Is that not what the OP wants rather than people touting for business? Punting your number at folk looking for work is a bit different to offering a suggestion, no?
Offering to actually speak to someone who is actually looking for advice is a bit different than touting for business as far as I am concerned, I genuinely thought I was being helpful-I've had plenty of opportunity to 'tout for business' on the forum by bringing up what I do but haven't done it before as it is a bit spammy, the difference here is that there is someone asking for advice and I'm able to provide them with that face to face in the city they live in as opposed to a faceless forum. The problem with asking for financial advice online is that everyone has a different way of looking at it, threads like this can cause more problems than they solve......did for me anyway!

When I make my 1st liquid million (Turkish Lira) I am giving it to Norm, not to invest just as a thank you for cheering me up sometimes.

Though what you should do is spend it on cars!

Hi everyone, can we get back to the topic at hand and stop throwing mud around to see if it will stick .. it's not helping the OP.

Thank you

Thank you all for your help and advice.
Hi Crewegirl, sorry your thread has turned out the way it has, certainly wasn't my intention when I replied to you.

Sorry again

Can we all move on now?

Wasn't having a pop, I just don't get the difference this thread has compared to asking about which tyre shop, or which maid company to use. People just talk about experience and where they've gone there. Still, it's slim differences, but differences all the same IMO.

Like I say, just my opinion, others will differ eh.

Frankly, I'm disgusted that sealing it in a sandwich bag and dumping in the cistern wasn't taken seriously.

The 1st sentence is a given. The 2nd sentence is a little sinister.
