Just 1 small negative…

Only criticism is that we ordered Friday and paid extra for next day delivery and it came Tuesday. Not a bank holiday.

Reply from Travelling Man

Hello! Thanks for your order! I think there may be some confusion with this. We aim to dispatch orders the same day when the order is placed before 2pm. Your order came in at 4pm so was dispatched on Monday (as the warehouse is closed on Saturday and Sunday during none peak times) on a DPD next day delivery. All the details of our shipping are in our shipping and returns part of our website. I'm sorry we didn't reach your expectations on this occasion and I really hope you try us again soon! :) Best, Nabil I hope you

Perfect description and quick delivery.

Purchased a couple of items from this shop online they arrived really quick and they arrived very well packaged and the description was spot on. Zero complaints will definitely order more in the future.

I recently ordered an almost full collection of "Goodnight PunPun" from Travelling Man. The price was exceptionally good. Items were dispatched and received quickly.

Excellent & Fast Service

I orded a product from Travelling Man after seeing they had a product at great price compared to similar online model retailers. Travelling Man delivered it in a fast ammount of time. The package arrived in good condition with no issues. I have visted Travelling Man Manchester numerous times & have found the store to be a pleasant experience, it has wide range of items & helpful staff.

Great pricing and service as always!

Great pricing and service as always! On this particular occasion, I was contacted as a heads up that one of the books I ordered had some minor damage with a picture, and they gave me some options (discount/refund) etc - I really appreciated this as it was going to be a book for my wife who is an avid collector so I politely asked for a refund on that one book which they happily did and I still got the rest of my order in the next couple days! Many thanks, will continue ordering from them :)

Great Value

Delivery was fast and the models I purchased were cheaper and more accessible than if I were to get them from the local shop due to current work hours. Very pleased with how things went.

About Travel Man

Since 2015 Travel Man has been delivering the definitive guide to making the most of 48 hours (and sometimes a little longer) in some of the most exciting destinations in the world.   In the process it has become the most popular holiday show on UK television.

For the first 9 series the show was hosted by comedic polymath (Actor, Presenter Writer, Director) Richard Ayoade. Since 2020 the show’s host has been the comedic polymath (Comedian,  Presenter, Writer, Director) Joe Lycett . Joining them on their travels have been some of the finest and most available comic talents from Britain and the US, among them Bill Bailey, Sarah Millican, Lena Dunham, Jon Hamm and Paul Rudd.

The show’s aim remains the same; a mini-break with the boring bits taken out.  A guide that combines famous attractions, the quirky and the cultural, mixing the must-see and the offbeat, and making sure there is always lots to do, whether it’s a cookery class, an interactive tour, or even an art lesson.

Travel Man’s peak audience for an episode is 2.8 million and its YouTube channel attracts 2 million views a month.  The show has been nominated for 2 BAFTA awards and won 5 Royal Television Society Awards, the most recent of these being a Best Presenter gong for Joe Lycett.  Travel Man has been shown in 62 countries.  It has received glowing reviews from as far afield as the New York Times and the Australian Guardian, and was described as ‘hilarious and surprisingly informative’ by The Times.  

The show is produced in Birmingham by North One Television .

Man of Many’s Staff Favourites – 12 April 2024

W hile some of the boys are overseas at Watches and Wonders 2024 (sipping Champagne with million-dollar watches on their wrists) there are a few of us holding down the fort in the office in an effort to bring you another edition of Man of Many’s Staff Favourites . This week co-founder Scott Purcell headed down to Melbourne to check out Starward’s newly renovated distillery and came back with a bottle of his own blend! Let’s check out all that and more below.

RELATED : Man of Many Staff Favourites – 6 April 2024 .

Starward’s New Melbourne Distillery and Bar

Scott Purcell – Co-Founder

I had the pleasure of attending lunch at Starward’s new Port Melbourne distillery, just 10 minutes from the CBD. If you’re not familiar with Starward (and something I was shocked to hear that 4 out of 5 whisky drinkers in Australia have not heard of it!), it’s the Australian whisky I recommend all my friends buy when asked.

