I very rarely write or post letters nowadays, occasionally I'll send one to HMRC pleading poverty or something, but everything I write goes via email. I think last year I bought around 5 stamps if that, it's just something that I no longer have a need for. I think anyone who invests in the Post Office shares is going to be very brave indeed....

Well I've just take a look at their site, not really sure what to make of it though. Just checked out to see if any of my competitors in London are on it and there isn't. Just a few that are all newbies to the game.
Then I went to the home page and this kind of summed it up for me.
The last time BT Tradespace, tweeted anything was in February 2012.
The last time they wrote anything on their blog was in 2011, in fact the last time anything was written by BT was in 2011.
The only active discussion I can see going on, is clients asking how do they close their accounts.
If BT Tradespace cant be bothered with their own site, I'm not sure why anyone would want to advertise with them.....
You also have to ask yourself, when was the last time you visited the BT Tradespace site looking for a particular service? The answer is probably the same as 99.999% of the UK population.......Never!

I'd be tempted to go back to Tesco's purchase a

Well the UK & USA love a conflict, I cannot in my lifetime remember a year when we wasn't fighting somewhere in the world. So we'll probably go in regardless of what evidence is produced, whether we should or not is difficult to say, when you see dead children on mass lying in the street it's difficult to say we should stay out of it. But the innocent and children will always be caught up in wars, both the UK & USA should know this as over the years they've killed plenty of innocent people, which is normally reported as being caught up in the crossfire and being no more than an accident.
I think it is now time for the UK to take a step back from other countries problems after all it has nothing to do with us as a country. Secondly this country is making many of the forces redundant, through cut backs, we've got people out in Afghanistan, Gibraltar, Falklands and other distant places, we've got little in terms of warships, I'm not sure about the state of the air force apart from us having a red arrows display team so I'm guessing that as a country we're pretty exposed defense wise currently.
I also believe that if intervention into another country's civil war zone for humanitarian reasons is unavoidable then it should only be done under the banner of the United Nations and not another country trying to force it's will onto others.
My other main issue is, it's easy for our politicians from both the UK & USA to send youngsters aged 18-20 into war zones and then declare them 'heroes' when they come back having lost limbs or in body bags, but it is never the politician who has lost an arm or his legs....

Similar thing happened to me, parked across 2 bays in a B & Q car park, run by UKPC, got a ticket for

I think you'll find people will turn to Google when searching for services long before they will turn to Yell, I get around 50% computers, 30% tablets 20% smart phones via the ppc

Well that's several cold calls a year I'll no longer be getting
The trouble is with these directories, is nobody wants them anymore and they are classed as being nothing more than junk mail landing on your doorstep. I very rarely see either a Thomson or Yell directory in peoples properties these days, so for me there is no point in advertising in them. They use to make really good door wedges, but now they are so thin (probably due to lack of advertisers) there not much cop for that either.
Personally I think they should have ditched the directories 10 years ago and just concentrated on the internet..

I didn't see many pushbikes in the video, I wonder why?

Sorry you'll never convince me, when conventional central heating first started to be installed in the UK back in the late 60s / 70s the heating system generally lasted the customer 20 - 30 years including the boiler. In fact occasionally I still come across these and advice the customer to keep it. New modern condensing boilers roughly last around between 8 - 10 years, they will only condense at a certain temperature range and although they are more efficient than boilers old, the cost to replace them and the cost to the environment of manufacturing them makes it a bit of a mockery of both savings to the end user and to the environment. If the 2 largest countries on the planet are polluting the earth regardless of what we are doing then I fail to see how this is going to have any effect on the environment. The end product may well be seen as being green and dandy, but making it in the first place certainly isn't. I think as a customer I would rather pay for a product that will last me 20 - 30 years rather than having to replace the same thing 3 times over the same period of time at an over inflated price.
There is a lot of scaremongering about the imminent demise of the planet earth, makes you wonder whatever caused the last ice age, the planet is a living object floating around a universe that is forever changing, that's why the Uk was at one time joined to the rest of mainland Europe at one time, same reason animals come and go... Evolution and you cant really tax that but this government seems to be having a good old bash at it... The planet will still be here in a million years time, although I wont be...

Never read an ebay or online book, I come on this forum for all my entertainment needs
