Monzo – the bank that Steve and Steve have owned for what seems like ages – has been making noises about going public. But will it list in London, or in the US?  A lot of UK companies have been listing in the States recently, but Steve D is hoping for a London IPO. Is this one for the AIM or the main market? J.D. Wetherspoon's has released its latest trading update and Steve W thinks it's… fine. Like-for-like sales growth is decent enough, but only really in line with the industry.  The company has no realistic price competition from its rivals, but supermarkets are the big challenge. So how will the firm cope with higher tax and NI contributions? From the AIM, Steve D's investment in Ashtead Technology is starting to pay off. But nobody on our show is quite sure why.  Revenues are set to come in marginally ahead of expectations, with EBITA (no D) up. Surely that's not enough to set the stock off, though… is it? We haven't talked about FTSE 250 dividend aristocrat Spectris on the show before – but that might have been a mistake. The stock has been bouncing back off its lows recently.  It's in the precision measurement space and Steve D knows it from work. But Steve W has concerns over the impact of weak demand from China and its implications for profits. Prologis is still the biggest publicly-listed real estate investment trust (REIT) – we checked. It's heavily exposed to some promising trends that are emerging, but it's cheap right now. With a lower cost of capital than its rivals, the firm is well-positioned to make it through a period of normalising demand. So could it be one for either Steve to buy right now? Steve W has been looking at the latest results from Associated British Foods. It's underwhelming across the board, but especially when it comes to Primark.  Despite this, the stock looks cheap right now. And it might be that the retailer's results – disappointing as they are – could justify the entire market cap by itself… We're always interested in Netflix on this show. And Steve D has been looking at a very impressive performance from the world's leading streaming platform.  Revenue growth has been picking up and margins are widening, greeting great unit economics. And with its competitive position getting stronger, is it too late to buy the stock? Only on this week's PlayingFTSE Podcast! ► Support the show: Appreciate the show and want to offer your support?

It's that time of year again, where we look at our predictions from 2024 and make some new ones for 2025. Who's been catching the eye of Steve and Steve – for the right (or wrong) reasons? Steve D set out to do a bit less selling from his portfolio in 2024 and to try and max out his ISA. One's in the bag and one is on track, but what's he planning for 2025? Steve W cruised home in his ambition to sort out his emergency fund. For 2025, he's turning back to an investing-themed resolution that could be interesting for the show. In 2024, Steve D was looking for Disney to outperform. It didn't quite manage this – but with streaming turning profitable a quarter early, could it still be a good stock to buy? Steve W elected to bet on J.D. Wetherspoon and against International Consolidated Airlines Group. While the pubs did well, the stock didn't – and the airline was a top FTSE 100 performer. As usual, Steve D predicted a weak year for the Tesla share price. And it nearly worked – until the US election suddenly triggered a burst of optimism, despite a decline in annual car sales. For a US prediction, Steve W thought Goldman Sachs would do well – which was right. Unfortunately, he also doubted Nvidia, which has been the wrongest prediction of them all. Steve D also thought equities would outperform, which they did handsomely. A 23% return from the S&P 500 was about double the average historic return.  Unfortunately for Steve W, his prediction about the UK cutting interest rates was too specific. Inflation got below 3% – but not below 2% – making his prediction incorrect for 2024. After the election in the UK and the US, investors seem to be much more optimistic about the S&P 500 than the FTSE 100. But Steve D thinks this could be a mistake going into 2025.  Steve W has an eye on Diploma to outperform in 2025. The stock has lost some momentum recently, but can it get back to high growth and get things moving again?  REITs have been one of the weaker sectors in a generally strong year for S&P 500 stocks in 2024. Steve D is betting on this changing in 2025, though, as the index as a whole falters. Palantir has been signing up US businesses all over the place and the stock has responded accordingly. Steve W, however, thinks it's just getting started with a $170bn market cap. In the UK, Wise has been going from strength to strength. And with its market cap just starting to creep above where it was at its IPO Steve D thinks it could be an acquisition target.  Steve W is going out on a limb with his acquisition prediction. McBride is a UK company that mostly does white-label cleaning products with a couple of brands – could anyone want it?

