About 8 years ago I wrote a blog post entitled https://stephenliddell.co.uk/2015/06/13/yours-sincerely-the-story-of-valedictions/ Even though it was partly hinted at all those years ago, a new study into workplace emails suggests that starting with ‘Dear’ will also soon become thing of the past. Phrases such as ‘Yours sincerely’ will die out in the next ten years as… Continue reading RIP Yours Sincerely

Coronavirus Diary 42 – Necessity is the mother of invention
I started Ye Olde England Tours in 2013. As far as I know, I was the first person in Britain to do what I do. In fact I was so pioneering that I was thrown off Viator/Trip Advisor as back then such activities were very tightly controlled on that website and you have very certifications… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 42 – Necessity is the mother of invention
Waking up early for success
I don’t know about you but I have always been an early bird. Even when I was little, I was up by 6am and today if I make it to 6am then it is a great lay-in. For some reason I just wake up even if I am really tired. I’ve never been woken up by… Continue reading Waking up early for success
Helping people with loans and not donations
I don’t know about you but I like to help as many people as I can. If possible then I do practical things to help like carry suitcases up the stairs on the London Underground or assisting the elderly or people with disabilities on and off buses. I do that as many people don’t… Continue reading Helping people with loans and not donations

15 bad points about working for yourself
Having written earlier in the week on 20 great reasons you should be your own boss, it is only fair that I offer up some of the less pleasant experiences of working for yourself too. It’s not all a bed of roses. In fact, in some ways, life can be much tougher than working for… Continue reading 15 bad points about working for yourself
20 Great Reasons To Work For Yourself
Three years ago this month, I took the big step of deciding I was going to create my own business. My slight lack of blogging in recent weeks might give some indication of just how successful this has been. I really want to encourage everyone to work for themselves if at all possible. It is… Continue reading 20 Great Reasons To Work For Yourself
My latest news!
I hope this post find everyone well. We’re already in mid-April and so far this year I haven’t posted any updates on what I’m doing and my various projects which superficially might give the impression that I’m rather busy. Actually I am rather busy with my blog, writing and my tours. I don’t know about… Continue reading My latest news!
Is WordPress Ripping You Off?
That time of year has come when it is time to renew my WordPress domain mapping fees so that I can keep running my blogs on their .co.uk domains rather than the standard wordpress.com domain. No big deal I thought after receiving their helpful reminder email. It’s just $13 per domain and one of them… Continue reading Is WordPress Ripping You Off?
Unemployment – Great hours but the pay sucks
Regular readers, fans and groupies may have noticed over the last few months how dissatisfied I had become with my day job. It wasn’t just because I hated it though that was true. It was due to a whole host of reasons that combined together to make it a mission impossible. The more eagle-eyed of… Continue reading Unemployment – Great hours but the pay sucks
