    Can we have another strike please?

    My sister is a teacher, and along with her colleagues she hired a bus to take them all to the Meadowhall shopping centre for the day.

    local news

    Doodles offers some good advice about the sort of thing you should be looking to do. I have had a look at the press releases on your website, and they come across very much as a sales /advertising pitch. Start to think about what the readers of the newspaper would be interested to read about...

    How to be different in my business industry

    You have been offered some good advice here. I agree with the others about having a cheap price - it does give people an impression either that you are not very good or alternatively that you are desperate for business. You should also, as well as some of the direct sales ideas that have...

    Does healing mean no money?

    CJD offers good advice - don't get disheartened, but start to plan how you can eventually increase your income. I have a friend who is currently coming to the end of a similar course to you. One of the conditions of the course is that at the end she has to spend two years working for the NHS...

    Watchdog BBC Pontins

    I didn't see the programme, but thaks to the OP for starting this thread. I do media training, and having just watched the programme on Iplayer, I have another good example of how not to do it!!!

    Ideas for a press release?

    With Christmas coming up, you may like to consider doing something linked to that. Maybe a survey that X% of families are dreading the bills associated with Christmas this year, or the average family is planning to spend £xxx on Christmas this year. Both topics that will be of interest, and...

    T-Shirt Business as a sideline

    Great designs - I think you could probably charge a premium if you sold them at the right place. Be very careful of the copyright issues though - I recently investigated making changes to some photos from the 1966 World Cup Final, and the venture failed because of the very high costs that were...

    Geography homework help...

    First of all, shouldn't your Son be doing his geography homework, rather than getting you to do it? The reason that it is colder the higher you go is because of how the air is warmed. Solar radiation penetrates the atmosphere and heats the earth's surface. The earth then re-radiates this energy...

    Convicted London rioters should loose all benefits.

    Fair enough. But what about someone with a job who gets convicted and then as a result of that conviction loses their job? Does that also controvene their human rights, and so should employers be prevented from taking any further action against employees convicted of crimes?

    Ed Miliband

    Fair point, cut MPs salary by half and use the money to 'create' jobs - I can see a load more pointless public sector positions being created. Of course, it could also further deter good people seeking to become an MP - after all a salary of £30,000 is only about the average salary in London...

    Ed Miliband

    I don't think you can equate an MP with a looter. Yes, there are some who come from very priviledged backgrounds. But the idea that most come from some sort of inherited 'wealth', and that they are cut off from society is very wrong. I'd suggest that most have a better idea of the 'real...

    rioters in london make me sick

    Which is why the prison system needs to be reformed. Firstly, when you go to prison, you go for a long time (rather than a couple of weeks), disrupting your place in your social groups. And when you get there, it is a sufficiently grim experience that regardless of any social cachet attached...

    Ed Miliband

    Kate, Isn't the whole point of a democracy that we should be represented by the people who we elect, rather than people who have less than a certain amount in the bank? Where do you draw the line - should it be someone with assets of greater than £1million? £500,000? £50,000? Maybe people...

    rioters in london make me sick

    Beachcomber is right - what is needed is a return to the personal responsibility and morality that has been eroded by the rise of political correctness over the last 30 years. This has seen the rule of law gradually breakdown, as people stop fearing punishment. Cameron was talking yesterday...

    newspaper distribution - would this work?

    Hello I'm sorry, but I am going to have to join in the general tone of negativity about your idea. My parents ran a chain of newsagents shops, but closed the last one about 10 years ago, but even then they realised that it was a dying trade. There are several problems that you are going to...
