Re: Buying a tubz vending vending vending round

my experience this sort of stuff sells in rough pubs because the guys get them for the wife/kids when they come home ****** they can say "look, i brought something for you" and takes the heat off them a bit.

Re: Desperate for Help please

Wendy I don't see what the problem is? Why are you so against tubz vending? As Barbara says they've got you almost double the number of sites that you paid for - your account manager has obviously put in a lot of work. I think it's a shame that your son lost interest in the business but that's how m...

Re: Taking on an employee to run your vending round

Pete it's a legal minefield, you should be fine like that but you've got to be careful. probably safer do it similar to how Dominos etc do their drivers (i know I used to be one of them!). Zero hours/minimum hours, minimum level of employment so no NI but their wages are tax deductible for you. You ...

Re: New £1 Coin

Pete,

That's great news. That might actually sway me to buy new Clenports to put in my best sites. Can you pm me when are you next planning to get some in?

Cheers

Re: Charity Honesty Sweet Boxes Should be BANNED!

I've had two major dramas now with kids getting their hands stuck in machines, had the fire brigade out etc. The thing is, if the little buggers are trying to steal off you there's a counter claim so you really don't need PLI for tho...

Re: New £1 Coin

Paul well done for getting this. Looks like it will not work in existing coin mechs.

It still says that the new coin will be available from Summer 2015 and we're end of September now. They say they'll only give them directly to manufacturers - anyone got one??