The show has a different feel this week. We're finally giving the people what they want – a Trading212 pie with 30 of our favourite UK stocks.  Steve W has gone back to underperforming this week after beating the major indices for two weeks running. Fortunately, though, Steve D has been pushing things forward for the team by beating everything by an absolute mile.  The quick roundup this week features a bunch of companies with blue logis. Steve W has been looking at Intel and Five Below – two stocks enjoying sharply contrasting fortunes. Steve D's attention this week has been caught by Salesforce, which is starting to gain some AI credibility and Okta, which is performing well. But should investors buy either stock? This week's show is all about the Britbox – our top 30 UK stocks to go into a Trading212 pie. We've also got our top overall pick and two more of our individual favourites. AB Dynamics, Ashtead Technology, and Judges Scientific are Steve D's picks from the AIM. Two that we haven't seen before on the show – but could there be some real potential here? Steve W also has an unfamiliar name to the show – FTSE 250 components company Senior. Also on his list are filtration firm Porvair and deep value turnaround Dowlais. Steve D's UK fintechs include Wise, Mony Group, and XPS Pensions. The last of these might not be familiar to viewers of the show, but could the upcoming pensions change be a big catalyst? Among Steve W's favourite consumer-facing businesses are J.D. Wetherspoon, Games Workshop, and A.G. Barr. An idiosyncratic choice here – can the UK's cheapest pub chain really raise prices? Regular viewers might not be surprised to hear that Bloomsbury, Greggs, and Rightmove make Steve D's list of stocks for the Britbox. But should he be more excited about reading Sarah J. Mass for the first time?.  Steve W's three are acquisitive growth stocks. Bunzl (distributor of consumables), DCC (a new one for the show) and Diploma (industrial components) make his list for the pie. Spirax Group has had a rough year. But it's in Steve D's list for the Britbox along with FTSE 250 industrial Renishaw and Vistry – a FTSE 100 housebuilder Steve W's been talking about. Rentokil, Experian, and Admiral are Steve W's choices. The running theme is supposed to be things with strong moats and long-term growth prospects, but do these fit the bill? FTSE 100 miner Glencore leads out Steve D's final set of three for the Britbox. It's joined by Barclays – the UK's leading investment bank – and NatWest, which has done very well this year. Steve W also has a miner and unsurprisingly it's Anglo American. A long-term copper thesis is behind this one and the remaining places in Steve's side are filled by Diageo and Croda International – obviously.  That only leaves to picks and the supporting cast still to be decided.  Only on this week's PlayingFTSE Podcast! ► Support the show: Appreciate the show and want to offer your support?

What makes a railway pub different? Wetherspoon's The Lion & The Unicorn pub in London Waterloo is the company's biggest so far. I've visited on the pub's opening morning and talked to Barry Brewster of JD Wetherspoon. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The FTSE 100 ticked up to yet another record of 8,350 as the market opened. Mid-caps were in the spotlight on Wednesday as Wetherspoon's third-quarter update that profit should sit at the top end of expectations saw shares jump early on. Boohoo faced a blow in the meantime after the online retailer reported wider losses and piling up debt for its financial year. Direct Line also fell following its first-quarter report, which showed higher total written and motor premiums but fewer in-force policies. Among FTSE 100 companies, Informa topped the early risers after hiking its share buyback program on expectations results would hit the top-end of guidance. And finally, technical instruments maker Renishaw dipped as revenue guidance was lowered following a fall in earnings over the first nine months of the year. #ProactiveInvestors #marketreport #ftse #ftse100 #footsie #wetherspoons #boohoo #directline #informa #renishaw #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

It's all stocks this week, as Steve and Steve look at the news from the UK and the US. Don't worry about Apple or inflation, there's plenty else to talk about… The big story from this week is Reddit's IPO. The stock jumped out to a good start after it first appeared on the public markets, but Steve and Steve are looking under the hood. Is the best angle for investors an advertising platform, or a company with some valuable AI data? And is the underlying business ever going to make any money after nearly two decades without a profit? Unilever has announced plans to spin its ice cream division off. The unit has five of the top 10 brands by sales, so the move might be a little surprising. Steve W's been taking a closer look, though. And the real question on his mind isn't whether ditching Ben & Jerry's is a good idea, but what the company plans to do with the cash… The market does not like Nike's earnings report very much. Slowing sales in China are really weighing on the share price and catching the attention of both Steves. Could this be an opportunity in a company that has a strong track record and almost never trades at a discount? Or is that rainbow England flag just too much to bear? Shares in J.D. Wetherspoon fell 8% after the company's most recent trading update. And with earnings per share down around 50%, that seems to make sense.  Steve W thinks there's more to the company than this, though. But is a free cash outflow over the last six months more of a problem? The Lululemon share price has been falling sharply after a disappointing earnings report. Neither of the Steves are big fans of the brand, but the stock might be another question. How should we think about the value of this type of brand? And is this a dip that's worth buying for either Steve? Only on this week's PlayingFTSE Podcast! ► Support the show: Appreciate the show and want to offer your support?

