Suzuki is officially the UK’s most reliable car brand! 🏆🚗

The latest What Car? Reliability Survey 2026 has ranked Suzuki No.1, with an impressive reliability score of 97.8%.

It's easy to see why so many drivers keep coming back to Suzuki. The Swift, Vitara and S-Cross all scored highly, with the Swift achieving a perfect reliability score.

Even better, only a small number of owners reported any faults, and most issues were minor, fixed quickly, and at no cost to the customer.

If you're looking for a car that's built to last, Suzuki continues to prove it's one of the safest bets on the road. 🙌

Gherkins Will Be Cheaper!!
Well, we all waited with bated breath for the Budget, and now we can celebrate the fact that gherkins, garlic, jam, marmalade, toffee and boiled sweets will attract less import tariff and should become a little cheaper.

That is really going to make a massive difference... or will it?

Surely all this does is make home-grown and home-made products less competitive, making it harder for UK producers and growers to compete. If we genuinely want to grow the UK economy, surely we need more producers here in the UK?

Reducing the tax on importing gherkins and toffee doesn't sound like something that's going to transform the prospects of the average UK citizen or radically boost the economy. If we reduced costs for UK producers selling into the UK market, perhaps we wouldn't need to import quite so many foreign boiled sweets, and I'm fairly sure we can make plenty of excellent jam right here at home.

Wouldn't it be better to support British jobs, British growers and British manufacturers, rather than simply making imports a little cheaper?

Perhaps I am living in a parallel universe, because it just doesn't make much sense to me. However, I have no doubt some kind and knowledgeable readers will put me right if I've missed the bigger picture.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't!
We seem to be living in a world where, no matter what you do, you can't do right. I'm not sure we've ever had such totally opposing views on what is right, whether it's drilling for oil and gas, spending money or increasing taxes, locking criminals up for longer or releasing them earlier, so I do have some sympathy for our decision-makers.

But I live in the real world, not in an ideology, and in business, when times are tough, you have to make difficult decisions. The basis for those decisions is to preserve the future and success of the business for the majority, and to focus on those who actually create the wealth and success. In those circumstances, the luxuries of extra support staff, who make life easier for everyone, are usually the first to suffer.

You can't build a house without a builder, or mend a car without a technician, but you can cut costs and keep going until the good times return, if you have a plan.
The big difference in business is that we have to survive financially and generate enough income to cover our costs. We can't simply increase the price or borrow more, it doesn't work like that. And in business, it's our money, not other people's, which tends to focus the mind.
