From a marketing point of view, Pokemon Go has been a lesson in viral marketing. Nintendo has generated so much publicity, my cynical side says they have talked up some of the dangers of people crossing the road to maximise the campaign.

I must admit, security is now one of my biggest worries when thinking about the family holiday. I know it's wrong and people say you shouldn't let terrorists win, but I want a relaxing child friendly family holiday, not make a political point or put my family in any unnecessary danger.

I think holiday companies should be taking security and risk more seriously rather than defer to the FCO.

Oh dear, has Mr Khan replied yet?

I hate updates, everytime windows updates it breaks something 

A late welcome from me

It was a terrible shame, I do wonder what the outlook is for Debenhams. Will they be the next BHS I wonder?

It makes you think about company pension schemes. My friends husband has had two previous pension schemes go bust with little chance of recovering anything. 

I think this is a real area for concern and is surprising there isn't a more obvious solution. Friends and parents I talk to really stress about allowing their kids online. 

Maybe somewhere like Netmums may throw up some ideas?

I think your natural ambition declines as you get older, you learn to appreciate the more important things in life. Youngsters are immortal, can change the world and will all be multi millionaires by 25. 

At 40 we are more realistic, full of life experience and more than likely to be settled down with a family. Not saying you can't still be ambitious, and some people will be driven until the day they drop. But if you have a reasonable standard of living, then why not enjoy life instead of punishing yourself to do better?

Congratulations. Hope everything is going well and we hear from you soon.

Sorry Steve, an oxymoron is two words that contradict each other, not a word and its meaning.
