BRFR Cake Stop 'breaking news' miscellany

Strange. I never asked you if you watched it, but I shall now be riveted by further information on your viewing choices.

I didn't realise that it was a private conversation. Carry on.

Not private at all, but a rather strange, irrelevant interjection.

We could start a thread on ‘Shows I don’t watch’ if it helps.

It did but the series has finished. Nessa was a Welsh version of the Loch Ness monster.

Oh, you mean a rotund lady much like Prescott himself, and that was the joke I missed?

I’ve not watched much myself (need to keep that quiet or I’ll be deported) but I think Prescott is one of several ‘celebs’ she has stories of having had a liaison with. They’re a bit of a running joke

Is that Prescott father or son?

Father, he had a cameo in an episode too I think.

Prescott was Married to the same woman for 60 years.
But he admitted to having had an affair with his diary secretary, Tracey Temple, between 2002 and 2004. This two-year affair was said to have commenced after an office party and, in part, took place during meetings at Prescott's grace-and-favour flat in Whitehall.

That was the story I remembered.

This could have went in a few threads but I think it will eventually be a wide spread story.
Anyone getting 2008 vibes?

Financial analyst SwanDesk: “For the first time in history, BlackRock is halting the amount people can withdraw. This is a major red flag. Something big is coming. BlackRock’s $26B private credit fund is limiting how much investors can pull out, capping withdrawals at 5% even though investors asked for 9.3%. Blackstone processed a record 7.9% shares of withdrawal requests this week.”

Edit:- My managed pension fund divested my monthly payment a week earlier than usual. Hmmmm 🤔
