    Tesco Expanding.... again

    You seem to be quite happy to generalise about large supermarkets but not accept that local butchers are also hit and miss. I don't want to build up a rapport with my butcher or get to know them. I want to be served decent food, at a decent price, quickly. I have no idea why local...

    Should I report this to the police?

    No of course I don't think he was on the Asian business forums complaining, it was a tongue in cheek statement which I thought was blatantly obvious. I don't know whether you're lying or not - I wasn't there to hear the call was I. Are you lying? If you are then share it with the forum and...

    Should I report this to the police?

    Playing the victim is also common place. The starter of this thread decided to engage with the caller. It's not known what was said by him to the caller, it could of been a torrent of abuse and the caller is on Asian business forums complaining about a rude person in the UK. In an ideal...

    Sending out a Press Release to get Maximum Exposure!

    The press association do a considerable amount of work for newspapers. When you leaf through your copy of the Guardian (as I'm sure you do Captain Closer :)) You'll find a large % of those stories originated from the PA in some form or another. The instant football results you see scrolling...

    Most stupid cold caller ever...

    On that note, I had some chaps from unicef knock on my door earlier tonight. I answered, listened politely for a minute then told them I wasn't interested. They said thank you and went away. GRRRR, Unicef now owe me a minute of my life back. How on earth I will catch up on my day I will...

    TPS Advice
