    Which retailer do you most admire?

    Of course your "take that away from them, and you'll set them back years" comment compares taking advantage of them by paying a brutally low wage with not giving them anything at all, which isn't a fair assessment. There are alternatives - a radical expansion in microfinance would be a more...

    I searching investor to my business. 50K

    OK, I'm in. Will you accept used fivers sent in a cardboard box?

    Cafe premises...

    Evening chaps, I'm part of a co-operative who are considering setting up a cafe/bar. I'm in the early stages of drawing up a business plan so I'm looking for information on getting hold of premises. I understand the possible complications with getting a change of usage - the thing I'm finding...

    You give more, you get more!

    Aye, but "millionpoundhomepage" sounds rubbish.

    Getting a loan to start a business...

    Heh, I think in some cases I just wasn't expressing myself clearly. That's all I needed to know. Like I say, I've drawn up a business plan before (for a slightly different loan which wasn't from a bank) so I'm comfortable enough, but I just wanted to know that it was this that would make the...

    Getting a loan to start a business...

    Hmmm. Well having looked at my credit report, I'm 100% convinced that the reason my credit rating is so low is simply because of the fact that I've changed addresses so often. There are no defaults or late payments so I can only assume it's because I've moved around the country and...

    Getting a loan to start a business...

    It's a while since I've posted on here! I was just wondering about what kind of things a bank would need to see or know before they would agree to give you a loan. I've got what I think is a very viable business plan but would need around £14,000 to get it off the ground. I unfortunately...

    2.64 Million people in the UK unable to work!!!

    Because working minimum wage is horrific and I'd rather pay a proportion of my own (minimum wage at the moment) earnings every week than see others have to go through it. It's not as if most of the people claiming benefits are doing so to escape from a working market where they're respected and...

    2.64 Million people in the UK unable to work!!!

    Meh. I've always thought fair enough. If they're going to bed happy every day then that's something a lot of people don't have. Working for working's sake is stupid; if it doesn't make you happier then why not just kick back and claim whatever the state will give you? (If anyone's...

    Writing a manual like Mc Donalds.

    I haven't got time to read the whole thread, but in response to the initial post: Have you ever worked in McDonalds? I did three shifts there over the summer before getting disgusted with everything about the place and leaving. Their 'manual' is the most ridiculous piece of self-aggrandising...

    UKBF Community Anarchy ?

    Using the word anarchy in a pejorative sense makes me sad. :( Seriously, though, I've been on a lot of forums in my time and this is certainly one of the best ones when it comes to spam and aggression. It's also one of the largest. This kind of this is completely unavoidable; all you've got...

    ...really going back to basics here but...

    I don't know. It could be a badge of honour; you could have a 'top ten' list of your most prolific customers on the website. Plenty of bragging rights down the pub: "I broke the top three on dial-a-johnny" etc. Maybe sell t-shirts to that effect. :D

    Online source for getting a PO Box?

    "PO Box Birmingham" is one of those annoying phrases to type in on Google because I keep on getting sites for companies with a PO Box address. "PO Box Rental Birmingham" just gives me a load of rental companies with PO boxes. Is there a decent company anyone can recommend that might be able to...

    ...really going back to basics here but...

    Fantastic idea. The SU/Guild would almost certainly be falling over themselves to give you some free advertising in freshers' packs too.
