    New employee keeps making mistakes which is costing us... But may have dyslexia

    As BusterDogs said, everyone is different. Find out what your employee is finding difficult and see if there are ways that it can be made easier. Sometimes it can be down to making a simple change or explaining something in a different way. There are companies that can help with autism...

    Do you use Skype for business?

    I do hypnotherapy sessions with people over Skype because it's much easier if we can both see each other.

    "Wales and West Region" - How does that work?

    I think the Wales and West TV region was originally set up as a way of distributing advertising revenue more evenly round the regions, though each region operated individually in terms of programming.

    Sushi - Love it or hate it?

    I love sushi - both fish and veg varieties but have only found good stuff in restaurants. It appears more in supermarkets now in larger towns and last time I was at Temple Meads you could get it there but I don't find any of those that tasty. The rice just isn't right. If I could have good...

    Strange Email

    If I'm ever suspicious that an email is spam but want to make sure then I reply to it from a hotmail/gmail address that is set up specifically for that purpose.

    Recruitment of older person

    Try advertising on Gumtree or put a card in the local newsagent's window. Word of mouth can be helpful and if the shop owner knows who you are looking for they may well know who would be interested and can tell them about it. It's a traditional way of networking :-)
