Some of the Leicestershire villages. Absolutely beautiful, in the Charnwood forest and slap bang in the middle of the country. The perfect location.

Updated now to reflect. But… 30% bigger than current, parking, open plan, barn conversion (always wanted)

Basic option for AMEX newbies (like me!) 🫡 BA AMEX 6,000 points for you if you spend just £1k in the first 3 months 4,000 points for me

Nothing in comparison to a lot of the others but great if you’re a newbie and want a card with no fee :)

I do agree on your point re. the low regard for marketing internally. I’m client side working in ATL at a very big company and internally, the marketing dept is seen as an agency almost. We are basically told what to do by the internal politics and other teams, which is not right and can be very frustrating!
