    Bord Gais Energy “loyalty team”

    Switch to one of the other providers whoever has the best offer currently, as soon as BGE get the notification of it you'll get a retention call to stop you from switching - then invoke your cooling off period on the switch and you're done.

    Land Rover Discovery TD5 (2004) - Opinions please

    A senior aftersales Director in a Land Rover Dealership told me a few years ago that you should only ever own one while it's in warranty... My experience would be to agree with him, unless of course you don't mind the monthly bills to keep it

I find it very...

    Giving up a Tracker

    As per @44brendan this makes no sense - the sale of your current property and purchase of the new one are completely separate transactions. You sell your current property and repay/close both mortgages and apply for a new mortgage for your new property either with your current bank or a...

    What would be a good way to find a business collaborator/partner?

    Ok, so you are looking at a web/social presence as it is the only media that will have the reach you need and then working with someone/agency to push it out to the correct target customers - you could end up spending alot on SEO if the target group isn't well defined though so make sure whoever...

    What would be a good way to find a business collaborator/partner?

    Is it just marketing that you require or are you looking for someone to define a strategy or growth plans for the business and actually participate as a financially committed partner? A small marketing agency will be able to work up a marketing plan and execute for a fee.

    Would you buy a house that has had pyrite but been fixed now?

    The issue here is the unknown - although the infected fill will have been removed and cosmetically the house will have been returned to its correct state it is impossible to know what damage was caused by the ongoing upward pressure that the pyrite produced in the first place. Realistically...

    Would you buy a house that has had pyrite but been fixed now?

    How long has the repair been completed? Was it the original builder who repaired it and was the entire slab removed? They should have taken photos and been cert'd by the engineer at each stage so ask for the proof. Are there any visible signs of further cracking in the plaster, sticking doors...
