    Is Retail Dead Now?

    Lol that reminded me of visiting Harrogate in the late 2000's and being amazed at a town that could support two Aga showrooms and a Rayburn showroom (or something like that). I felt very out of place

    Is Retail Dead Now?

    I am not sure if this is relevant or indicative of anything but Banks don't seem to be able to make the High Street work for them either. Possibly because it was all service costs and no longer generating new sales compared to setting up accounts online. Councils in GB may have a certain...

    Some financial advice, please - ISAs, First Homes Scheme, Premium Bonds

    The 25% instant uplift of the Lifetime ISA is hard to walk past. That's all your income tax back, nice. Trading 212 does a Cash ISA at 4.9% variable at the minute which you can take money in and out of during the year without affecting your £20k limit (or £15k limit in your friends case with...

    Start up loan for van.

    Yep, gone mental over the past few years. I have worked across UK and Ireland on wind farm jobs where 4x4 are needed and in 2023 one of the supervisors had maxed out his £8500 limit in the ROI just on jeep rental. Short term leasing in different areas can really vary. As can long term. There...

    Start up loan for van.

    Try lease loco to give you a screen-scraper of leasing deals around the UK as a starting point. Prices are mental and like Jeremy says , made of cheese. Leaseloco

    Thought for the weekend

    Voip, landlines, regional numbers, where do you start?

    Your a cool dude/dudette thanks for the quick and friendly support. Appreciate it. Had a quick glance at the website and see there are adapter options so you can use a normal landline phone with your router. That's pretty useful. Do you pay for things like voicemail to email on top of the £2...

    Voip, landlines, regional numbers, where do you start?

    Thanks for the reply Faevilangel. £90 for a desk phone seems dear but then again I don't know what I'm talking about. Free software sounds....well Free. Which is always a plus. I take it your PC has to be on all day to receive calls unless you have a divert on the number as you suggest. I...
