Office Printer

Xerox have shafted me by withdrawing support for our fantabulous dc332 - it's only 15 years old, why soooo hasty?

so forced out into the scary procurement world.
All fixed with the superb HP Officejet Pro x476dw Multifunction Printer (snappy name to remember)
£275, no toner or drum coblas, and i know a man who can supply ink at half price !

it really is a great machine - super for network scanning, printing etc......
setting up wireless is a nightmare due to HP making it sooooo hard.



PS. HP->, please send the commission cheque to my HSBC account, Geneva.      tnx

Budget 2015 comment

"i'm Abolishing annual tax returns".
Politicians empty waffle-speak. There's no substantive change.
Most punters still lumbered with filing annual stuff with HMRCy.

Most of us do it onslime anyway already, especially eeeeasy when using a fantabulous firm of chartered accountants like abell morliss international !

bad news for serfs

from the de burr website

"Changes to unfair dismissal rules which could save nearly £6 million a year for British business have been announced today by Business Secretary Vince Cable and Chancellor George Osborne.

Today’s decision will see the qualification period for the right to claim unfair dismissal extended from one to two years. This will come into force on 6 April 2012."

this is sensible for small businesses, but mad for employers of 20+ staff as it will lead to abuse. e.g 23 month contracts
