    packaging problems

    It's good. It's just as good as they say. Fantastic easy, quick and enjoyable to use once you get the hang of it. BUT - an unforeseen problem - finding the right stretch wrap isn't as easy as I thought. So I've now got a couple of rolls that aren't as thick as I've liked. Eventually I'll get...

    Is Google really this clever (scary) or is it just coincidence?

    It's scary - I've developed selective noticing. I no longer see ads. Really - they're just outside the attention radar! How am I meant to know how to advertise my goods when this actually happens to me? It's gotta be happening to others too. :(

    Am i stealing? what would you do?

    I shall weep tonight for Tesco -I hope that £30 doesn't tip the balance and send them under. My understanding is that God becomes unhappy at the majority of dishonest incidents. Not a desirable result, groceries or no groceries. I'm not a big fan of Tesco. I'm so confused ... :|

    Stopped cheque what to do next

    It seems to me the nicer you are the more people try to take advantage of you. I have a relative who's a really good builder. Not so great at business though, charges too little and is always out on sympathy calls to the aged and infirm. The general public interpret this as a sign of...

    Why do people in home business opportunities get a hard time on here?

    I'm not one to step on dreams but come on the catalogues and marketing materials are not supplied at cost to mlm agents. I think they're making a good bit of money from selling a dream to vulnerable people, never mind what they make from the product. I don't like the idea of people being put...

    packaging problems

    :| I think you've posted in the wrong place - algorithms? If you click on the little blue underlined 'UK Business Forums' then - -you'll see a list of different sections you can enter. Pick the one which most looks like it may contain people who can help (probably finance or IT - mathy folk I...

    Question for Patent Attorneys - Or an inventor who has used one

    I think the idea of a patent attorney is to try and make the patent as hard to break as possible. :) I've been told the actual function of a patent attorney is to try and extract as much money from the inventor as possible.:eek: Perhaps I shouldn't listen to rumours ...

    packaging problems

    Well, it's here - arrived this morning. NICE bit of kit, I gave it a very quick tryout (it'll be two weeks before I have leisure time to really explore, but it worked like charm right away! The guy put in a converter to sort the power difference for a small extra charge, so no probs there. I...

    Best method of getting smallish amount of stock from France?

    No worries, I got a look at the food regs first. They're already being shipped over - it's just that I'm pretty sure I'm going to keep on wanting them, I reckon they'll do well over here. I make my own stuff and retail it myself so I've no experience of buying except for packaging etc, and...

    Best method of getting smallish amount of stock from France?

    I'm asking because although I'm going with the postage this time I believe I will want more because, yes, these are for resale (and me, definitely meeeee :D ) What I'll do is gather all the information from this lot and then get back to you to see if you can help, yes? Unfortunately no :(

    Best method of getting smallish amount of stock from France?

    Can anyone advise please? I found some pickles in France that I (inexplicably) really want, I had a lot of problems getting them and the postage is an absolute killer. I can't possibly go fetch them either. They're irresistible to me, mid life crisis, pmt, who knows why, but I'm having...
