Sleep on it

With times so hard it would be no surprise if brokers are suffering sleepless nights.
It’s hard to switch off after a tough day at the office and when you’ve tried sleeping pills and herbal remedies and nothing works, what’s left?
Well, you could try the foolproof cure for insomnia sweeping the mortgage sector - listening to John Gummer’s speeches.
Following this year’s Association of Finance Brokers dinner where the burger-loving MP gave a speech that managed to make more than one member of the audience nod off, Gummer was at it again at last week’s Association of Independent Financial Advisers dinner.
His speech - which bore more than a passing resemblance to his effort the year before - left one female broker catching 40 winks at the table. Mole thinks if Gummer could bottle the stuff he’d make a fortune.