Good morning from London where some positive comments from the Bank of England on UK financial sector resilience has helped the FTSE 100 up to week-highs so far. According to the central bank, Britain's eight largest banks are resilient would be able to cope if things took a turn for the worse. Shares in the likes of Lloyds, HSBC and Standard Chartered were lifted as a result of the news. Elsewhere, Wetherspoon's shares are up as the pub chain reiterated full-year guidance and reported sales above its 2022 and pre-pandemic fourth-quarter figures. Royal Mail can finally put a damaging long-running pay dispute behind it, after workers overwhelmingly backed a new offer from the company.

Now a 900 strong pub chain, with an annual turnover of £1.6 billion, J.D. Wetherspoon is a big name on the British high street. But when entrepreneur Tim Martin flung open the doors of the first branch in London's Muswell Hill on 9th December, 1979, it was known as ‘Tim's Free House' - and closed down on its opening night.He built up the business by taking over leases at old buildings such as churches and cinemas, and converting them into pubs - meaning they weren't tied to any particular brewery, guaranteeing lower prices for customers. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly interrogate Martin's ‘man of the people' image, reveal why Wetherspoon's famous carpets are so expensive; and ask if the ‘paltry chip count' meme explains why they came off social media…Further Reading:• How Wetherspoon's Conquered Britain (Esquire, 2018): https://www.esquire.com/uk/food-drink/a19129642/how-wetherspoons-conquered-britain/• ‘Did Wetherspoons See The Pandemic Coming?'

