Inappropriate language in today's newsletter

I can't believe that Martin feels that it is at all appropriate to begin today's newsletter with the following salvo of inappropriate language:

"If stores tweak your spending nipples, and make you buy unplanned things, it's a loss."

Please find a more civil & less offensive way of encouraging us to engage with your newsletter.

    It's a bizarre and inappropriate (for the audience/subject matter) to have resorted to such juvenile wording.

    It doesn't smack of "professional advisors, we know best" - sounds more like you're about to read the advice of a chirpy know it all 17 year old on the way home from school.

    I agree, totally inappropriate and reeks of double standards when a thread was pulled for having the words Butt Plug

    Well even mention of a certain Linconshire town between Doncaster and Grimsby gets censored on the forum ;)
