    I see. So I still can't quite jump right in and start making a basic app. No worries!

    Total n00b here.I took a look at Creator and it looks straight-forward with its drag and drop approach, but do I need to know more (e.g. a language or the Ionic framework) before I…

    Very seasonal business and I'd be surprised if it was ever >50% occupancy under the current owners. Blackpool's season for many overnight accommodation businesses has gone from Apr…

    > Google is a “platform for piracy and the spread of malicious networks” So, like Sky Broadband in the UK, then?

    Sky's apps are the same. As a Barclays and Sky customer, this is a ball-ache. Barclays I can kind of understand, because progress in British retail banking happens at a snails pace…

    No, it shouldn't. As much as I also dislike the Continental love of the ban hammer, I'm not sure what it has to with this.

    I wonder if a successful TTIP agreement would be the catalyst for this? It's inexplicable that the EU/ EEA would allow for non-metric goods to freely flow into the market.