It’s incredible value for money and perfect for someone who’s just getting into whisky. You can pick up a bottle for around $70 which is significantly less than ‘Tassie Tax’ whisky from some of our favourite distilleries that cost upwards of $200 for a 500ml bottle.

Chatting with David Vitale, Starward’s Founder, there’s something inherently special about the brand that’s reflective of Australia, and if there’s anything he wants to drill home, it’s that they use wet-fill Australian red wine casks of exceptional quality to age their whisky. This is very unlike any other whisky brands that often use second-fill American oak or simply “finish” their whiskies in other types of casks.

Such a pioneering attitude has led them to be crowned The Most Awarded Distillery of the Year at the 2022 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. If you’re curious,  you can read much more about the brand here . 

But back to the distillery. In all honesty, I’ve yet to see a distillery quite like it, with a massive funky Melbourne bar in the front, world-class cocktails and insanely delicious food led by Head Chef Drew Traynor (ex Eau De Vie). The menu features small plates and snacks crafted from locally sourced ingredients, with all producers within a day’s drive of the distillery. The one thing not to pass up is the bread with house-baked bread with spent barley straight from the Mash with Pure Peninsula honey and whisky butter. I was also lucky enough to try their  ‘Fill Your Own Bottle’ experience to choose from a cask-strength red-wine or white-wine cask and choose your own label.

Cartier Santos-Dumont Rewind

Rob Edwards – Branded Content Editor

I’ve tried on a great number of very nice watches during my time at Watches and Wonders 2024, but something about this Santos-Dumont Rewind from Cartier has me spellbound. I never would have imagined myself drawn to such a timepiece, but here I am. Live and learn.

This is an immaculate (and fun) bit of watchmaking. All the classic Santos-Dumont elements are present—rounded square case, rivets on the bezel, cabochon crown, Roman numeral markers—but with the quirk of said markers running around the rich red dial in reverse order, meaning you need to read the time backwards. The manual-winding movement must also be wound in reverse. Cartier’s team didn’t disclose if this is done for a specific reason, but I suspect they’re just messing with us. As long as they keep making watches like this, they’re welcome to do so.

Boasting a platinum case measuring 31.5mm by 43.5mm, with a thickness of just 7.3mm, it’s a perfectly proportioned dress watch, paired with an alligator leather strap that’s allegedly brown, but looked more red to me. Sadly there are only 200 of these being made, so I’m unlikely to encounter it again, but if the day comes that I need to learn how to tell the time backwards, well, let’s just say that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.

Beats Flex Earbuds

Alex Martinez – Media Sales and Brand Partnerships

The best possible scenario for any product is that it does what it’s supposed to do. It does the job well and it does it every time. That can be said for Dr Dre’s Beats Flex Earbuds. Great audio, seamless Bluetooth connection, convenient auto-pause when you remove them from the ear, simple controls and a satisfying magnetic connection that keeps them secure when not in use.

I rely on these earbuds daily for my commute to work and while working at my computer in the office. The Bluetooth seamlessly switches between my phone and desktop, and from time to I even wear them around my neck from morning till evening if I don’t feel like putting them away.

Now controversially they are actually called ‘Beats Flex Wireless Earbuds’ but do have a cable. This might confuse some consumers searching for a true wireless option, but for me, it’s a selling point. Countless times I have lost true wireless earbuds in my social antics. The cable makes them harder to lose in general and easier to find around the house. Shout out to those who know that struggle.

These are not game-changers in any way. But they are a high standard ol’ reliable that will only set you back $99. Big yes in a cozzie livs crisis.

Kit: Skincare

Allie Woodard – Branded Content Intern

After coming back from a snorkelling trip to the Great Barrier Reef this past weekend, I found myself a little sore from the hours of swimming with clownfish, sharks, and turtles. While I usually waddle around from soreness the day after strenuous exercise, I’ve found a solution to soothe tightness and not bail out on a second-day workout.

This week I tried out kit:, an Australian skin and body care company, to help out with my post-adventure recovery and I can confidently say that I was feeling relaxed after and ready for a run the next day. I used the Body Nutrition Lotion and Gua Sha Body Tool , which was a perfect combo as the lotion is the ideal consistency to keep the gua sha gliding over muscles.

