    Vistaprint... 500 Business Cards and an aluminIum card holder...£7.50 Well Cheap. Then you realise all the other crapola they try to flog you on the way out. I just kept going until I got to the payments page.

    You could have easily trimmed that to under 140 characters...

      My point being they lure you in with the cheapo offer, then there is about 5 pages of stuff they want to add to your order before you get to the payment. Keep a firm grip and you get away with a good offer. Pens, Fridge Magnets, Car Door Advertising, Headed Paper, etc etc etc are just distractions.

          You raise a valid point Sir! :) However, I am limiting myself to just the business cards. I have just purchased the website and am waiting on the bank to open my business account. It occurred to me that I need to monetise a lot more of what I do and need also to be at arms length. So, start a company and push stuff through that. Sure, I still have to pay tax, but I can write off a lot more expenses that way. All perfectly legal and above board, but that is why it is called Tax Avoidance, as opposed to the highly illegal Tax Evasion. A lot more people should do it. (It also helps that being an accountant I know what I am doing with relation to annual taxation and tax planning).

            A lot more people should avoid paying tax? Next time I have to wait 8 hours in A&E because of a lack of staff I'll think of you.

                A lot more people should be aware that it is their duty to pay as little tax as is legally permissible. Personally I think you should sit in casualty and wonder why Blair gave away the £2,000,000,000 a year rabate that Thatcher won from Europe. (So that the French would 'play nicely'?) Or perhaps wonder why the Labour Government pissed away £500,000,000 on a computerised NHS system that never worked and they were told in advance it would nver work. Spending is the problem, not taxing.

                  I use them but I do agree they are just like Godaddy. Upsell, upsell, upsell.

                      I think you will get bombarded with spam emails from them for a very long time. It took me months to get off their list!
