice, from Billy Connolly
of all people…

4. Never eat anything that comes in a bucket!

I reckon if we all made a stab at following those basic rules, the obesity epidemic would be all but over. And the diet gurus would be forced to drag their scrawny asses (as you see I’m completely non-discriminatory in my insults) down to the job centre.

Dear streetwise Customer,

  If you were to design a money-making strategy from scratch to take advantage of the circumstances we’re currently experiencing, here is exactly what you’d come up with – a business where…

. You can work exclusively from home and never have to leave the house  

.  As long as you have a computer with internet access, you’re in business  

.  The method behind it doesn’t just cope with turmoil and uncertainty… it positively thrives on it.  

.  You can get started and be making money in days rather than weeks or months.  

.  Start-up costs are virtually zero. 

  How do I know this is perfect for now?

  Because the guy who developed it is something of a recluse. He started ‘self-isolating’ years ago before it became a thing, and has run this business from the top of a French mountain, from a remote Swedish farm and from the wilds of northern Scotland…

  He didn’t have to self-isolate…he just chose to!

  If you find yourself having to live and work a little more remotely in the coming weeks and months…or even if you just like the idea of doing that…then this is perfect for you.  

  Take a look now and respond today. In every crisis, there are opportunities. Even if you’ve looked at doing something like this before and decided against, think again. Now is the time.

A Little Known Use For A Dwarf

Whilst reading yesterday’s Sun over lunch (the perfect accompaniment to a salad sandwich) I had to make a mental check that it wasn’t April 1st.

According to a full-page article on page 21, criminals have come up with a new, ingenious way to rob holidaymakers. Ever considered committing a heist on a Wallace Arnold coach? Thought not, but if you did, what you need to do first is recruit an accomplice who’s a dwarf!

I sense some puzzlement. Allow me to explain…

First you book yourself on to a coach trip. Next, you put your dwarf in a suitcase, and get it loaded into the cargo hold of the coach. As you see, the reason for your accomplice’s diminutive stature is becoming all too apparent.

Once the journey is underway, your dwarf unzips himself from the suitcase, rifles through everyone’s luggage, nicks their valuables and gets back into your case before the end of the journey.

At the other end, you pick up your case (kindly unloaded for you by the driver) and make off with the booty and dwarf. Release your dwarf and tip him upside down by his ankles to empty the loot from his pockets.

Simple.

I’m often reluctantly impressed by the enterprise and ingenuity displayed by criminals in their quest to make an ill-gotten gain. But I’m a little depressed by it too – partly because there are always victims to any crime, and partly because the ‘rewards’ are so small compared to the risk. The enterprise and ingenuity are both misdirected and wasted.

There are plenty of perfectly legal and ethical ways to make money that don’t infringe any one else’s rights, and don’t run the risk of a spell of involuntary confinement.

If the criminals who come up with these plans were to direct their undoubted skills along legal lines, I’m convinced they’d make a fortune, and never again wake in a cold sweat over an encounter in the showers with an 18-stone bodybuilder called Clyde. But maybe that’s not the point. Maybe the thrill is the thing, not the reward.

Well I’ll take the reward every time – and get the thrill somewhere else.

Watching the news last night, I see that police raided 17 addresses in Slough yesterday, and found small children as young as two, smuggled in from Eastern Europe to be trained up as criminals. Suddenly it all becomes clear ~ there just aren’t enough dwarves to go around!

Kind Regards

Why You Shouldn’t Get A TaToo…

When I was in the Birmingham branch of Selfridges recently, I was amazed to find that they had a tattoo parlour in the store.

Now when I was growing up, nobody ‘respectable’ ever had tattoos. You either had them as a result of teenage rebellion, through being a Hell’s Angel, or because you’d got very drunk one night and woken up the next morning with some girl’s name you’d never heard of emblazoned on your buttocks.

But times have changed. In 2020, people of all ages and backgrounds (and both sexes) have tattoos. It’s become fashionable, and the styles and positions of tattoos are subject to fashion too. Where once you might have had an anchor on your forearm, now you’re more likely to have some obscure oriental symbol across your lower back, or a Maori design across your shoulder.

And I think this trend is stark staring crazy.

Why?

Well let me put it to you this way…

Would you go into a hairdresser’s and choose a hairstyle that you were going to keep for the rest of your life. Imagine if Kevin Keegan had done that in 1978! Doesn’t bear thinking about. Would you go into a clothes shop and pick a pair of trousers you were going to be sewn into and never able to change? Of course you wouldn’t, (I might, but you wouldn’t) because fashions change, and you want to be able to keep up with modern trends.

In 20 or 30 years time, young kids will be laughing at the coloured-in older generation, and will be able to age them ~ not by their wrinkles, but by the design of their tattoos. What seems cool, hip and trendy now will seem tired, dated and old hat by the new generation. And the tattooed masses will be stuck with it ~ locked in an epidermal time warp. Just like their anchor-wearing predecessors.

The truth is that fashion is for the frivolous, disposable and temporary things in life. Tattoos are none of these things…

And neither is property.

Near to where I live, there’s a fantastic looking ultra-modern house for sale. It’s all vast open spaces, flat roofs, white walls and sharp edges. It’s priced at £1.5 million, and it looks great. Would I buy it? Not a chance, because today’s cutting edge and fashionable, is tomorrow’s yesterday’s news. And when you’re making a significant life investment, you don’t toy with the vagaries of fashion.

And it’s the same story with moredown-to-earth property investments…

You don’t have to go too far back in time ~ perhaps 12 years ~ to find yourself in a period where nobody wanted to buy a flat in a provincial city for any amount of money. But that’s before fashions changed, and city living became trendy. Our cities became awash with modern high-rise developments to cater for this new trend.

Well guess what…that’s what it is ~ a trend. And that trend will change again, leaving all but the very best of those inner city developments to fall into decline as they revert to what similar properties were before the trend shift ~ squalid ghettos for the underclass.

Meanwhile bread and butter family housing ~ traditional three bed semis, small detached houses and the like in the suburbs ~ will continue to rise steadily in value. They can’t and won’t fall out of fashion because they were never in fashion.

They provide simple, functional and attractive housing solutions for ordinary families. They may not set the pulse racing, but they do keep the family comfortable, dry, safe and warm. And that’s what everyone needed in the past, what they need now, and what they will continue to need into the future.

There’s an underlying long-term basic need that transcends fashion or trend. When you’re looking at where to invest your money, this is precisely what you should be looking for. Something with longevity and intrinsic underlying value, not something, which has had its value temporarily boosted by riding a trend.

When the property market turns tough, I invest more, not less. But I don’t have any tattoos, and I don’t have any trendy inner city apartments either. I’ve never been convinced that either are a good long-term proposition.

I may be too late on both the tattoos and the property for you. But if not, now could be a good time to give some thought to whether you agree with me.

Postscript

A free tip for a big business opportunity of the future ~ tattoo removal. It’s going to grow and grow.

Kind Regards
