A guy on my street sells personal attack alarms for 5 pounds and recently due to the goings on in ipswich he as sold loads of them. Could be something to look into as in cheaper personal secruity.

Thats a good idea. My dughter does a paper round i she takes with her an alarm. Especially in todays society,people are really concerned about personal safety.

u know there's a tragic loss of good children clothing - adams and next seems to b all there is... but the problem is there's alot of regulation and safety - rightly so - around children so its quite hard to get ideas off the ground...

Theres ****** all places to buy decent kids clothes from. Ones that dont fall apart after two weeks! And that are for ages 3-14.

Once you know the regulations,its just a matter of adhereing to them, it can be done. Also, if you dont look after children for more than two hours,the rules arent the same.Thats why the kids clubs at the sports centre only last 1 hour 55 mins, the staff needn't be qualified.

Spoke to him today just to get some figures...
price to make the alarms including componants is £1.28p each so its over 200% profit and everyone wants loved ones to be safe as possible. They wont make you safe but they do make you safer so for 5 pounds i think its more than worth it and after hearing one go off i can tell you they bloody work lol.

A good investment i think for people. A couple of quid for a little more safety is a good thing i think.

Try a B&B, I certainly need one most nights I am out.

yep, a great idea . A local 'American' style motel, not a Blackpool style boarding house , for out of town visitors, the only decent place I know is the Dunkanhalgh (sp?), and the place on Yew Tree drive in B,Burn , has to have decent off street secure parking and provide a decent breakfast , think you would be surprised at the number of overseas living locals who visit Hyndburn to visit family and renew links and end up sleeping on bed settees in somebodies front room because of a lack of hotel space in the area.
There has to be space available along the Blackburn Rd./Lonsdale st clearance area , thinking about it .....the Church wharf/Commercial pub area is an ideal place for such a development

Mani, and when you make your first million , remember where you got the idea from

Burger King? Both KFC and McDonalds seem to do very well in Accy?

Don't know if it has been mentioned but I reckon an indie/vintage clothing shop of some description would thrive around here.
There's only Burton & Officers Club for the lads (not sure about girls - not into that kind of thing

) and they both sell the same kind of stuff.
Just take Pop boutique in Manchester for example.
Small place with a cafe downstairs. Brilliant place.
