    How do Vape & phone accessory shops survive in High Street premises?

    Look at this, 7 phone repair and accessory shops on the same small (grim looking) street in Doncaster: How are they all getting enough trade?

    How do Vape & phone accessory shops survive in High Street premises?

    Sure, The Guardian did it for me.... "Hellbanianz belong to the “retail game” of the cocaine trade. They are the street dealers and enforcers of the Mafia Shqiptare, the Albanian organised criminal syndicates who, the National Crime Agency believe, are consolidating power within the UK criminal...

    How do Vape & phone accessory shops survive in High Street premises?

    Right, but the one at the end of your street is probably a legit business, with a prime location, paying high rent for the priviledge. If you wanted a front for money laundering you'd rent the cheapest old bit of old industrial land or empty used car sales lot you could find, and would actively...

    How do Vape & phone accessory shops survive in High Street premises?

    I didn't say anything about "one group of people" being the sole users. In fact the other poster said something about Albanians, I said Afghans, last time I checked those countries are in two different continents and thousands of miles apart. We all know that native people launder dirty money...

    How do Vape & phone accessory shops survive in High Street premises?

    I've worked for 3 of the UKs 6 top retail banks and in all of them there were examples of phone accessory shops and hand car washes covered in their mandatory / regulatory training modules. HSBC gave an example where one Afghan run hand car wash was claiming a turnover of £400k a year. They...

    STAFF, Trainee jobs Youngsters, Where have they gone !!

    Young people have always been lefties or liberal and it has always been the case that people become more conservative as they get old. That's nothing new. ps. If this is the state that the country gets in when the right wing win all the elections for more than a decade, then bring on the...

    As I said, I was earning £6.41 as an 18 year old in a basic admin job in 2003 with no experience, a good 120 miles away from London. That was 20 years ago. Adjusted for inflation that is £10.73 an hour. If the OP was offering £10.73 an hour he wouldn't have to limit himself to 18-20 year olds...

    Strange Business Combinations?

    Dunlop is another company with some weird combinations. Sports brand and tyre company. Saw somebody using a dunlop guitar plectrum the other day, and my daughter has some Dunlop tennis balls. Had a look for slippers on Amazon the other day, apparently they do fluffy slippers now too.

    How do Vape & phone accessory shops survive in High Street premises?

    Phone accessory shops are often money laundering fronts for black market activities and drug dealers. Unless you mean phone repair shops, in which case no shortage of custom, I've paid £80 to fix my phone screen twice in the past year and my wife once in the same period. As for vape shops, you...

    Oh right, why did youth unemployment hit records lows in 2022 then, substantially lower than at any point of the Brown-Blair government. Or did you just fancy making it up to bash young people? I swear that some people just bash young people out of jealousy and bitterness as they get older and...

    No, he's struggling for applications because he specially wants 18-20 year olds for their £6.83 minimum wage rate. If he were prepared to pay more, and subsequently invite applications from 21-67 year olds, he'd have a nice big stack of CVs to wade through.

    That's "when trained", what about now? I suspect the problem is that you specifically want an 18-20 year old because you can pay them £6.83 an hour for a couple of years. And, frankly, Tesco will give them £10.10 at 18. Its an employees market. We all know that we've got a productivity...

    EBay is Not the way to go

    So 12.8% of £4.95 is is £0.63, plus there is a 30p fixed transaction fee. I'm assuming that the other 5p is tax or something, but to make it easy lets call the selling fee £0.93. That would work out as 18.8% of your gross revenue. Only, because that 30p is fixed it becomes cheaper the higher...