Hello and welcome to the Alcohol Alert, brought to you by The Institute of Alcohol Studies. In this edition:A round-up of how alcohol drinkers, producers and retailers have fared as the prospect of a second coronavirus wave loomsThink tank finds NoLo drinks have limited impact 🎵 Podcast feature 🎵SHAAP and IAS launch the Men and Alcohol reportNumbers of alcohol-related admissions to English hospitals continue to risePoll shows almost half of Scots surveyed now back minimum pricing for alcoholBacklash over NICE plans to record pregnant womens’ consumptionWe announce the winners of our Small Grants SchemeWe hope you enjoy our roundup of stories below: please feel free to share. Thank you.Drinking in the second wave of a pandemicCoping with COVID-19: Alcohol offers little comfort to solitary drinkers One of the enduring stories of 2020 has been the question of how some people use alcohol to cope with new ways of living in the time of COVID-19. One of the many research attempts to find this out, the Global Drug Survey (GDS), found that almost half (48%) of Brits have so far upped their alcohol intake during the pandemic, ‘due to loneliness, depression and anxiety’ (Guardian, 09 Sep). Furthermore, 30% of drinkers said increased alcohol consumption had worsened their mental health and 47% disclosed that their physical health had deteriorated.Researchers found that increased use of both alcohol and cannabis due to anxiety, loneliness or depression was significantly higher among people with a pre-existing mental health or neurodevelopmental condition. That group of respondents were at least twice as likely to report worse mental health (38%) due to drinking more alcohol than those without such conditions (19%).The study also highlighted the limitations of a substance perceived as having some social purpose: when the venue for consuming alcohol is removed from people’s lives, drinking for some doesn’t simply stop, but instead manifests in other potentially unhealthy ways. The number of people drinking alone at home while on audio or video calls, such as Zoom meetings, or during ‘watch parties’, where friends view and discuss films and TV programmes together via group chat, increased from 17% to 38%.Comparing alcohol with cannabis, professor Adam Winstock, GDS chief executive, observed: ‘People’s drug use is hugely dependent upon being able to socialise and when that ability goes away, people turn to drugs that they’re already familiar with – cannabis and alcohol. But the impact of increases of those two drugs is quite distinct, and those drinking more alcohol come off worse.’Closing time for COVID? Pubs on curfewSome spending data indicated the desire on the part of some to resume pre-pandemic habits, but the results were mixed, ‘with like-for-like [August] sales down 3·6%’ against the same month last year (This is Money, 28 Sep).Signs of economic recovery were likely the focus of discussions between Hospitality Ulster and Stormont ministers about the prospect of reopening drink-only pubs (BBC News Northern Ireland, 07 Sep).But with an uptick in the number of coronavirus cases in September, attention turned to whether and how pubs – the symbol of a nation trying to return to some kind of normal – were keeping customers safe (BBC News Business, 13 Sep)?In England, hospitality businesses (including pubs) became legally mandated to take customers’ contact details so they can be traced if a potential outbreak is linked to the venue. These rules were in addition to the new ‘Rule of Six’, which limits the number of people allowed to meet each other.Some pubs experienced small outbreaks within their own workforce: the JD Wetherspoon chain reported 60 Wetherspoon staff across 50 branches had tested positive for COVID-19 (Mirror, 14 Sep).Meanwhile, rumours spread of the possibility of implementing curfews on pub opening hours if the number of new coronavirus cases did not fall over the next few weeks (Daily Star, 14 Sep). A survey of more than 4,000 UK adults found that 69% would be favour of a 9PM curfew (YouGov, 15 Sep).And so, the government made plans to shut the pubs… at 10PM (BBC News, 22 Sep). While BBC health correspondent Nick Triggle wondered whether the move would be of marginal benefit in staving off the threat of the virus, chair of the Public Accounts Committee Meg Hillier asked the prime minister how the government was able to square their proposal with extending alcohol licensing provisions for pubs to acquire pavement licences for eating and drinking on the public highway?For all the government’s desire to strike a balance, representatives of the hospitality industry still claim that a curfew will neither help curb the virus nor the commercial viability of their businesses, which are ‘still on life support’. Talking to trade outlet Morning Advertiser (22 Sep), Fuller’s chief executive Simon Emeny called pubs ‘the home of responsible socialising’ and said his company had worked hard to implement safety measures across its pubs, to be rewarded with unnecessary restrictions, while Peter Borg-Neal, chief executive at multiple operator Oakman Inns, said he saw little public health benefit but ‘lots of economic damage’ instead.Can addiction treatment services survive a second wave?Whatever happens in the coming weeks, it is clear that our addiction services can ill afford to combat the swelling number of high risk drinkers seeking treatment alongside a second wave of COVID-19 cases. Royal College of Psychiatrists analysis of Public Health England’s latest data on the indirect effects of COVID-19 found that over 8·4 million people are now drinking at higher risk, up from just 4·8 million in February. But the multi-million-pound cuts made to addiction services since 2013/14 mean they could miss out on life-saving treatment (14 Sep).Professor Julia Sinclair, chair of the college’s addictions faculty, said: ‘COVID-19 has shown just how stretched, under-resourced and ill-equipped addiction services are to treat the growing numbers of vulnerable people living with this complex illness.Drug-related deaths and alcohol-related hospital admissions were already at all-time highs before COVID-19. I fear that unless the government acts quickly we will see these numbers rise exponentially.’Think tank: NoLo drinks have limited impact🎵 Podcast feature 🎵A report on no and low alcohol beverages (‘NoLo’) from the Social Market Foundation finds limited evidence for their impact on health outcomes (08 Sep). Sponsored by Alcohol Change UK (ACUK), the publication finds that whilst NoLo products may help individuals reduce their consumption, they are unlikely to produce the aggregate level reductions in alcohol-related harms public health experts would desire.The key findings were:The market for NoLo drinks – whilst brands continue to release new products into the NoLo drinks category – worth around £110 million in 2018/19 – it is thought NoLo products comprised just 0·2% of the total market for alcoholic drinks in that year. The report estimates that annual sales growth of NoLo drinks would have to exceed over 40% per annum for market share to stand above 10% by 2030Consumers in the NoLo market – survey results commissioned specially for this study found that one in five people (21%) have consumed an alcohol-free beer, cider, wine or spirit in the last year. Including low-strength drinks (up to 1·2% alcohol content), this rises to 27%. Young people and those in higher income socioeconomic groups were more likely to have tried a NoLo productThe regulation of the NoLo market – Guidance and ABV descriptors issued by the Department of Health and Social Care contains elements of ambiguity and are often out of step with other European countriesThe presentation of NoLo products – press coverage of NoLo drinks typically centres on the ‘new sensibility’ of younger people and NoLo as a ‘community’ or ‘movement’. Some producers have tapped into this by promoting their NoLo products as substitutes for stronger products. Others prefer to market them as additional to existing drinks on the marketThe impact on alcohol-related harms – survey results for this report indicate that among those that have consumed NoLo drinks over the past 12 months, about four in ten have cut back on their alcohol consumption. However, a similar number reported no change. A significant proportion of consumers of NoLo also indicated that they do so on top of, rather than instead of, stronger products. This raises concerns about how NoLo products can tackle alcohol-related harms at the population levelConsiderations for policy – whilst the Government has indicated that NoLo products will be key to reducing alcohol-related harm, this report cautions that NoLo drinks must form part of a much wider harm prevention strategy. Government should also consider reforming ABV descriptors for NoLo and legislate to protect against alibi marketing.Commenting on the findings, ACUK director of research and policy Lucy Holmes said (you can listen to our interview on NoLo drinks in our podcast):MPs and peers call on government to urgently address Britain’s alcohol harm crisisAbridged from the Alcohol Health Alliance UK press releaseAs the leading risk-factor for ill health, death and disability among those aged 15 to 49 in England, alcohol is inflicting long-lasting harm across all areas of society and family life, yet not enough is being done to tackle the problem, say a group of cross-party parliamentarians, who are calling on the government to develop an alcohol strategy to get to the heart of the nation’s drink problem.Under the independent Commission on Alcohol Harm was set up by alcohol health experts and parliamentarians to examine the full extent of alcohol harm across the UK. Evidence submitted to the Commission highlights the serious impact alcohol harm has on family life, with children living with an alcohol dependent parent five