    Postage: First vs second class

    I agree 1st class is a must for a professional cart & service. If your checkout allows it, you could always give you customers a DISCOUNT for 2nd class ;)

    Chinese Lanterns

    Has anybody heard of any potential legal problems selling these? My supplier is a reputable UK based company. They are age restricted to 18 and have a huge disclaimer on the back (Don't set off near airports, no more than 5mph winds etc) The market for them is huge at the moment. When used...

    O/T: Housing Boom/Bust

    I don't think that is the case :( I have received conflicting information from HMRC and on the boards. HMRC told me on one occasion they will take the details but they won't 'follow it up' (basically just give them a nudge) One another occasion HMRC told me its a 'civil' matter and if they...

    Rufused VAT receipt?

    Does anybody know why you can't issue a VAT receipt 30 days after the tax point? I have around £2,500 worth of receipts from a supplier who just ignores me completely, and I'm still trying to get VAT receipts from May-Aug.

    O/T: Housing Boom/Bust

    I'm worried about a dead cat's bounce at the moment, I don't think housing is affordable still, especially with all this unemployment? Perhaps the banks are not completely stupid (:p), keeping ltv's around 75% as they fear a further drop and don't want more neg equity buyers The theory...

    I can see lenders bringing back 95% 100% eventually, Do you think we will ever return to the treasured 3.5x earnings?
