    Directors travelling abroad

    I did exactly the same for a business trip to China and used the return ticket via Thailand.

I never was questioned about the claims as I had evidence of meetings and...

    I'm a minority shareholder and have been asked to resign and give up my shares

    I seem to remember that this was what Steve Job did to the guy who helped me develop Apple. As a result, Job became a billionnaire and the other guy not. I'd try to keep my shares

    How much should I charge!

    If the course is specialised and there is little competition but a strong enough interest, you can advertise it as a 'specialist' workshop and charge a fixed fee. However, I suspect that Further education colleges already run courses on this kind of topic.

    Selling teddy bears for £10-£40 to EU after 1 July

    The delay issues are everywhere! A parcel from the UK to Republic of Ireland took 4 weeks. From Spain to Germany, 6 weeks. Not counting the number of parcels lost by courier companies or returned.... Royal Mail seems to do a better job than courier companies at the moment... And forget shipping...
