Nice People 13: Nice Save

My kindle died the other day, and I'm wondering whether to bury it in the garden? What sort of service would it want?

Killing myself that I've booked a meeting in a congested city at 9am. Really wasn't the brightest idea. Trains from here don't run that early unfortunately

If I'm paying for parking anyway, I'd rather just drive. Probably sounds stupid, but it's the way I think.

I've been staying at the Doubletree by Hilton for my course. Only 5 mins walk from the station, in case you do end up wanting a recommendation.

Thanks Yorkie.

I'm going to risk it, I think, but I'll see how I'm feeling on Monday before making the final decision.

Don't make my mistake and ask if it's okay to use formula. They don't like heretics at the NCT.

None of the class wanted to speak to me after that.

My mother used to work for Cow & Gate in the 60s, so formula is 'good' in my mind. Never been tempted to go to NCT classes before, but now....... I could be a rebel!

If the silver has any value potentially, get it valued before cleaning as cleaning it will take 30-90% off the possible sale price.

That's useful. I dug out some old silver that had been lurking in the sideboard and was wondering what to do with it. At least I know not to clean it and save myself a job.

Bugs, what is the best time to head in that direction? I don't do it often...

Anything out of rush hour is pretty OK. Are you coming up the A1 or the M1 - the lads for some reason generally prefer the A1 and last time I did it before Xmas there was only a short section of road works. Personally I use the M1 but only up to the M6 junction and then veer off back home to Salford/Runcorn.

Don't forget it's grim up North,

so our roads are generally less busy than yours:)


GDB, your question about health or marbles was too horrible to contemplate, I suppose health but only by the slimmest of margins.

I think you should put the kindle in a book lined coffin, mostly just to confuse it.

What made you put in a different house number?

To get the best price first I run a comparison site search then look at what cashback is available for the top contenders and purchase direct via tcb or quidco. When I do the comparison site search I put in slightly amended details so there is no danger of the comparison site getting the cashback rather than me.

The problem may be that in previous years we have swapped proposer between me and dw in order to maintain both our ncbs having gone down from 2 cars to 1 a couple of years ago but that is not possible this year as we currently have a second car old banger runabout to address the problem that our main car is so unreliable at the moment.

Thanks, michaels. It all makes sense!

That's a car. I think you're on the wrong board GDB old chap.

Yeah, but its pretty gross to eat off dirty forks.

I'll mention it next month, at shareholders meeting.

We're trying to do as much as possible domestically (in Georgia) at the moment, and whilst numbers and systems are my strong point, design certainly isn't.

We can't do a lot with the final design until the main numbers are thrashed out yet, as whilst we're very interested in the UAC product, the whole project is still dependent on favourable finance lease terms, compliant with Georgian tax law. The manufacturer needs sales at the moment just as much as their product is the best there is from a financial PoV, so there are huge bargaining points to be had on both sides.

With the actual business plan, for most of it the numbers are there (although historic data), and for several of the destinations it's going to be a case of throwing an aircraft on a route twice a week and seeing what happens, before varying days/times as per customer feedback.

Around 35% of the airlines cost of a return flight from London is APD, which makes reducing other costs vital if we're to compete long-term with traditional holiday destinations like Spain and Turkey. Being just 190nmi from band A isn't so comforting, too.

If you are trying to create another low cost airline, and using old planes, it wouldn't be too terrible to leave the livery unchanged initially.
