When I bought my business, I paid for the property, the stock, fixtures/fittings and goodwill. Can I claim the goodwill as an expense for tax purposes?

Looking for inspiration, I have a small rural convenience store where 95% of my customers are local. I am filling in a premises license application form.

"Describe the steps you intend to take to promote the four licensing objectives"

Given that most of the licensing objectives are more appropriate to pubs / clubs / cinemas etc, What are the licensing authority looking for from me?

I have a small shop selling tobacco amongst lots of other stuff.

I have a sign on display which reads "It is illegal to sell tobacco products to anyone under the age of 18" I'm sure you know the signs I am talking about.

My question is; Am I legally obliged to display this sign?

On a similar note, the "illegal to smoke on these premises" signs which have appeared everywhere. I understand that I am obliged to display this sign. Is there a timescale? Can I remove it after six months, or a year or is it there forever?

Please don't think I am going to start selling to minors, its just that these signs take up valuable merchandising space.

I've managed to install a Welsh language pack, I would really like to un-install it but its in Welsh. My Welsh is very limited

I've got this far;

Hoffech chi ddadosod Welsh (cy GB) Language Pack?

Should I choose Dadosod or Diddymu

Diolch

The following question has been asked by an elderly relative who is worrying about it. I have written it in first person to save confusion.

I had a very slight bump in a supermarket car park in December. I got out of my car and had a good look around but could find no damage so I left the scene. It was a bumper to bumper collision.

A week later, I had a call from the police. Someone had given my registration number to the owner of the other car. I told them what had happened and invited the other car owner to get in touch via telephone. I also gave them my insurance details. The police did say that they did not consider it a police matter as it was such a minor incident.

My insurance policy runs out at the end of March and I haven't heard from the other party. What happens if I don't renew my insurance. Will they still cover me for an accident that was three months ago and within the policy cover?

Is there a time limit for claims? Is she too late?

I assume the spelling is correct. Any ideas?

Sorry about the category, I couldn't find a better one.

Open Office is double line spacing. How can I adjust to single line?

Any ideas welcome.

New car stereo, old aerial.

I can get radio 1 and 3/4 plus all the local stations but not radio2.

Is the signal weaker? maybe its my aerial.

Its in the background with lots of hiss and the name doesn't come up on the display.

I can hear radio 2 in my other car

Here's what I'd like to do;

Take my favourite cds and copy them so I can listen in the car without taking my cds with me.

My stereo will play mp3 files from either cd or other storage.

How do I rip the cd in mp3 format?

My remote control central locking won't work. I've changed the battery and its a good one (the old one was also good)

How can I find out if its my sender or receiver that is at fault? Is there a way to test the sender?

The car is a Citroen Berlingo.

I am concerned by the number of racist or xenophobic questions on here that hint at a fear of Britain losing its identity and its culture.

I am intrigued by what exactly we mean by British culture or identity.

I am told that my three bed house has to have a HIP before I can put it on the market.

I am also told that I can sell it as a two bed house with an office and avoid having to buy a HIP

Is this legal? Is it a good / bad idea?

Anyone with any experience of these HIPs?

This one of my favourite songs ever. Do you think Shane or Sinead would ever get past stage one of the Xfactor?

I know that some people on here can get very excitable when I dare to suggest that I don't want one nor would advise anyone else to get a tattoo. To be honest, I am quite indifferent to them.

Can anyone give me a good reason for having a tattoo? What is your motivation? I really am intrigued.

There seems to be an issue with questions about Google's servers. Does Yahoo actually censor the word Google?

All the racist rubbish is allowed to stay but it would appear that the word Google is an abomination. Is there another search engine that is of any value?

"Please state the requirements a prescription should meet when a GP is prescribing a controlled drug"

This question is the only one I am having difficulties with. Can anyone help me out?

Does the vehicle speed sensor drive the speedo? Can it be tested without specialist equipment?

Would its failure make any difference to performance?

Why can't they just use a cable like in the old days?

I have learned a lot about eggs. or,

Which is preferable in a formal application letter?

Are the cdi units the same on the cb250 and cb400 superdfeams?