The lotion, along with the brand’s other products, is made of simple ingredients that ditch harmful chemicals and protect your skin’s health. The stainless steel gua sha has three sides with different edges and angles that align perfectly with the curvature of the body. Pro tip : run the gua sha under hot water to get that spa-like experience.

Hyatt Centric Melbourne

Richie Hall – Video Producer

I recently spent the weekend in Melbourne watching the Swannies beat Collingwood at the MCG. Sounds like a pretty good time but my stay at the Hyatt Centric made it even better. I wanted to be within walking distance of the MCG, Flinders St Station and all of Melbourne’s trendy laneways and the Hyatt Centric on Downie St in the city ticked all those boxes.

The 24-hour fitness centre is well equipped with a good combo of free weights and machines and let’s not forget the 25-metre indoor lap pool. The breakfast buffet is one of the better buffets I’ve indulged in recently and Langlands Restaurant and Bar on the top floor provides both amazing views and delicious, locally sourced Aussie cuisine.

Whether you’re stopping in for a business lunch or a moody evening, Langlands is a great spot. The staff at Hyatt Centric are very welcoming and friendly and the lobby itself is a great place to relax, do some work or grab a bite at Allie Lane – the onsite cafe. So next time you’re booking a Melbourne trip to watch your team play check out the Hyatt Centric.

Bournemouth vs. Man United Livestream: How to Watch English Premier League Soccer From Anywhere

The Red Devils travel to the Vitality Stadium looking to increase their chances of a top-five finish.

Manchester United will be hoping to keep their outside hopes of UEFA Champions League qualification alive as they travel to the south coast looking for a win against AFC Bournemouth. 

The Red Devils have failed to win any of their last three matches in the English Premier League, but will have drawn confidence from their dramatic draw last weekend against title-chasing Liverpool. 

The home side, meanwhile, are looking to chalk up their first league double over United, having claimed a memorable 3-0 victory in the reverse fixture at Old Trafford four months ago.

Below, we'll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the game live, wherever you are in the world. 

Dominic Solanke scored the opening goal in Bournemouth's surprise 3-0 win at Old Trafford in the reverse fixture back in December. 

AFC Bournemouth vs. Manchester United: When and where?

AFC Bournemouth host Manchester United at the Vitality Stadium on  Saturday, April 13  Kickoff is set for 5:30 p.m. BST local time, which is 12:30 p.m. ET or 9:30 a.m. PT in the US and Canada, and 2:30 a.m. AEST in Australia on Sunday, April 14 .

How to watch the Bournemouth vs. Man United game online from anywhere using a VPN

If you find yourself unable to view the game locally, you may need a different way to watch the game -- that's where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it's also a great idea if you're traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins. 

With a VPN, you're able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. So if your internet provider or mobile carrier has stuck you with an IP address that incorrectly shows your location in a blackout zone, a VPN can correct that problem by giving you an IP address in your correct, non-blackout area. Most VPNs, like our  Editors' Choice, ExpressVPN , make it really easy to do this. 

Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you're streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions. 

Looking for other options? Be sure to check out some of the other great  VPN deals  taking place right now.

Best VPN for streaming

ExpressVPN is our current best VPN pick for people who want a reliable and safe VPN, and it works on a variety of devices. It's normally $13 a month, and you can sign up for ExpressVPN and save 35% -- the equivalent of $8.32 a month -- if you get an annual subscription. 

Note that ExpressVPN offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Livestream Bournemouth vs. Man United in the US

Quick tips for streaming the Premier League using a VPN 

• With four variables at play -- your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN -- your experience and success when streaming EPL matches may vary.
• If you don't see your desired location as a default option for ExpressVPN, try using the "search for city or country" option.
• If you're having trouble getting the game after you've turned on your VPN and set it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log into your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs -- like Roku -- don't have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you'll have to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you're using (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.
• All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main site for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after you install a cable network's sports app, you'll be asked to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to your email address on file for your smart TV. This is where having a VPN on your router will also help, since both devices will appear to be in the correct location. 
• And remember, browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so be sure you're using a privacy-first browser to log into your services. We normally recommend  Brave .

