    Towing with a hire car/van

    Just a suggestion - so don't bite my head off for offering others services!

    Marine Finance

    Don't actually add loan to mortgage, take out further mortgage over 5 years, say. That was lowest rate I could find and for the shortest time I could afford. Worked for me may not suit all. Kev

    The Tarquin Trader Saga - Update

    [ QUOTE ] What suprises me, is that it must almost be as much effort to maintain the wall of silence, ignore emails, phone calls etc. as it would be to develop a proper aftersales relationship with each customer. Most of our business is repeat business, which implies a basic degree of...
