Re: Bitty Pensions

I would look at consolidating your individual schemes into a single SIPP. Go with whoever you think will be the cheapest given the total size of your pot.

If earth was doomed then we would need to head off-world to an existing body like the moon, mars or a decent sized asteroid. There's no point in launching stuff into space, wh...

Re: Suggestions for good quality walking boots

I've got a pair of Berghaus Hillwalker II GTX's. Super comfy - which is how I like my boots. I went a size up and fitted a set of Sorbothane insoles for extra padding. Current £95.00 at Go Outdoors.

Re: Crypto robbery

makes me wonder more is just how the robbers are going to use it
I'm no expert but I suspect they could launder it through some of the less traceable cryptocurrencies like monero or dash. All these online wallets are vulnerable to cyber theft. If you want to be secure - keep it offline!