times more likely to develop eating disorders, twice as likely to develop alcohol dependence or addiction, and three times as likely to consider suicide. The accompanying online launch also saw moving testimony from those whose lives have been harmed by alcohol.The Commission concluded that a new UK-wide alcohol strategy is required urgently. Recommendations from the final report include (summary):The new alcohol strategy must include targeted measures to support families and protect children from harm, including alcohol-fuelled violenceThe new alcohol strategy must be science-led and adopt the World Health Organization’s evidence-based recommendations for reducing the harmful use of alcohol. This includes measures on affordability – such as the introduction of minimum unit pricing in England – and restrictions on alcohol advertising and marketing – such as ending sports sponsorship, better information for consumers, advice and treatment for people drinking at hazardous and harmful levels, and action to reduce drink-drivingReducing the £3·5bn cost of alcohol to the NHS would help to relieve pressure on the service and free up capacity to respond to the consequences of COVID-19Changing the conversation and challenging alcohol’s position in our culture. This means addressing the stigma around alcohol use disorders, encouraging conversations about drinking to take place more easily and creating space for people to be open about the effects of alcohol on their health and those around them.Professor Sir Ian Gilmore, chair of the Alcohol Health Alliance said (you can also hear his thoughts on the report in the podcast): ‘When people think about alcohol harm, they often think about liver damage – but its impact goes much further than this. This report highlights the very real ways that alcohol can devastate not just the life of the drinker but those around them. If we wish to emerge from the coronavirus pandemic as a healthier society, we must address the ongoing health crisis of alcohol harm.’If you want to help the Alcohol Health Alliance reach decision makers so they take action to reduce alcohol harm, you can – follow the link below to share the report with your local MP.Launch of Men and Alcohol reportScottish Health Action on Alcohol Problems (SHAAP) and the Institute of Alcohol Studies (IAS) have launched a new report presenting key findings and recommendations for policy and practice from their 2019/2020 Men and Alcohol seminar series (09 Sep), along with a webinar discussion of key themes raised.The report highlights how alcohol consumption is closely connected to male identity, and that alcohol-related harms, both mental and physical, remain a significant issue for men in the UK, with men less likely to seek help for mental health problems.Key recommendations for policy include: calls to strengthen restrictions on alcohol availability; to enforce bans on alcohol advertising, sponsorship and promotion; to make alcohol less affordable via taxation and pricing policies, and to invest in youth services and ‘alcohol-free’ spaces to help prevent alcohol-related harm.The report’s recommendations for practice address the need for all services to be joined-up, trauma-informed and exercising professional optimism, and emphasise that services should be guided by the expertise of individuals with lived experience in order to reduce the stigma of seeking help.Alcohol-related admissions to hospitals risingNHS Digital’s latest release on patient care activity in English NHS hospitals (17 Sep) has found that there were nearly 670,000 admissions by diagnosis for the three most common alcohol-related case types (Mental and behavioural disorders due to use of alcohol, Alcoholic liver disease, and Toxic effects of alcohol) in 2019/20.The number of admissions marks a 4% increase on the previous year: there were approximately 644,000 admissions in 2018/19. As the main diagnosis, the three main case types totalled just over 120,000 admissions, 2% up on the previous period, when there were almost 118,000.When split by case type, the majority (69%) of the three major alcohol-related admissions were for Mental and behavioural disorders due to use of alcohol (459,468), of which it was the main diagnoses for 68,128 admissions. A quarter were for Alcoholic liver disease (170,031), of which it was the main reason for 50,561 admissions. 6% were for the Toxic effects of alcohol (40,337), of which it was the main reason for 1,329 admissions.The majority of cases were male (67%), and when split by age, those in their fifties were most frequently admitted to English hospitals in 2019/20. There were across-the-board increases in admissions for patients aged 50 years and above compared with 2018/19. In other researchAlmost half of Scots surveyed now back minimum pricing for alcohol: 49·8% of 1,022 people surveyed by Public Health Scotland supported the measure (22 Sep).The survey comes as research published in Health Economics finds that minimum unit pricing (MUP) has had a successful initial impact on increasing alcohol prices (thus reducing affordability) and reducing alcohol sales (and consumption by proxy). The paper found that the impact of MUP on alcohol prices and sales is most pronounced on off‐premise venues (15 Sep).And in Wales, polling commissioned by Alcohol Change UK Cymru found that three quarters of 1,000 respondents knew about MUP compared with just half of drinkers in Wales when asked a year ago, and that of those who were aware of its implementation six months ago, 10% were drinking less alcohol because of it (Bro Radio, 28 Sep).Using publicly available national data (including Hospital Episode Statistics), a study conducted by the University of Hull reported that a decrease in admissions to specialist alcohol inpatient services subsequently marked an increase in admissions to acute hospital services (Alcohol and Alcoholism, 04 Sep). This decrease in admissions to specialist treatment centres has been associated with significant reductions in public health funding to such services since the introduction of the Health and Social Care Act 2012. However, these reductions have resulted in a shift of service use, particularly placing increasing pressures on emergency departments due to a larger number of patients with chronic alcohol disorders accessing care.A new paper conducted by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Dark Nudges and Sludge in Big Alcohol: Behavioral Economics, Cognitive Biases, and Alcohol Industry Corporate Social Responsibility, evaluates the roles of dark nudges and sludges in the alcohol industry (Milbank Quarterly, 15 Sep; video summary here). It shows how alcohol industry bodies such as Drinkaware use dark nudges and sludges to influence consumers’ views, often against their best interests. In particular, messages promoting the ‘social norms’ of drinking are frequently distributed, for example the technique of ‘omission biases’ in the infographic ‘Alcohol and the body’ from Drinkaware Ireland, which, by omitting women, consequently fails to highlight that breast cancer is also a major hazard of alcohol consumption.A multicohort study conducted by University College London has shown that those who have reported losing consciousness due to alcohol consumption (regardless of their weekly intake) have double the risk of developing dementia, compared with moderate drinkers who never lost consciousness (JAMA Network, 09 Sep). Overall, those who were moderate-to-heavy drinkers had a 1·2-fold greater risk of developing dementia in the long-term. Alcohol misuse was seen to cause brain atrophy and neuronal loss in several areas of the brain, such as the frontal cortex. Other side-effects of heavy drinking, such as hypertension, can also be attributed to dementia. Plans to record pregnant womens’ consumption not so NICEPregnancy rights’ advocates have criticised a proposal from National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) of a Quality Standard to record pregnant women’s alcohol consumption on their child’s medical records in England (Guardian, 16 Sep).NICE’s proposal was drawn up as part of a consultation to cement guidelines for doctors to diagnose and prevent foetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD). Proponents argue that the risk of FASD – a range of physical and mental conditions caused by drinking in pregnancy – to an unborn child should be the reason for prioritising their needs.However, pregnancy charities including the British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BASP) and Birthrights suggested that the guideline on recording alcohol consumption could be a breach of the expectant mother’s confidentiality, and therefore fall foul of data protection regulations.A quarter of adopted UK children may have symptoms of FASDThe results of an Adoption UK survey of nearly 5,000 adopters underscore FASD campaigners’ concern about drinking habits during pregnancy: one in four adopted children are either diagnosed with or suspected to have a range of conditions caused by drinking in pregnancy (Guardian, 29 Sep).8% of children had a diagnosis, and a further 17% were suspected by their parents to have foetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD),The survey also showed 55% of families polled had waited two years or longer for an FASD diagnosis, and 78% felt healthcare professionals lacked basic knowledge about the condition.Maria Catterick, director of the FASD Network UK, said the statistics were unsurprising given that ‘alcohol, drugs and domestic abuse are major reasons why children are placed into the care system’.Small Grants Scheme awards announced!We are delighted to announce that we will be funding three projects led by early career researchers in the alcohol field through the new IAS Small Grants Scheme.Proposals were considered in a two-stage process and reviewed externally.

