    VAT decrease - benefit to who?

    Let's not even start on the baby dairy product market! Constantly playing and declaring 'the race card' in this country is gradually rendering it ineffectual.. thank God! Chinese goods are cheaper and generally of poorer quality (I wont even start on software development!). Nothing racist...

    good idea no money

    Hi, First thing I would recommend is to list the benefits that your solution will bring to an organisation. Identify the problems it solves, things it does better, potential cost savings etc. Doesn't matter how cool the software is if it doesn't meet a genuine business need. Then I...

    Price of petrol has dropped more than 50%

    It is cheaper due to deflation and is not good news for anyone who doesn't hold a lot of a cash.

    Child labour ?

    Why do you find that suprising? Surely you are always going to get differing opinion regarding law - unless we are a nation of robots!

    Child labour ?

    For fear of repeating myself (as seems to be the norm for this thread), as far as I see it you have coveted opinion, as was your original purpose. You seem to have an issue in that noone is as indignant about this situation as you are and the constant reiteration of the same points does make it...

    Child labour ?

    For some reason that question is continuously ignored, despite being asked at least 3 times now! It's easy to have strong convictions within the safe anonimity offered by a keyboard and screen!

    Child labour ?

    I know - I lived there for several years, my wife is Chinese, my Son is half Chinese! At this point I am going to discontinue contributing to this thread on the basis that arguing for the sake of it is a waste of time. If you believe strongly enough then I guess you will do something about it...

    Child labour ?

    I absolutely agree that it's unacceptable to exploit children for greed - but nothing you have said has convinced me that is the case. If it concerns you so much, have you thought about going round and speaking to the owners and expressing your views? If it doesn't concern you enough to have...

    Child labour ?

    There is a very big difference between being forced to work in a sweat shop to earn food for your family and spending time outside with animals you love, getting exercise, meeting friends and learning new skills. I think we do work to a different moral code because I know I'd rather my 9 year...

    Child labour ?

    What a sad reflection on todays society that even a child's passion for a given hobby needs to have a monetary value. If they want to be with the horses and are prepared to give a bit in terms of commitment, hard work and discipline then frankly I think the owners should be commended for giving...

    Your help... Should I accept shares in th Ltd company I work for

    I would recommend looking at the tax implications. In my case it was better to get options through an EMI schema as it reduced my eventual tax liability from 40% to 18%. I believe if you are 'given' shares then you might end up paying tax twice, once as a taxable benefit, then again on the...

    Do you want to know how much time you spend working on a project?

    Thanks. Nice simple solution that you've saved us developing ourselves (which we would have never got round to). I suspect at this stage you may be looking for ideas re: future enhancements, so my top 1 would be: * Customizable columns. It would be more useful to me if I could define...

    Trying to develop car insurance comparison site - need help

    Different audience, different document! Trim it down to focus on key findings and your company's analysis of those findings. Back it up with a bit of info as to why you undertook the survey in the first place and why you feel you are qualified to draw conclusions from the results. Identify...

    Trying to develop car insurance comparison site - need help

    That is where your entrepreneurial skills come to play. If you can add value above and beyond what the existing sites offer then you need to convince the relevant people that is the case. You say you have done a survey? Get on the phone to these companies, explain you have undertaken a survey...
