In today’s always-on environment, I’ve actually swapped from using HSBC and NatWest to using a cheap as chips Lloyds Travel Money Card. People often look at me when I bring out this tattered ‘Pay As You Go’ Visa Debit Card to pay for stuff. It’s always nice flashing good looking pieces of plastic, but when [...]

We’ve inched ahead of Oxford (number 5, joint with Imperial) and we’re just behind Yale (3) and Cambridge (2) with Harvard at the number 1 spot. Go UCL! UCL!
