It looks interesting, your website sems to be aligned with ISO parameters, i.e. targets, roles, achievements.
How many people work for you, where are your premises, what size are you, what is your turnover, what type of experience or qualifications do you or your fellow directors have in this field. I think a lot of this is missing from your website incl pictures, price range etc.
Sorry, its only my opinion but if you have something that's good, then tell everyone. |

Monty, you're as funny as my Auntie Sharon in the following story;
The Moral of Auntie Sharon
A teacher gave her class of 11 year olds an assignment: To get their parent to tell them a story with a moral at the end of it.
The next day the kids came back and one by one began to tell their stories.
Ashley said, 'My father's a farmer and we have a lot of egg-laying hens. One time we were taking our eggs to market in a basket on the front seat of the car when we hit a big bump in the road and all the eggs got broken.'
'What's the moral of that story?' asked the teacher. 'Don't put all your eggs in one basket!'
'Very good,' said the teacher.
Next little Sarah raised her hand and said, 'Our family are farmers too. But we raise chickens for the meat market. One day we had a dozen eggs, but when they hatched we only got ten live chicks, and the moral to this story is, 'Don't count your chickens before they're hatched'.'
'That was a fine story Sarah.'
Michael, do you have a story to share?'
'Yes. My daddy told me this story about my Aunty Sharon. Aunty Sharon was a flight engineer on a plane in the Gulf War and her plane got hit.
She had to bail out over enemy territory and all she had was a bottle of whisky, a machine gun and a machete. She drank the whiskey on the way down so it wouldn't break and then she landed right in the middle of 100 enemy troops. She killed seventy of them with the machine gun until she ran out of bullets. Then she killed twenty more with the machete until the blade broke. And then she killed the last ten with her bare hands.'
'Good heavens,' said the horrified teacher, 'what kind of moral did your daddy tell you from that horrible story?'
'Stay the f ..... away from Aunty Sharon when she's been drinking.' |

A cracker
when you said what you did and that you were bored, i assumed (wrongly, obviously) that you wanted to try summit else.
i think your chances of geting something on here is fairly slim and you'd be better off looking locally
but best of luck anyway |

Well Monty, I can see that you are a man of the people, as 90% of tan shops are only used by drug pushers to launder cash, ask any policeman and video store will be gone in 2 years once SKY have undercut them again.
I was thinking of openeing a Take-away, not much around these days with all those health concious folk ! ! |

a health concious takeaway? possibilites there
tho there are all those dratted food regulations to take into account
most places are up to there armpits in takeaways
dunno what the profit margins are like
health foodies are not noted for throwing money about
at present it all depends on your need for cash, it you have money to throw about, the world is the bi-valve of your choice.
if you are looking for a start-up loan however the banks are throwing money about like a man with no arms. |
