And with the winter of 2021 on the horizon, it is fair to say that many families – in London, the South East and beyond – are feeling the need to crank up their heating in order to feel comfortable.

We’ve previously written about various ways you can minimise your own energy bills – but could there be a culprit for…

5 Elements Of On-Page SEO You Shouldn’t Overlook | Pennink Productions

The ‘on-page’ aspect of search engine optimisation (SEO) – in other words, the optimisation of individual webpages to help elevate a website up the search engine rankings – will always be a key part of broader website SEO marketing. But not all of the things you probably should be doing in on-page SEO are things that you’ll actually…

So crowded has the general news agenda been in relation to other issues since the beginning of 2021, that it might seem hard to believe the UK really has been experiencing the implications of Brexit ‘proper’ for less than a year.

With the Brexit transition period having come to a close at the end of 2020, this has made a significant difference to the wide range of procedural rules to be followed by litigators and those drafting commercial contracts.

Just one of these key areas…

Would entering the property market in this part of Andalucia now be a risk, or might it…

Naturally, it goes without saying that when you’re getting married in Gibraltar – or for that matter, anywhere else – you’ll want your attendees to be on their best behaviour (within reason)! And hopefully, the things they should do – treating you, your beloved and the venue with courtesy and respect, for example – shouldn’t need to be stated.

That said, it’s also true that some people, in…

For more than a few reasons, many of us aren’t accustomed to necessarily purchasing jewellery as a present for someone else. But really, it’s something more of us should probably consider, especially when we’re on the lookout for something really special to buy for someone close to us, such as a partner, sister or mum. And when it’s the Zawzor range of jewellery you’re choosing from this festive season, you can be assured of attractiveness, quality and value in whichever piece you…

What do you personally associate with the autumn and winter months? Greyness and drizzle, perhaps? Or maybe, on a brighter note, all the fun of Halloween and the run-up to the festive season? Whatever your answer to that might be, it's fair to say this time of year can mean many different things to many different people.

Here at £1 Vape, we therefore decided to highlight just a few of the fine-quality and great-value e-liquids in our stock that could make the next few months slightly…

During the past year or so of struggle and uncertainty, many of us have benefitted from the company of our cat or dog. Most of us consider our pets to be members of the family, and if they were to become ill or sustain an injury, we would spend any amount of money on veterinary bills to relieve them of their suffering.

Wouldn’t it be better, though, if you could have the reassurance of knowing that your furry friend is protected by a suitable insurance policy?

That’s where the team…

The last year and a half of intermittent lockdown restrictions and other limits on our lives in response to the coronavirus pandemic have undoubtedly been punishing in more ways than one. Gyms, leisure centres and other fitness venues being closed for extended periods of time hasn’t exactly done a favour to Britons’ waistlines.

So, it’s hardly surprising that according to one recent poll, half of UK adults weren’t happy with their physical fitness levels. The survey of over 2,000…

What is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral, mined in Australia, Canada and South Africa during the 20th century. Its heat and sound resistant properties made it ideal for use in the manufacture of a wide range of products from pipe insulation, flooring materials, cement roofing and insulatory coatings to toilet cisterns, artex wall coatings and its wide range of use has resulted in asbestos now being present in some form in all but the newest of premises – its use was…

As reported by Reuters and elsewhere, British businesses have voiced concern about recent tax rises imposed on them by Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak, while suggesting that Budget statements next month should focus on help with such challenges as Brexit and climate change.
