It just goes to show with some hard work and a darned good web man what can be achieved in no time at all. I'm still well down when searched for generally, but on specifics I can fill an entire page on googles.

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone concerned. You're all stars.

Whilst I do not claim any credit for the following it reminds me of many call centres that have phoned me over the years. If just one person has never heard of this alleged story then it was worth posting...It often enters my thoughts.

The following is a telephone exchange between a hotel guest and room-service, at a hotel in Asia , which was recorded and published in the Far East Economic Review (huh, allergically [can't spell the other))

Oh go on then Steve, I'll chomp at the bit! As you know I have only just gone back to private practice since redundancy and have done all that I can to register with free and some paid advertising. Gets first page results.

Since a week ago I have maybe taken 20 calls from advertising peeps and of course the usual...

"Will you help the Fire Brigade out by adverting on this years candelar? "

"Go on then...why not?"

"We have just one place left for a H&S Consultant and it will be

In our industry at the very core is the health and Safety at Work Act 1974. Contained within among many others is section 7. It shall be the duty of every employee while at work

* (A) to take reasonable care for the health and safety of himself and of other persons who may be affected by his acts or omissions at work; and
* (B) as regards any duty or requirement imposed on his employer or any other person by or under any of the relevant statutory provisions, to co-operate with him so far as is necessary to enable that duty or requirement to be performed or complied with.

This one does not come up often as far as prosecutions are concerned.

Stavros, that explains it then and it is not just my wind-up compute that gets this problem. I wonder why they don't fix this pronto? It does get frustrating.

Especially as they can't run their own (or ours should I say?). No way Jose, I wouldn't let em within a hundred miles

Gabberflasted I am.

Yes must admit Steve, I do like MFF, works well with my upgraded half a gig of RAM. pees me off sometimes when I shut it and go to open it again and I get the darned error message telling me a browser is still open or similar and I have to wait a minute or two.

i use IE when going into MS office online cos it hates MFF. tried Chrome but found it didn't offer much more. No, must admit I am indeed a MFF convert.

Hi Paula

My forts then for what they are worth.

Speaking to the guys her about tinternet and all that the long co.uk name you mentioned is just that...LONG. i didn't realise it s what is on the site that gets picked up so you could even get away with your initials say..mnid.co.uk (id being interior design) if twere available that is.

Names of company then? I have never liked (and it is just that, me) a Christian name followed by the company name. I find it a little trite and bland.

Far better (IMO) to use a full name. (assume surname is say...'princess')

Paula-Princess Interior Design Co. works better I feel.

Just my twittering thoughts on your question:-)
