Energy Best Deal
 |
| It doesn't look complicated to me |
I think I've probably mentioned energy companies here more than once and having been involved via
CAB with the Energy Best Deal, I feel reasonably comfortable dealing with the transition from
one company to another (cheaper) one - well I'm struggling with Scottish Power and Ovo (seems the problem is Scottish).
As things stand though Ovo now have over £400 of our money and Scottish Power say that they need 10 more days to sort out their part of the problem(?) - Is this UK Energy market operating as it should ? (I think you know the answer I'd give).
Jonathan Coe Book 2
 |
| Another book to read |
I fairly recently mentioned I was reading a novel by Jonathan Coe (
The Rain Before it Falls) the book's about all sorts of things including I beleive how we replicate our own imperfections across the generations, the good news is I finished it and it was very good, so good that I've borrowed another - this one's called
Expo '58 and I'll report back on it.
ValueYou
Not so long ago I mentioned an initiative to reward those who volunteer, well just got my
ValueYou card and details of how to use it and claim a gift - great stuff hope the use promoted altruistic behaviour (if that's not counter intuitive).
Luxury
 |
| One perspective from the V&A |
Looking back over recent tweets
I've tweeted (I'm now reaching the dizzying 50 followers on Twitter I'm #tjbourne) I notice that quite a number of these tweets relate to 'Luxury' - with
V&A asking What is Luxury and
Patek Philipe exhibition giving a very clear picture of what it is in material terms.

Well to me it can be that Luxury as a way of life is not necessarily liberating but can become very limiting and our efforts to attain material luxury become excessively time consuming and sap our energy.
