Retail Shop Advertising and the Curse of Moronic Vandalism. Shops and businesses in the high street benefit from outside advertising to attract passing trade. The problem is that such advertising material can be a magnet for destruction by the more undesirable members of society. The Summer of 2011 in the UK saw a proliferation of various race and criminal riots that disgraced the English nation. This lead to wanton destruction of many shops and retail premises, and a huge cost to local businesses - some never recovered. This highlighted how vulnerable High Street premises can be from the more 'lowlife' underclass elements of society. This article examines the issue, and provides positive information on how to eradicate the risk of destruction through the curse of moronic vandalism. |
How the European Union Kills Business in the United Kingdom. The EU is an organisation that emanated from the aftermath of the Second World War. Its initial intention was honourable, to avoid a repeat. However, it has grown into a undemocratic bureaucratic monster. It shares the features of all out of control bureaucracies, where its sole purpose appears to be for continual expansion and power. The United Kingdom (UK) is largely a euro-sceptic country, and thankfully is not in the Euro zone, which currently appears in the process of imploding to euro currency destruction. It is in the area of business this essay focuses on; the EU and its myriad of regulations has long lost sight that it doesn't create business, but puts ever increasing obstacles in the way of companies to create wealth. |

Equality Act UK 2010 – More Politically Correct Nonsense Imposed on Business The United Kingdom's Equality Act 2010 was imposed on companies against the wishes of business leaders, whilst the UK is trying to reduce its enormous debts. This article explores how this legislation adds yet more red tape to businesses, and will end up adversely affecting the selected ‘protected groups’ it was suppose to protect. Taking offense if you're individual benefitting from a protected characteristic such as race, religion, or gender (i.e. female) can translate to a huge compensation claim . This legislation aims to encourage an equality of outcome (rather than opportunity), but human beings are not clones, and individual personal choice certainly does not appear to fit into politically corrected ideology. |
The Sheer Hell of Telephone Call Centre Voicemail Telephone Call Centres and their horrendous voicemail systems can often provide the ultimate in bad customer service experience. Just about everyone has experienced the sheer hell of telephoning a call centre. The endless voicemail mantra of ‘your custom is important to us’, the torturous piped music, the waste of time, and to rub salt in the wound invariably having to pay money for this nightmare. For many companies and organisations their voicemail is nothing short of a public relations disaster, and some of the worst examples can be found in the telecommunications business and government organisations. This article examines the current call centre vogue and questions why it is used in the first place. |
HEALTH & SAFETY - Is Perspex Plastic Really a Better Choice than Glass? The United Kingdom currently appears risk averse and obsessed with Health and Safety issues. Indeed this can be taken to extremes, and has led to over zealous interpretation with the banning of such innocuous items and activities such as hanging baskets, pantomime shows throwing sweets to children, conker competitions. When it comes to purchasing picture frames, many organisations particularly those linked with government demand the more expensive and environmentally unfriendly plastic safety glass over traditional glass. This article examines whether plastic glass really is a safer option than traditional glass. |
Is The UK's TV LIcensing Agency Just Plain Evil? Some organisations are inefficient, some are over bureaucratic, but in the United Kingdom the TV Licensing is concluded to be just plain evil. This agency assumes every address is using a television and if their records shows there is no TV harasses potentially innocent persons to the point of using language that treats them as criminals without checking their facts first. The UK is rather unique in having a compulsory television license . This is to fund the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) whether watched or not. The TV Licensing Agency is tasked to collect the fee, but as Datalite UK Ltd discovered they assume every business has a TV, and treats does that don't as criminals! |
