    70 mph ON THE MOTOWAY

    Like others, i'd say it was more to do with aggressive drivers that are on the UK roads. When its dry and warm, i'll drive happily at 80 on the duel carriageways, but obviously when its wet, and cold, things are a lot dangerous and that's what most people do not realise. What caused the crash on...

    Business Startup/Grow your Business Show - 2011 - Who's Going?

    I may pop along for the free advice, can people pop along if they intend to set up in the future? Might be a bit weird for a 17 year old to be wondering around... :( On the bright side, only £18 return on the train! :)

    Help for a Teenager? Support the next generation!

    That is true, some markets are saturated, but if you have a decent USP, people will choose you over your competitors. I'm a tad older than you are, but i think you need to do things locally rather than doing eBay work. Doing services such as window cleaning, car cleaning, computer repairs, dog...

    holiday entitlement - does it roll over?

    I'm pretty sure it varies from job to job. Some local businesses may let it roll over into the next year but i'm sure larger organisations wouldn't.

    Barriers and difficulties for small businesses and startups; Your Opinions

    Hardest thing for me would be actually going out there and selling, starting up a website etc. I'd say its hard to get yourself heard for the first time, and getting the first sale, especially someone my age who is passionate, but is trying to make money between full time education.

    Car Insurance Trebled Unfairly-Is there anything I can do?

    That's women for you i'm afraid! Annoys me that new female drivers can get insured for under £1000. What i paid was pretty good for mine because i drove my car fresh out of the showroom :P Yeah true! Mine was £7500 when i got mine, now it's worth £5500 probably.

    Car Insurance Trebled Unfairly-Is there anything I can do?

    Your right, insurance companies are out there to mug you off! My dad owns an Audi A8 4.2 and a BMW 335D, probably the fastest diesel you'll probably find right now, and on his business policy it costs him £500 to insure both! And i'm paying £1800 for a 1.2 fox. An Audi S3 is a beautiful car! And...

    Computer for friends, which one to get?

    If she doesn't mind the wires, you can build a decent quad core with 4GB RAM and 1GB Graphics for £300 odd, then a decent monitor you can pick up for £150. Not bad tbh, mines custom built by myself but it does the job :)

    Car Insurance Trebled Unfairly-Is there anything I can do?

    You own an RS5? Nice car! Sure wouldn't mind having one of those right now! I'm almost 18 and my insurance is due for renewal next month. I currently own a 1.2 fox but i've been quoted £800 on a fiesta zetec S, which is good considering i pay £1800 at the moment :/ Blame it on the uninsured...

    How is your bank treating you?

    LLoyds TSB have been fine for me, provided us with a £500,000 loan a while back, pretty much paid that back now.
