Have been receiving his weekly email for years...and have actually saved money as per info on weekly emails with bank switching etc..and a member of Forum,. Now he is a guest presenter on Good Morning TV on Monday mornings and I don't particularly like all the presenters and with the ad breaks switch off...I know he has also done half hour shows to help people with a lots of concerns and questions..do many GNs follow his advice?

I do sometimes Bea. Like you I receive his emails.

Blossoming was encouraged to have "the unpleasant issues chat' about the demise of a loved one and what to do... I saw this few months ago and feel he does offer straightforward advice to people with a myriad of issues.

I get his emails and have acted on some of his advice. I don’t watch Good Morning so have no comment on that.

As Jaxjacky said.
He is right up to date and gives genuine advice.

I agree, he obviously cannot say anything but I am certain like me he would like to give each member of the financial bunch in the Government a single ticket to the country of their choice.
He has helped many.

DH follows Martin Lewis so I don't have to - bit confusing for me a bear of very little brain when it comes to numbers.

Redhead56 Wed 12-Oct-22 19:12:12

I have followed his advice on quite a few occasions because I have received emails for a number of years. I don’t watch morning tv so I won’t comment on it.

He is too wordy for me but I certainly follow his written advice and have used it very much to my advantage.

I really value his advice, and having seen his latest bulletin on line, my DH and I will be doing some tough talking about revising our wills and also Power of Attorney. Martin's knowledge and sheer common sense isn't difficult to understand, and can be a good way to make savings.

I'm a great fan, but I don't watch him on TV.

He is so knowledgeable and is rarely wrong. On TV appearances I particularly like that when he does not know he admits it and offers to follow it up.

Georgesgran Thu 20-Oct-22 09:53:34

I’m a fan too - lots of logical advice, although I’m pretty clued up on some things, so he often confirms I’ve done the right thing. (Sigh of relief)
I do like him when he says he genuinely doesn’t know the answer - especially regarding the current situation re. Mortgage rates and energy prices.

My husband is the same as you Georgesgran. He's very clued up on all things financial. He's always chopping and changing providers for everything. He does listen to Martin. He took his advice from his show this week on adjusting the boiler somehow.

I get his emails and often check his site and have followed his advice on occasions. I think he's very knowledgeable and I trust him, but I find him difficult to watch as he gets quite passionate and a bit shouty which can make me feel agitated. I don't watch This Morning so maybe he's calmer on that programme.
