Brits start to reform their ways
It seems that while more people are recognising the importance of saving for the future, a significant number are struggling to stop spending. Research conducted by Bradford and Bingley suggests that once Brits get hooked on shopping they find it hard to give up, despite the fact that many want to turn over a new leaf and act more frugally.
More Brits considering equity release as they approach retirement
A new study by Prudential has found that a significant number of those approaching retirement age are considering using their homes as part of their pensions. According to Prudential, 17 per cent of people in the UK over the age of 45 say they plan to use some or all of the equity on their properties to boost their incomes after they have given up work. The figures clearly show the extent to which Britons are under prepared for retirement as they demonstrate that many have no savings or pension schemes to fall back on when they leave full time employment.

More to Auld Reekie than rugby
On the 8th of March, the city of Edinburgh is likely to see an influx of tourists to see the England v Scotland rugby union match as part the 2008 Six Nations Championship.

Finding Love in London: The Dating Game
Paradoxically, despite being a city of over seven million people, it’s often said that finding love in London is not easy. Although Londoners are likely to come into contact with hundreds of different people everyday whilst they battle through crowed tube stations and busy streets, the hours eaten up by the daily grind of travelling to and from work mean that time for dating is limited.
Combining comfort and fashion: cuff strap watches could be the solution
For many men, there are few items more indispensable than a comfortable watch.

Tanning Beds Vs. Natural Sun Tanning: Which is Safer?
When it comes to getting a sun tan, you can choose from between getting a natural sun tan by spending time outdoors or you can get a tan by visiting a tanning bed. Both methods can provide you with the same quality of tan, though a tanning bed is convenient because you can tan throughout the year. Nonetheless, is a tanning bed the safest option when it comes to tanning, or is there no real difference in safety when comparing tanning beds to natural sun tanning?
Tanning Beds Vs. Natural Sun Tanning
If you are not interested in using a tanning lotion in order to give yourself a sunless tan, you are left with two basic options: getting a tan at a tanning bed or getting a natural sun tan. The question is, however, which one of these methods will give you better tanning results?