Another epic journey of multiple buses and trains to get to Yaxley, a small village in the middle of Cambridgeshire. With the train going to Peterborough, we stopped at The Draper's Arms for lunch. A huge Wetherspoon's near the station, and another pre-match stop at The Duck & Drake. Post match refreshments were held at The Three Horseshoes, in Yaxley, before getting a bus, a train and another bus back to The Wheatsheaf to be entertained by Sidewinder, a 4-piece blues and rock band from Watford.

Oh Crumbs - The Gluten Free Podcast. A podcast about all things gluten free, coeliac disease and staying positive despite your dietary requirements. By gluten free bloggers Laura Strange and Sarah Howells. Episode 13 - this week’s podcast is sugar-fuelled by gluten free doughnuts thanks to our absolute hero of a guest, Ryan Panchoo, who brought us some tasty treats to eat during this interview! Ryan is the founder of Borough 22, a gluten free vegan doughnut company based in London (who deliver across the UK). Borough 22 is a business bourne out of Ryan’s love for his family - with no decent products on the market that would satisfy their multiple dietary requirements, Ryan initially set out to simply create a delicious treat that his wife and children could eat.Fast forward several years Ryan now has a full time doughnut empire on his hands! We chatted to Ryan about why kids make the best recipe reviewers, the early days of his business, road tripping to the South West with a car full of doughnuts, using social media to grow your business, getting stocked Selfridges, having to rapidly learn the ropes, why sometimes you need to take a step back in order to improve, leaving his day job, how to safely produce gluten free products and the best egg substitutes in vegan baking.Before the interview, we have a Wetherspoon update for you, a shout out for Justin Bieber, details of Laura’s unfortunate kitchen disaster (and some spooky recipes in the works), a roundup of all the best gluten free Halloween product treats and some tips on how to handle being a gluten free guest at weddings.USEFUL LINKS: Oh Crumbs Instagram: www.instagram.com/ohcrumbspodcast Oh Crumbs Facebook: www.facebook.com/ohcrumbspodcastBorough 22 website: https://www.honestburgers.co.uk/ (or you can also find Ryan on social media @borough22)Halloween Product Round Up: https://www.mygfguide.com/gluten-free-halloween-products-2019/Update on Wetherspoon's gluten free menu: https://theglutenfreeblogger.com/wetherspoons-what-you-can-eat/GET IN TOUCH: ohcrumbspodcast@gmail.com Music: 'Sunny' from Bensound.com

