This is the HQ of Avis Capital. It claims to be one of the largest companies in the UK, with £58bn in assets and 31% returns promised to investors.
Except it's all a lie.

Dear BlueSkyers. Sadly I'm getting many reports of scammers pretending to be me here, incl messaging people with 'investments' . Pls share/help me spread word that, as you know, THIS IS MY ONLY BLUE SKY account (proved as my handle is an official MoneySavingExpert one). All others are scams

So, 2025 is the year that I get to introduce/inflict my new pseudonymous pen name - S.J. Fleet.
And send this little critter out into the world.
August 2025 will be the debut of The Cut Throat Trial (although you can pre-order now).
And good Lord I’m terrified.

🚨 ICYMI: 1.4 million emergency food parcels were provided by food banks in our community in just 6 months.
This isn't right. Everyone should have enough money to afford the essentials.

OK- here we go. Sorry for the delay, I was not prepared for the exertion required in the thrill-a-minute adventure that is… CACAO FERMENTATION.
Yes, this will actually take 5 days. After that two days of drying. I’m not making this up. Nothing happens. Really. You’ll see.
Anyway, off we go!
