    Why can't I think small?

    I couldn't agree more with what's been said above, thinking small to start with is ok, but building it into something bigger is how most business's work.

    Maternity Pay....

    I know there's a couple of sites which will tell you what you are entitled too, you may even be entitled to more as you and your partner are both self employed. I'm not to sure on the sites but there are also free advice services that you can call.

    .... & the nominations for Most Stupid Customer of the Day ....

    I must admit looking through all these posts had made my morning, I think some people don't function well if they don't have a good nights sleep and here's plenty of perfect examples. Also, do customers not look before walking into the store- e.g. The pet store.

    Website for selling collections n handicraft

    That's a very good list, sums up most of the sites for selling things on. I'd recommend eBay, which you already know and amazon to be the most popular but try a few different ones to up your sales.

    Thoughts on a takeaway service app?

    I agree, Just Eat is what I use all the time and I think it's pretty popular. So when it comes to making an app for takeaways I'm afraid it's already been done.

    £1 Cafe

    I think a £1 cafe is a good idea, although I agree with what's been said previously about making enough profit and ensuring you get the customers you want. If you can be certain you'll make a profit with the idea, and its good one then I don't see any problems in starting up. Good luck

    What would you do with a tax dodging scumbag?

    Just report him, I also agree with what's been mentioned above - writing a letter to him and giving him a certain amount of days. If this doesn't work then you have no other choice but to report him.

    Bouncy castle - start up

    I agree, I think before you jump into anything you should research more into how many bouncy castle hires there are in your area, also have in min the weather as its very unpredictable this year. - Good luck.
