Women buy Christmas Presents Earlier than Men.
We launched our Christmas Voucher Offer a couple of weeks ago and can positively confirm that women are so much more organised than men when it comes to purchasing Christmas Presents.

Following the latest round of the Vodafone Dmax Champs last Sunday, I thought it was the right time to sit down and write the half term report. With five rounds completed and five to go, it is time to reflect upon the series so far and to download some of my thoughts as the Series…

Is everything alright with your meal?
When did it become the law for every waiter and waitress to ask if everything is alright with your meal between six and eleven minutes after serving your main course? I have been eating out now for about 30 years and I remember being impressed the first time a waitress checked if everything was ok…
