A simple but very effective look at Business Accounting

Advantages: Not too heavy going, value for money, real world examples
Disadvantages: It's accounting!

...Understanding Business Accounting for Dummies, by John A. Tracy and Colin Barrow is a great book for anyone who takes an interest in the world of business, and seeks an understanding of accounting. When studying accounting for the first time in my first year at University, I struggled with the concept throughout the year. There tends to be those who can do it, and those who can't with accounting, and unfortunately, I was one of those who struggled. The course text book was complex, and meant for higher level understandings of the subject. In the end, I had to retake the module after I failed my first attempt. As I was struggling with the course textbook, I went in search of a more simplistic look at accounting and its relation to business situations. The 'For Dummies' series is obviously a worldwide known brand, and this particular...

Barclays Personal & Business Bank Accounts

Advantages: Efficient, Good Variety of products, Best offered Cash ISA 2 years running
Disadvantages: Try and sell you products that are not always beneficial to you.

...Although I have read a lot of negative reviews on Barclays - I personally have never had an issue or any problems with then that Barclays haven't dealt with in a professional manner. *I have both personal & business bank accounts with them. *I rarely have ever needed to go into branch unless I'm paying in cheques. *I bank on-line and in comparison with Lloyd's bank find Barclays on-line banking facilities meet all my needs. *Telephone banking is always efficient and I feel I get what I need done with ease. I dont recall waiting times but cant be too long for me to not recall. Yes sure all companies will try and promote their products to you in order to sell you something - But its down to you as a person to assess the pros and cons of a product. Its always in your best interest to choose the correct products for you and they...

NASTY BUSINESS!

Advantages: Compelling reading
Disadvantages: Some similarities to other novels by the author, strong language may offend some.

...Review of The Business, a hardback novel by Martina Cole The Business is Martina Cole's latest offering in a long line of best selling novels set against a backdrop of London's criminal underworld. For those unfamiliar with Ms Cole's books, she writes of subjects unsavoury, seedy and at times, uncomfortable. Nothing is taboo to Ms Cole and The Business covers violence, murder, prostitution, drug addiction, child abuse and neglect . Her writing style is gritty and she produces novels that are hauntingly readable. Readers are under no illusions about her characters and their lifestyles, a peep into a world very different from most people's reality, Ms Cole's books have the ability to shock, fascinate, touch and repulse me as the story unfolds! **The Plot** Covering period from 1978 to the present day, The Business follows...

Review of The Business - Martina Cole

Change of Business?

Advantages: Another Book From Cole
Disadvantages: Not a great page turner

...Martina Cole - The Business?.. **The Book** Martina Cole's latest novel entitled "The Business" is yet another book filled with the gritty, hard hitting seediness that is the London underworld. We go back in time to the late 70's and meet the Dooley family. Gerald Dooley SNR, head of the house, Mary Dooley the mother of three children, two sons and a daughter, Imelda. Imelda is the main charter throughout the book as we follow her life, which is bad from start to finish. Imelda is trouble with a capital "T" and this is something that her family are soon to realise. Her sexually loose behaviour soon gets her with "a belly full of arms and legs" as Martina Cole so eloquently puts it, and this causes major friction within the family. Her father, Gerald SNR, cannot believe that his young and angelic daughter is already giving...

The One Account

Advantages: Paying off your mortgage quickly and saving you thousands of pounds
Disadvantages: You need a lot of common sense and future vision to benefit from this account

...I HAVE WROTE AN UPDATE AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE. HOPE YOU ENJOY READING AND PLEASE FEEL FREE TO GET IN TOUCH IF YOU WISH. GARY. The One Account?...where to begin??? Well for a start you need to have a common sense mentality, or this product will simply not work for you. The account works by purchasing your house on your switch card, i.e. you have a massive overdraft; as simple as that. You then pay in your wages and any other sums of money you can get hold of into your account, and hey presto, you simply pay off the debt. Why does this product work for me? Well my scenario is that my I own over half of my property, so I benefit from the lowest rates of interest that they offer. If you are not in this situation then the account is not really for you as better deals can be found. Now for the interesting bit?..can you save money?.or do...

The Business

Advantages: Sunny
Disadvantages: Boring

...The Business is set in the 1980s and tells the story of a young man from London who goes to work in Spain. The film is set in the Costa del Sol, The acting, the storyline and the script in this film is not very good.. I might recommended this film for the soundtrack but not much else because it really isn't that good. I rented this film without the additional disc of extras so I can't really tell you anything about them. Even so, I wouldn't bother watching it if I were you. Running Time: 90 mins Director: Nick Love Producer: Allan Niblo, James Richardson Executive/Co-Producer: Rupert Preston Editor: Stuart Gazzard Screenwriter: Nick Love Director of Photography: Damian Bromley Sound: Simon Willis Cast: Danny Dyer, Tamer Hassan, Georgina Chapman, Geoff Bell...

Advantages: Gripping plot, fast paced story, great characters

Nationwide: Flex Account

Advantages: Good rates and great for internet usage. Excellent card when abroad.
Disadvantages: Slow to respond to internal e-mails.

...I have been with nationwide for many years and they have certainly improved. They have a wide range of accounts but best of all must be their Flex account. Once opened, it can be assessed on-line and money transferred from account to account with relative speed and ease. One of its best assets is its debit card. If you travel abroad and need to draw out local currency, the card will let you but, you DONT incur any extra charges or fee's. You'll simply get charged the exchange rate for the amount. Well worth just for that reason alone. Their interest rates are reasonable and, with many branches around, its not hard to get access. Morgage rates are quite good with competitive trackers. The account comes with a cheque book but you dont have to use them. The branches also have cheque book sized ledges to keep track of your...
