    Sole trader and director of ltd company

    Great thank you. So could I bill myself as self employed for work that would not come under the ltd company? For example, ltd company is an office building, renting out serviced office spaces, could I bill myself as a self employed painter/decorator?

    NotOnTheHighStreet.com Is it any good?

    Is it just good luck getting accepted? They LOVE saying 'we reject 90% of applications' - seems a bit odd to put numbers like that out there, what if they get 100 brilliant applications, they then have to reject 90 of them because that's what they advertise.

    Employee off Sick, but interfering with work

    if she can come to work and do her job, why is she off sick? Ask her if she wants to come back to work, or if she wants to stay off. Either or, no happy medium!

    People of Liverpool & those who shop in Liverpool

    depends what type of clothes etc. you are selling. Bold Street is better for the more alternative types, Church street is more mainstream, high street chain type of shops. I personally prefer Bold Street and Liverpool ONE for the atmosphere and the variety of shops.

    setting up a supply teaching agency

    My advice is dont. My Dad has recently tried to do this, had a rediculous amount of experience and contacts, and got nowhere. The simple fact is schools dont want supply teachers. They use teachers on free lessons to cover teachers who are off sick, or they put two classes together, or a number...