Cost of a pint

Many of us have noticed the price of pints creeping up in recent years. 

The cost of draught lager has gone up nearly 30% since January 2019, according to the Office for National Statistics.

The beer doesn't taste any different despite the increase in price - so where exactly does that £6-7 for a pint go?

Motherhood penalty

The word "penalty" isn't one that should go hand-in-hand with motherhood. But deep-rooted structural inequalities are causing women to save less for retirement when they become parents.

Mothers face a pension penalty of up to £183,000 by taking time out of work to raise children, according to analysis by the pensions and investment company Royal London...

Quitting your job to go travelling

You could be forgiven for feeling a twinge of jealousy when you see someone packing it all in to go travelling for a few months. 

Perhaps it's made you wonder if you could do the same thing yourself. 

Of course, it won't be realistic for everyone and the reality is it takes a lot of planning and saving. For many people during the cost of living crisis, it's simply not possible to save much, if at all.

But if you're wondering where to begin (and how much you might need to save), we've got some advice from two travel bloggers who have been there and done that...

By Brad Young, Money team

Earning up to £60,000 a year for letting Stormzy film a music video in your kitchen or Paloma Faith play with Lego in the living room might sound farfetched to homeowners unfamiliar with the shoot locations industry. 

But every star, studio or big brand that wants to film in a residential property needs someone willing to offer up their home for the day - and they'll pay between £700 and £3,000 for the privilege.

Homeowners and shooting agencies have spoken with the Money team about the promises and pitfalls of working with the likes of Disney, Netflix and ITV to take advantage of this niche income stream. 

Among them was Ed Reeve, a photographer from Hackney, who has had stars such as David Attenborough, Stormzy and Jim Broadbent walk through his doors in the 17 years he's been renting out his home. 

"It has been a really positive experience on the whole for us. Generally, the shoot crews are really lovely people and they're very respectful of your home," said Mr Reeve, who is registered with location agency 1st Option.

He hosts between 12 and 20 productions a year. Most bring in £1,000 for a one-day shoot, but some earn him up to £3,000 per day or last multiple days.

"We've met lots of interesting people," said Mr Reeve, including Gillian Anderson, who stars in Sex Education, Hugh Bonneville (Downton Abbey) and Claire Foy (The Crown).

After Stormzy filmed a music video, Mr Reeves said that "every grime artist wanted to shoot here".

David Attenborough once turned up early for a BBC shoot, resulting in the pair sitting down for a cup of tea and Mr Reeve introducing his three-day old daughter to the presenter.

"He held her and looked at her with delight... it was a really special moment," said Mr Reeve. 

Shoots can result in scratches around the interior, but Mr Reeve said he uses some of the money to redecorate – or in one case, let a Delux advert do it for him. 

'It's never free money'

Less enthusiastic about the industry was Emer Stamp, 48, a children's author from London, who has hosted for two years.

"You think, 'Oh yeah, my house is going to be rocking', and everyone comes round and goes 'Your house will be perfect', but for whatever reason, it's not.

"My takeout is it's not as easy to make money as you think."

Ms Stamp said her home had been chosen for three productions, including a Dell shoot and a Lego advert starring Paloma Faith, earning her approximately £6,000. 

Hosting also puts your schedule at the mercy of production companies – and sometimes they may not show up, said Ms Stamp.

"Like anything, you think it's free money but it's never free money."

So what does make a location popular? 

Becky Butler, managing director at agency Location Collective, said there is demand for average-sized family homes with a 60s/70s vibe and unusual features. 

And while a lot of the homes listed by location agencies look expensive, that was far from a deal-breaker. 

"All the practical side of things are as important, if not more so, than the aesthetics of the location," said Ms Butler.

Parking, easy-going neighbours and having one large room for equipment goes a long way with clients.

Getting the combination right can create "a fantastic additional income stream", said Jennifer Marshall, of Shootfactory, which has connected homeowners with everyone from Little Mix to Killing Eve. 