There was an interesting item on the morning news regarding gun crime in the U.S.A.....they had an ex policeman talking about how he runs courses teaching young kids how to protect themselves should someone come into the school and start shooting at everybody.... Boris is still hanging on in there trying to sort the country out despite being accused of touching a woman's knee 20 years ago....if this was part of a novel you would never believe it....what the hell this pathetic allegation has to do with politics is beyond me.. I recently ordered two tee shirts from Amazon....only one arrived so I contacted them...they told me they would refund the money for the two tee shirts and I could keep the one I had.....was Wetherspoon....don't you just love it....how's that for a two finger salute. If you ever visit the Roman City of Chester you can actually find some Romans still there....they work for the council and are disguised as traffic wardens....and you don't even have to park on a yellow line to get a ticket....I know...I GOT ONE!!.. The song this week has an interesting story behind it....it is called "Strangle My Boss".....which I originally wrote in the 70s and through s friend I met Leapy Lee.....he took the song to Evolution Records (who he was with at the time) and they signed me up as a songwriter....this particular song was recorded by The Bonzo Dog DooDah Band....I also wrote a song for Diana Dors who recorded it...then like a lot of companies back then they went under....I later recorded the song myself in a studio in Clapham and another chap I knew took it to Australia where it was recorded by a DJ called Barry Mundi and The Fishcakes .....that was the last I heard of it until this week when I was looking through YouTube and there it was in all its glory.Some country singer called Johnny Shilo has recently recorded it and put it on YouTube...I don't know the guy or where he heard the song but it's a great version....so here it is "Strangle My Boss"

Richard Porritt, Steve Anglesey and Geri Scott return to review another chaotic week on Planet Brexit. This week Steve sits down over a pint of ale with mad Brexiteer and Wetherspoon boss Tim Martin.  And, of course, another Brexiteer of the Week is crowned.

Theresa May has been told by the EU that the Brexit deal is not negotiable. Are we heading towards a General Election? Some of our listeners think so,and some others believe we talk Brexit too much. In the meantime Wetherspoon's have gone to court to shut down a parody Twitter account. And, of course, here's this week's Perrior Awards! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Even though it was a home game, we had plans to visit a few pubs, quaff a few ales and go and see a band in Luton that evening. The game its self was a great match with plenty of goals, a red card and a penalty. Both teams contributed to a brilliant game of football. After the match, with the Vicar of Dribley as our designated driver, we visited the Wetherspoon’s Gary Cooper’s, The King’s Arms in Houghton Regis and then on to the George II in Luton to watch The Von Trapps. www.facebook.com/groups/5721657742 A fun loving four piece, The Von Trapps are a loud rock and punk covers band, who fully expect audience participation. Unfortunately, having got the settings sorted on the recording equipment, we only managed to capture about 30 seconds of the band, so we will have to try again next time the boys are in town. Opening track: "Total Football" by Parquet Courts https://parquetcourts.wordpress.com Closing track: “Janey” by The Cavemen www.dirtywaterrecords.co.uk/cavemen Contact us via Twitter: @StGeorgesBlues1 or email: stgeorgesbluesexperience@gmail.com

After breakfast, our day started at the local Wetherspoon's, Samuel Lloyd named after the founder of the local steel works which dominated the town, until Thatcher destroyed the British steel industry in the 80s. The usual issue with under staffing at Wetherspoon’s was exacerbated when the duty manager passed out and an ambulance was called. Worth the wait was the selection of beers from the Grainstore Brewery. www.grainstorebrewery.com/drink/ They stocked GB Best, Rutland Panther, a dark mild and Gold, their light golden summer ale. After the game we met in the Chequered Flag, part of the Greene King Hungry Horse chain. All the cask beer was off, so went for the post-modern classic BrewDog Punk IPA, www.brewdog.com/beer/headliners/punk-ipa whilst dissecting our match and half watching the Liverpool-Brighton game. Train home to Dunstable and off to the Wheatsheaf to see a band. The Lash are a local band that have been going for some years and in various formats and never fail to impress. https://my.lemonrock.com/thelash No cask ale again in the Wheaty, so had to resort to bottled Hobgoblin, the legendary ruby beer from the Wychwood Brewery. www.wychwood.co.uk/beers/ A good time was had by all. On to the Dunstable Derby, an FA Cup replay and more league action.

