I was once the victim of some very nasty, fake Google reviews. I wrote a blog detailing my investigations which led me to identify the culprit. I decided not to publish for fear of looking unprofessional. Now this #coleenvsrebekah scandal is out, I'm tempted. Thoughts?

Thoughts on #GNR . I did it in 2021 and loved it. This year, with the original route, not so much. 60,000 people is too many. One single point of failure (South Shields Metro) is not enough. We cannot help the rain but I hope they learn from this.

I'm hearing a LOT of #copywriters are having a hard time lately - largely because they're not getting the respect they deserve. As another copywriter rightly said to me today, "financial advisors wouldn't have to put up with this!". What is it about this industry? Anybody else?

In 2019, a guy made me pitch a website copy quote to him. I spent ages on it, but it turned out he was just a new copywriter looking to see how others do it. He just messaged me offering me work. When I called him out on what he did in 2019, he blocked me. Guilty conscience?