"We have properties that through our company have earned anywhere between £20,000 and £60,000 a year."

Much of the industry is based in London but, between them, the three agencies contacted by the Money team have organised filming in Manchester, Birmingham, the Midlands, the Home Counties and coastal areas.

Both Ms Marshall and the team at Location Collective said having a neighbour willing to get in on the action can be a real selling point.

This might mean a second house on the same street for a TV show, or simply somewhere to house the production team.

"Being able to let them pretty much take over is quite key. Sometimes they might have demands like painting or moving furniture," said Lily Gonnissen, head of business development at Location Collective. 

Being quick to respond to questions, contactable during the working day, and able to accommodate viewings at short notice was a top priority, said Ms Gonnissen. 

"Be friendly and welcoming - brands remember a good owner," said a spokesperson for 1st Option: "And make sure the house is clean and clutter free before any shoots."

The default tariff for prepayment meters is now cheaper than other types of meter.

It follows the energy price cap update to unit rates and standing charges from 1 April.

Uswitch data shows 56% of households don't know about the change.

What do you need to know?

Prepayment meters have traditionally been a more expensive way of paying for energy - but now prepayment standing charges have been lowered to match those for direct debit customers.

Because prepay units are cheaper, people with these meters should pay around £47 less a year than those on direct debits (£1,643 versus £1,690).

Customers who pay when they get a bill are forking out the most - around 5.8p more per day on the standing charge than those with direct debits.

Should we all get prepayment meters?

As energy costs come down, suppliers like EDF Energy have now started offering fixed deals lower than the price cap - and as things stand these are the cheapest options for many.

Eon Next's Pledge tariff promises to be 3% below whatever the price cap is for a year.

There can be catches if you want to leave these fixed deals (though Octopus doesn't charge them) - so make sure you do your research.

How many people have prepay meters?

The number of prepayment meters has fallen almost 8% from the peak in 2019, but there's still more than seven million gas and electricity units in action.

In total, 195,503 prepayment meters were installed in 2023.

Are people swapping?

Uswitch has some research that says young people (18 to 34) are far more likely to go for prepay meters - 51% would consider it, compared with 5% of over-55s.

Will Owen, energy expert at Uswitch, said: "Prepayment meters have got a bad reputation among some households, but changes to the price cap mean that their default tariffs are now cheaper than standard credit meters.

"With prepayment meters, you pay for your energy before you use it, and while there are emergency provisions, it does mean it is possible to be cut off if you have not put enough money into your account. 

"This means that younger consumers and vulnerable people are at greater risk of disconnecting themselves from their energy supply when money is tight.

"Direct debits also allow consumers to spread out their costs evenly throughout the year, meaning bills won't rise significantly in the winter when energy usage is highest."

We've had a mixed mailbag of comments this week - with readers getting in touch about pensions, tipping and divorce among other things.

Following this feature on divorce costs last weekend...

...we had dozens of comments...

So many people must be trapped in abusive relationships. A loan has helped me get away - covering legal costs, paying the bills/mortgage on marital home whilst being unable to stay and finding thousands for a rental. Costs so far about £8k - only one year in and at decree nisi. H

Since broken families are ever more common why isn't the government doing something to help divorcees get back on the housing ladder like first-time buyers are? Countless thousands, despite having the income, are doomed to rent expensive family homes. Men especially! Twice Divorced Of Surrey

Trust me, it costs a whole lot more than £30k, stay away from solicitors, work through it yourself. Toby

When one party will not communicate with the other, this makes the process much more expensive. Around £80k in solicitors and barrister fees. Vbkinguk

Another story that cut through was London restaurant chain Ping Pong scrapping tips - months before new legislation will require restaurateurs to give staff 100%.

Readers don't seem impressed...

Best thing employees and customers can do is boycott them. Just goes to show what they actually think of their staff. Dave

I don't want to eat somewhere that doesn't look after its employees. Jack

I'm sure patrons and staff will vote with their feet! How disgraceful to remove tips, probably as the owners aren't getting any cut of their staff's hard work! Elijah

We've reported extensively on the rise to the state pension this month - including how, due to frozen income tax thresholds, more pensioners will be dragged into paying income tax. Chris seems to be one of those impacted...

