    Charlie Hebdo

    Well considering how mild my post was relative to other posts in this thread, it is beyond moderation and is censorship - someone wants this thread to read a certain way!

    Charlie Hebdo

    Well that's a strange one, my post immediately after empip has been removed, anyone care to explain why? or point me in the direction of why? is empip a mod and removes whatever he/she doesn't agree with? Genuinely puzzled!

    steaming off a plaster skim

    I was recently steaming off some wallpaper and got the impression the steamer was in fact lifting the 3mm plaster skim. Is this a known problem? Bit of a pain when you have a lot of reskimming to to when you only wanted to repaper.

    Concrete floor

    Well the floor was never fitted properly 15 years ago, the builder ran out of cosh and just threw down some gravel and covered it with visqueen, ran some mortar around the perimeter and dropped some 4X2s on it then chipboard flooring (it is dry). It's been sinking for about 10 years (about 1"...

    Concrete floor

    I am planning to fit a concrete floor in a single basement room of my house (the existing floor is incorrectly done). I thought I had the jist of what was required with a sizeable layer of compacted hardcore under about 100mm of reinforced concrete. However one of the builders I have asked to...

    Advertising your business

    "previous customers - no loyalty will go elsewhere to save a quid!" I totally disagree with that statement. Do a good job with good customer service and you will build a business which will grow and grow. Very few people will ditch a good service at a reasonable price for a few quid less.

    Google ads

    Quite interesting, I do well with google without paying, but realise this is a transition period, and eventually to get noticed I will have to spend. I guess by that time the amount of spend will have gone up because of the competitive nature of this type of advertising, and the diminishing...

    Driving Habits.

    People who use mirror-signal-manouvre and expect, as a right, for you (and all the people behind you) to slam on the brakes to let them do whatever they intended.

    taking card payment

    Thanks for the help all, and the suggestions. Have decided to go with cardsave with a mobile terminal @ £30/month. Hopefully this will pay for itself by reducing the time & effort spent on sending invoices, reminders, reminders, reminders, court paperwork, etc, and it should help reduce my...

    taking card payment

    Due to the customer trends and requests it looks as if I need to start taking payment by credit/debit card. Having had a look at a couple of offerings, trying to work out the cost is tricky. One major player Elavon would cost me about £50 per month including the mobile terminal rental and...

    Lavender

    Tried to grow some from seed, germinated ok, but couldn't keep them alive. I've now ordered plug plants but received a note today that they will be sent in September. Is June a bad month forplanting them? or does the company selling them not have any?

    Collecting card payments

    the chip and pin would be helpful but in six years of five jobs a day I've only had one cheque bounce...its the ones who can't find their cheque book on the day that tend to require some of my time chasing their payment

    Collecting card payments

    I was looking at using the mobile phone option at £10/month plus charges, and yes there are merchant account fees to be paid on top of this. I've never wanted to take card payments precisely because of these payments, but there is a certain momentum within commerce where cards are tipping the...