In this episode I covered my thoughts on businesses that use social media for the sake of social media. - How getting "LIKES" on Facebook has very little value. - The primary aim of any internet marketing and business activity (especially for start-ups) should be about making sales. - Wetherspoon ditching social media - Aim for the smaller deeper group rather than the wider shorter group. - Why building a Facebook group and community is so important. - Human to human (H2H) relationships over business to business (B2B). - Uploading customers and prospects email addresses to your targeting on Facebook Advertising. Which will make your ad appear directly on their Facebook news feed. “If I took over marketing & sales I would produce 50 sec to 4 min videos for Facebook with the intent for sales and brand” – Gary Vaynerchuck

In this edition of the #FuturePRoof podcast Sarah Hall and Stephen Waddington discuss the CIPR; Facebook; Wetherspoons; #AIinPR; and the #FuturePRoof NHS project. #1 CIPR President’s update: CBI membership It’s been a while since we caught up to record a podcast. Sarah’s been busy juggling her commitments as President of the CIPR, with her day job as agency boss. She‘s reinstated the quarterly report and talks through the highlights of her first three months. The CIPR has joined to CBI to assert the value of public relations to business. #2 Facebook data scrutiny; regulation inevitable The conversation around Facebook and data privacy has grown louder throughout the year. The Cambridge Analytica investigation by The Guardian has brought a fresh round of scrutiny from the UK and US governments. Some form of regulation seems almost inevitable. #3 Social media fails at scale; it’s a conversation Wetherspoon closed down its 600 social media accounts last week. The pub chain had an account per property that was used to push marketing promotions. It’s simply not possible to manage conversations at this scale. #4 Characterising tools and skills #AIinPR The #AIinPR panel has crowdsourced and characterised third party public relations tools. We’ve mapped these against capabilities in public relations to determine the impact of technology and artificial intelligence on practice both now and in the future. CEO Alastair McCapra gave an overview of the project at the World PR Forum in Oslo this week. #5 Watch out for a new #FuturePRoof publication celebrating NHS communicators Sarah’s launching the third version of #FuturePRoof in May. It’s a series of 25 essays celebrating the 70th anniversary of the NHS from the viewpoint of professional communicators. Key themes include the role of communications in achieving organisational outcomes; how organisations can secure and maintain trust; planning and data; digital-first strategies; how to address barriers to technological innovation; and the role of practitioners in managing change.

This week’s Dumteedum is from Northern Fingers and her snotty boy.On this week’s episode we hear views from Hannah Mae, Vicky Cole, Wetherspoon, Blithe Spirit, Boulder, Julie Atkinson and Curious Alice. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The Curator Podcast: Season Two, Episode 1 - Joe Danher from FOESIt's good to be back.If you've missed me then rest assured, I've missed you too dear listener.This is season two and as you may have noticed, things are a little different sonically. The format is still roughly the same (for now, that'll evolve more gradually) but there's a marked textural difference to the sound. I hope you like it.Feedback would be appreciated.On this episode I'm talking to Joe from FOES. He's the band's guitar player and manager. We had a really brief, cool chat in a Wetherspoon's pub on the night of their show in Glasgow earlier this year. I'd loved to have chat some more but we were a little pushed for time.I had do some soul searching because for a while I genuinely thought I was done with the podcast. That's why I didn't return in September as planned. I even had some opportunities to interview some really great artists but I just couldn't bring myself to do it.This interview with Joe really got me buzzing again, and I'm grateful he took the time to talk to me. Without that chat, this podcast would have simply ceased to exist.FOES are a cracking band, and you should definitely check out their new album The Summit Lies Skyward which is out now on Basick Records. Joe is a thoroughly nice chap and the band have worked very, very hard over the course of the past couple years to obtain the following they have. I hope they continue to grow and go from strength to strength musically.Check out the video for "The Everest" below and go catch a show already!Featured MusicIntro: David Szesztay - CombatIncidental music:Podington Bear - Pink Gradient (part of the Sound of Picture Production library).Blue Dot Session - InessentialI make no claim to the copyright of any of the music in this episode.