I deferred taking my state pension for five years to hopefully boost my pension, because I happened to be the last group of people to get the old state pension. Unfortunately because of the tax band freeze any benefit from the pension uplift is being eroded every year, is this fair? Chris

And finally, on Monday we suggested a cheaper way to buy herbs and spices in the supermarket - by using the world food aisle...

We had this comment...

Best money-saving practice for herbs and spices is to source them at Asian stores - not supermarkets! Pip

Spain is planning to scrap a "golden visa" scheme that grants residency rights to foreigners who make large investments in real estate.

Ending the scheme would help make access to affordable housing "a right instead of a speculative business", Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said.

The programme awards non-EU citizens investing at least €500,000 (around £429,000) in Spanish real estate - without taking out a mortgage - a special permit, allowing them to live and work in the country for three years.

In better news for Britons who hope to live abroad, Italy is allowing non-EU citizens who can work remotely to apply for a year-long "digital nomad" visa.

There's a few salary/reference based criteria to meet - read about them here...

Labour this week tried to address questions over how it would pay for key pledges  after the Tories used their idea of scrapping the non-dom status to fund a national insurance cut.

Labour had been committed to abolishing non-dom status for years - upon gaining power they planned to use the money to fund breakfast clubs for primary school children and additional appointments in the NHS.

Shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves this week announced the party's plan to raise £5bn a year by the end of the next parliament...

• Labour said it would raise £2.6bn by closing "loopholes" in the government's non-doms plan - after certain exemptions were kept in place by Jeremy Hunt;
• Labour said the "tax gap" - the difference between the amount of money HMRC is owed and the amount it receives - had widened to £36bn in 2021-22 - £5bn more than it had been the previous year;
• To close the gap, Labour said it would invest up to £555m a year in boosting the number of compliance officers at HMRC, increasing productivity and improving the organisation's "dire" customer service;
• It would also consider requiring more tax schemes to be registered with HMRC to ensure they are legitimate, and renew the focus on offshore tax compliance.

The government responded by saying: "The Conservatives have introduced over 200 measures to clamp down on tax non-compliance and we are sticking to the plan to strengthen the economy so we can cut taxes, putting £900 in the pockets of the average worker and helping families to build a brighter future."

Shell is weighing up quitting the London Stock Exchange (LSE) for a move to New York over concerns its listing is currently "undervalued".

Chief executive Wael Sawan  told Bloomberg  that he was mulling "all options".

The British oil and gas giant is currently the largest company in the FTSE 100 index, and its departure from the LSE would be a significant blow to the UK stock market that is fighting to stay relevant.

There's been a run of bad news for the LSE over the past year or so. The world's largest building products manufacturer, CRH, moved to New York, while travel company Tui moved to Frankfurt. And despite the lobbying of numerous prime ministers, UK-based chip company Arm chose the NYSE.

UK lenders have seen a rise in defaults on mortgages and credit cards - with the trend expected to continue in the coming months, according to a survey.

A poll of banks and building societies by the Bank of England reveals lenders reported higher default rates on secured loans and unsecured lending in the three months to the end of February.

The rates for mortgages, credit cards and other loans, as well as loans to small to medium businesses, are all expected to rise in the next quarter.

The BoE carries out the survey every quarter as part of its role to maintain financial stability.

It also revealed increased demand for borrowing, with this also expected to climb during the three months to the end of May.

Karim Haji, global and UK head of financial services at KPMG, said the latest BoE data suggests "a more positive economic outlook hasn't fed through to household finances yet".

"Defaults across all unsecured lending increasing over the same three-month period indicates many people are still struggling to meet their day-to-day costs. Lenders will need to be vigilant and continue to offer support for borrowers in the interim," he said.

Poor software and bias toward making only small, sequential changes is one of the reasons economic forecasters at the Bank of England failed to predict and prepare for the cost of living crisis, brought about by high inflation, according to a "once in a generation" review.

