    Google adwords but it has to be tightly focussed You can focus so only people in your town looking for tree surgeon will see the ad Make ad stand out Eg Need tree surgeon in Camberly Local quality service References available If your in camberley that or summat similar will stand out as local Keep your areas very tight Different ads for different towns Use key word "tree surgeon" in ad Thats what customer is searching for so give it them

    Apologies watching irish baby stuff on tv making me cross UPSUM robbing bar stewards - lots of small businesses have suffered huge ( comparitively ) losses for them to build their empire ....... Lots of staff on zero hours minimum wage contracts ........ But most supermarkets operating to same low ethical "standards" Also some rumors of very very dodgy planning applications, do you remember professional hit on a tesco planning agent few years ago? And lady Porter doing dodgy election stuff back in the 80's - is she still wanted person living abroad?

    Tesco been ok for my family Bought out small grocery chain family owned in 60's My aunt bought £1000 of shares in early 70's when no one had heardof them - probably made fortune Unortunately nothing in my pocket When I worked with food fom britain they were asking pig farmers for £100 to talk to their buyer for 45 minutes Woman worked for two years to design herb packaging - they gave her one order then copied what she'd done - all her work down the drain They also got people in and ripped off their software design work UPSUM robbing bastards

    I was at lancashire traction engine club rally in about 1973 when it chucked it down all weekend Absolutely everything got bogged down even cat d9 (?) that went to pull stuff out 1898 McClaren with spuds fitted pulled everything out including the cat - i think it belonged to Pip Atherton from Widnes They moved to old airfield with concrete hard standing year afterwards

    My wife designed crematoria back in 1980's and was told then that during burning process bodies move, so that if your watching you might suddenly see them sit up ..... Apparently very spooky to see..... A mate who is hindu had to actually see his mother burn so it was his duty to go behind the curtain and watch the process - his view was that no one should have to do that .....he hated it......
