“Q. How can you delay milk turning sour
A. Keep it in the cow”

That answers genius

With logic like that, we are breeding a race of practical quick thinking decision makers, and our National economy will based on MLM schemes and selling to each other

Groupon - do you use it? 10th February 2012 9:25 AM
“..I have also heard stories of people losing money by not working out there profit margins correctly after discounts.”

Yep they have been pretty well documented, so if you decide to go down the Groupon Route, really do your homework first and work out those numbers.

No point getting inuandated with orders you can't deliver, at a price you can't afford! Too many people have been swept along with the illusion of high volume sales, which ends in a loss of reputation and financial chaos, or worse
China new target for fast food brands 10th February 2012 9:13 AM
That's a great sell, coffee to a nation of tea drinkers, mind you worked for the UK

Fair play to some of these global brands, I was always amazed to see McDonalds in India, bearing in mind cows are sacred, and couldn't resist going in one, only to be confronted with Mc Chicken burgers and Mc Currys. Other than the menu, it could have been an outlet anywhere in the world.

So as the youngsters get weened on Starbucks and McDonalds from Russia to China, all of a sudden the world seems a much smaller and familiar place. Fast food succeeds where diplomacy and politics fail!

Mind you, lets hope in 20 years we don't have 5 billion obese Chinese and Indians

Or maybe its a secret form of population control as all our life expectancy reduces and we croak it from heart attacks, saving government's around the world a fortune in old age benefits

As the financial doom lingers on around the world, we do get exposed to some great terminology, devised by very clever and highly paid economists.

My favorite is Quantitative easing, the ability for a National Bank to inject fresh capital into a Country by means of.. erm.. printing more money

Obviously financial people will tell you it is an awful lot more complicated than that, and its a highly technical monetary mechanism, strictly controlled and monitored.

But basically, from what I can see, it's printing more money. The beeb website explains it pretty well, although does draw comparisons:

"Printing money can be defined as the central bank financing of government debts. This is what happened in both 1920s Germany and Zimbabwe and what the British government will insist it is not doing, although the short-term effect is similar."