The review announced last year was undertaken by the former head of the US central bank, known as the Fed, and said the quality of the Bank's economic expectations "deteriorated significantly in the past few years" due to out of date software and "excessive incrementalism".

Though the "unusually large forecasting errors" were said to be "probably inevitable", according to the review, conducted by Dr Ben Bernanke.

The problem was not unique to the Bank, rather something all central banks and private forecasters suffered from, it said.

After the UK airports with the worst delays were revealed earlier today (see post at 1.15pm), we've been looking at your rights.

If you're unlucky enough to get stuck at an airport due to a flight delay, you may wonder if you're entitled to any compensation.

The good news is you may be - in certain circumstances.

First, it's important to know what flights are covered by consumer law. These are: 

• Any flight leaving a UK airport
• Flights operated by a UK/EU airline arriving at a UK airport
• Flights operated by a UK airline only arriving at an EU airport

When will I be entitled to help? 

You'll qualify for support if a short-haul flight under 932 miles (1,500km) is pushed back by two hours. 

This rises to three hours for journeys up to 2,175 miles (3,500km).

For long-haul flights going any further than this, four hours or longer counts as a significant delay.

What support will I get?

Under UK law, airlines must give passengers who are affected by a delay of at least two hours:

• A reasonable amount of food and drink (usually provided in the form of vouchers)
• Refunds for the cost of two free phone calls, faxes or emails
• Accommodation for passengers stranded overnight (usually in a nearby hotel)
• Transport to a hotel - or their home

Will I get compensation?

Usually, airlines have to provide compensation if a person's flight arrives more than three hours late.

The exception to this is when there are air traffic control problems or extreme weather, as these issues aren't their fault.

If you agree to travel on a later flight, the airline is no longer obliged to offer food, drink or accommodation while you wait.

Thankfully, you are entitled to a full refund if you decide to abandon your journey after five hours of delays.

The length of your flight affects how much you are entitled to:

• Short-haul flight - £220
• Medium-haul flight - £350
• Long-haul flight - £520 if the flight arrived more than four hours late, £260 for a delay of between three to four hours

What if I'm about to travel?

Transfer passengers who end up missing a connecting flight because their first plane was delayed are entitled to a service back to their original departure point.

But things get a little more complicated for passengers on package holidays - especially if they decide not to travel on a delayed outbound flight.

The CAA's guidance says: "You may lose your holiday too, so we recommend you contact your package organiser or the airline for further information.

"If you still want to travel then your airline must get you to your destination. You might have to be patient while they rearrange transport and rebook passengers, but the law says they must get you there."

What if my flight is cancelled? 

You're entitled to a refund or replacement flight if yours is cancelled. Your rights to assistance are the same as if your flight is delayed.

If the reason for the cancellation was within the airline's control, and it was made with no more than 14 days' notice, then depending on the timings of the new flight offered you could also be entitled to compensation.

You'll be able to claim £110 and £520 depending on the length of the route and timings of the new flight.

Drivers are still feeling the strain of rising insurance premiums - but there are signs of a slowdown, according to one index.

New figures from insights firm Consumer Intelligence suggest the average quoted price of car insurance rose by 56.4% in the year to February.

This was the third-highest annual increase since its records began in 2012 - but in slightly better news for motorists, it marked a lower annual rise than the 67.2% recorded in November.

And there was only a slight rise of 0.5% when looking at the three months to February - the lowest quarterly increased since November 2021.

Drivers most commonly received a quote between £500 and £749 in February, Consumer Intelligence said. It analysed the average of the five cheapest offers from price comparison websites.

Max Thompson, the firm's insurance insight manager, said big insurance brands made "competitive movements" to reduce premiums at the start of the year.

"However, some of this was unwound in February indicating it may have been more of a tactical move than a long-term trend," he added.

Jonathan Fong, manager of general insurance policy at the Association of British Insurers, said insurers were "aware of the financial challenges customers are facing" and were working to keep prices affordable.

"Our motor premium tracker is the only collection based on the price customers pay for their policy, rather than quotes, and shows that the average motor premium increased by 25% last year to £543.

"This was largely driven by above inflation increases in the cost of repairs, thefts and replacement cars."
