ello and welcome to the first BKU of 2026! For the first time in a while I’m writing this in the same


moment as you’re reading it. I don’t mean this is a live chat (one of our service professionals will be with you shortly – please continue to hold). No, what I mean is that I’m not writing this a month before Christmas, pretending it’s already happened (like those ‘Christmas Specials’ you see on TV where everyone is wearing jolly jumpers and pulling crackers even though it’s clearly July out the window). Anyway, I’m writing to you from 2026, which is where you are
