Do you remember the white heat of technology that bought us the musical card? No longer was it enough to simply write a personal message. Instead you had to have your senses assaulted by a musical watch alarm embedded in the card that sounded like a mosquito being disemboweled. Worse still, in some cases the [...]

This festive year there was a noticeable change to the language used on cards, no longer are we allowed to refer to cards given in December as ‘Christmas cards’ as this is now perceived to be politically incorrect and insulting.

It is that time of year again when my social calendar just gets ridiculously booked up in the run up to Christmas! Now I want to make it clear, I am not complaining and I really enjoy having lots of fun social events to go to and catching up with friends and relatives.
It gives me [...]
Looking through my wallet the other day I realised how many ‘loyalty’ cards I had racked up over time.
