As it happens, the sticky has been read by the old man 74,000 times. Get your facts right.Originally posted by DirtyDog View PostYou should do whatever is the best for your business, based on a careful consideration of the facts and an understanding of what you are agreeing to.
If you cannot do that without strangers on the internet telling you how to run your business, then you deserve everything coming to you.
READ THE LEGISLATION. READ THE STICKY LIKE 74000 OTHER PEOPLE HAVE. ACT LIKE A BUSINESS FFS.Comment

For the users who've been kind enough to answer with useful straightforward answers i say thank you.
For the rest i've found the forum experience extremely poor and will no longer be an active member. Like i said in a previous post you not doing the forum any favours with snooty replies which don't offer any value.Comment

But you are wrong. You can ask a question and we can hand hold you at every step of the way or you can be pointed to a resource (that you should really have looked at first) that has all the answers to all the questions you have and the ones you haven't thought of yet. Someone holding your hand doesn't help you fully understand the situation, which in turn leads to more questions and we get a bit tired of it. The thread has 74000 views. Do you think we would be happy answering the same question 74k times because people won't do a bit of research?Originally posted by Gti182 View PostFor the users who've been kind enough to answer with useful straightforward answers i say thank you.
