    Timber Mezzanine floor???

    Nope but Building Regs will be able to give general advice on what is permissible and what isn't. Based on that - then go see a Structural Engineer for any calcs that are necessary. Building Regs will have (or should have) stated what they will require.

    Really struggling to get my site viewed in search engines

    Is the inbound link strictly necessary? As a "favour" that went pear shaped I did a website about 10 weeks ago - the quid pro quo never turned up, so making sure that the chap couldn't profit from it - I left the site up as a bit of an experiment. Submitted it to Google, Analytics etc. No...

    system boiler advice

    Keston boilers seem to be getting a bit of a poor rep these days as compared to that several years ago. Having said that some of their range go way beyond 50KW - so you shouldn't have an issue get one appropriately sized.

    Domain Name Help?

    Would you buy a house, pay for it and not want to see sight of the deeds, not want a solicitor to confirm in writing that the deeds have been registered in your name and not require a copy of the deeds? If no- then why is it any different with other purchases, especially domain names for those...

    Hi and Help :(

    Not all "accountants" are the same & some are probably aren't even qualified for much. There are some fine folk on here - they should be able to give the relevant guidance. I suppose you need to distinguish - going forward - a genuine qualified accountant, as opposed to someone who does...

    Feedback on new website please!

    The use of the word myself doesn't look right. Also it's background not back ground. p.s. I don't want you to think I'm going across picky or anything - but the thing that strikes me is that in looking at such a website - if there are spelling mistakes and grammatical mistakes involving...

    Begging posts - who is the mug?

    On the whole - I have a similar approach, but one has to draw the line somewhere? Usually at parasites wanting something (usually everything) for nothing. What's worse they wouldn't do it for free - so why should we? A favour is when your car won't start in the morning & your neighbour jump...

    Banking question

    You need to sit down and work out your overheads. i.e. what's the cost to you of being in business assuming a 5-6 day week @ say 10 hrs per day. Assuming 46 weeks a year (taking holiday\sickness into account). Include wages (before tax), rent\rates & electricity, even assuming that your tools...

    Begging posts - who is the mug?

    It's just that these same people, by doing this to lots of people, seem to live a life that the rest of us work damn hard to try and achieve. I suppose the word parasite springs to mind. Along the lines of what one poster recently posted - I'm more than happy to offer advice, i.e. if 30 secs...

    Begging posts - who is the mug?

    I can not tell you how much I hate people who assume that just because you work in IT or have an IT background - that you actually give a "s h i t" about the problems their laptop\printer\PC is having. Sorry - I don't mean people who have problems and are genuinely interested in fixing them &...

    Calling all IT Managers.....

    I don't know what (the brown paper envelopes) you are talking about. ;)

    customer not recieved item.

    I find it mind boggling in this day an age with the power of hand-held devices - that instead of signing (or as well as) , "say cheese" and take a bloody picture of the person receiving the goods. You'd think someone would be offering this service by now.

    integrating a mailing list sign up form with constant contact

    The form is one thing - you seem to lacking the php (I'm assuming - you can do it with JS, but I prefer php) that actually does the validation\parsing when the Submit button is clicked. Returning one to a "thank you" page if all is successful or pointing out the relevant errors\issues. Try this...

    How to tell a UK debit card from a credit card

    You don't need to cater for them all - just perhaps exclude every BIN range apart from UK issuers. That would result in a fairly small nbr (relatively speaking). Assuming that you only send to a UK Address.
