Place: The hottest (and smallest) table in town reviewed by Trader - Dinings

Big is beautiful? Not these days. Super-sized and super-charged have become faux-pas in polite society. Dinings looks to Kylie, the Smart car and i-Pod Nano for its inspiration: pint-sized, cute and minimal. And the food is great if you can squeeze yourself in.

Carver One

Initially, I reacted against the leaning of the Carver One and tried to counter it by adjusting my steering inputs, which left me wobbling down the road, rattling from side to side in a most ungainly manner.

Fractional Life

Fractional Boats & Yachts

Owning a yacht is far from a practical proposition, with a high buy-in cost, increasing annual costs and a depreciating asset that remains unused for much of the year being some of the major stumbling blocks. But I, and many others like me, still want one.

Property & Private Destination Clubs

Fractional ownership within the property sector is booming at present. Simply because so many people would like holiday homes, but don’t want the hassle and expense of owning a place they can only use a few weeks at a time.

Forex Report

FX Report

The event of the week will be the US retail sales report and even though logically, consumer spending should falter, it may not be as bad as the market expects. In addition to the retail sales report, we are also expecting consumer prices, the Philly Fed survey, industrial production, and housing starts.

FX Report

Developments in credit markets are likely to remain the main influence on financial markets this week, with first quarter corporate earnings and trading statements again a key theme. There is also the possibility that the UK Treasury may announce new measures to help ease the funding strains facing banks. Another strong performance by equities could see bond prices fall further, pushing yields and swap rates to fresh 2008 highs.
