My Website 29th March 2020 10:18 PM

I've tried to avoid doing this as I don't like to but over the past year and a half, my website has been dying a slow death and it's visible on my analytics graph. My last order was early February. I don't want to chuck it all it as I have spent too many years with it. Could I ask you guys to take a look I'm sure you can find it or if you don't can PM it to you? Let me know what you think and what I can do to improve it. I already have google and Bing running and all I've done is give them money every month. If I recall I have asked this before when I was with another e-commerce store , but have changed since then to a fork of prestashop 

TIA

Wifey has just been given the bad news. Her job is not required anymore as it's a coffee shop ...She will have to go on to reduced hours if possible in the garden center. I reckon mine will follow soon as we are relying on small shops Butchers, Deli's, etc to be open mmmmm trying times .hope my inheritance comes through soon

COVID 19 small business grant help 18th March 2020 8:58 PM

The government's grant scheme is really just a low-interest loan anyway ... The company I work for isn't taking it out as it just delays the inevitable... So not sure what to suggest.. 1 of our guys has had to lower his work to 3 days a week and I suppose all of us may have to follow until this all passes  

As usual, Uk leaves everything until it is way too late... We could have avoided this by banning anyone returning to the UK right after the first few cases were found. Yes, it may have upset a few people, but rather a few than a whole country.

I have read quite a few stories of what I call selfish people saying they managed to get out before the lockdown etc, or getting out in time ... I also believe some people just managed to walk out without being checked

I hardly ever draw cash. I have often had to walk away from buying because they don't take card.. In today's world a card machine is a must ,even if it is a PayPal 1

Bliksem – to hit. This is a derogative term meaning to hit or punch someone.

Bra / Bru – friend.This term is commonly used to call a friend, pal or buddy.

Eina! – ouch! [Ay-na].Usually expressed when someone experiences a sharp pain of some sort.

Now Now – immediately / soon.A confusing phrase for non-locals meaning sometime soon – sooner than just now but quicker than right now.

Shebeen – an unlicensed bar [sha-been]These are unlicensed bars..Visited a few in my younger days as alcohol was banned to sell on weekends ..Still is lol

Voetsek! – Go away![foot-sak]..Usually said with an angry tone when telling someone to go away or get lost.

Need your help 17th February 2020 7:42 PM

A great example is my wife's face-book page. She started a facebook page and has grown it to over 400 followers by doing nothing ..Well expect for posting . She doesn't advertise and doesn't have a website or anything like that , it's all been word of mouth and when she posts something almost every post has lods of likes and posts

Agree with Rebecca ,paying for followers/likes doesn't do anything except fool you into thinking you are doing OK when in reality you are not

I hate getting spam emails and any sms stuff like this gets blocked asap.. There is nothing worse than you phone receiving thing in the middle of the night
