Just had to buy three of these[^]
Owing to the unexpectedly swift growth of my company I am now having to expand my 'Warehousing'.
It was merely a cupboard and shelf in the spare bedroom that was converted to my office.
(I tried mostly to send the products directly from supplier to customer, but with a lot of the online sales they are small items that it is cheaper to send from stock).
So cleaning out the garage and putting in the racking. At £33 each it is very cheap, but what is not cheap are the 50 litre plastic boxes.
Still, one needs to invest if one is to grow.
I have written a fairly simple stock control program, (in VB since you didn't ask) and it updates the online store stock control and the accounts package, so it is quite holistic.
I do need to be careful though. I can possibly get another three racks in the garage after these, but if I grow beyond that I will need to look at premises.
I feel that way lies madness as there is the rent and the rates to consider.
Still, not bad for a 7 month old operation that started as little more than a project to see if I could do it.
(You will note that in keeping with the advertising rules I have not mentioned the name of my company nor provided a link. Should anyone be interested in purchasing goods, please contact me via the email link)

Is there a reason you cannot add a link to your sig, I thought it was quite a common practice.

Given Dave's main job, being aware of the rates and taxes is very probably well thought. I am not even sure the business is hosted in UK.

His "contact us" address is in Luton, though I think that comes under Hell, and not the UK!

Exactly, and he sits there. But technically, the company is filed on Pluto. As it is not planet anymore, there is no tax on the benefits there.

Probably gets to write off any profit due to depreciation of deep space probes.

Only because the taxes are probably cheaper in Hell than Luton...

Support Womble (hovering by my desk): How are you doing:
Me: Reasonable.
SW: Erm, we have a problem with £$%^ users trying to connect.
Me: OK.
SW: Erm, just some background, erm, we turned a server off last night.

At times like this, it helps to have a large jar of silicon grease and a pair of latex gloves in your desk draw. You remove the lid from the jar and start putting on the gloves, saying "This won't hurt ... me."

I have to check my employee handbook, but I think that kind of probing might be frowned upon where I work. Then again, we develop and sell a Medical Imaging product, so maybe I can claim it is research.

Naaahhh, it's a sheep. There is no emoticon for a kitten, but I imagine a badger would be equally painful. ![Badger | [badger,badger,badger,badger...]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/badger.gif)

I dont think this could be called research anymore, we are over in the ![Rose | [Rose]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif) area now.
However ![Green Alien | [Alien]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/alien.gif) seems perfect for the job
