Distance selling regualtions
THE majority of dealers make use of the internet as part of their daily business. However, if you intend to go beyond simply using the internet as an advertising medium and wish to sell goods over the internet, then you will have to comply with the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 and possibly the Electronic Commerce (EC Directive) Regulations 2002. . .

Architectural entrepreneur brings rural businesses together
HAVING rode out one recession 17 years ago Keith Allan has found himself in the midst of another. His new approach is to bring independent rural businesses together in a cluster which may not be a new trend but it's one that's helping some small firms gain a foothold during the recession. "Clustering together helps to reduce the overheads as everyone is helping towards the running of the place," said Mr Allan.

China's lost heritage
"IT IS difficult to overstate how much of China’s old imperial capital has disappeared in recent years" said Mr Li who has been salvaging architectural remnants since the 1970s, sometimes at considerable risk to himself.
Once he finds the pieces he then takes them back to his museum in Beijing, the first privately-owned museum in China. There are currently around 3000 items on display, including gate piers, plaques and screen walls ranging from 2nd century BC to the early 20th century. Mr Li who has been collecting since he was seven years old, also has more than 10 thousand carvings and is preparing to display them to the public.

Rayburn is greener than Aga
"IT'S TIME to come clean. I have a domestic problem to the tune of a £3000-a-year gas bill. No, I don’t live in a huge draughty mansion, just a rather uninspiring 70s-style chalet house," said Jane Davies.
Her Aga is one of the main culprits for the gas bill. This dilemma led Mrs Davies to seek out a meeting with Aga at their Coalbrookdale foundary near Telford. She hoped that the trip would give her the chance to see how Aga is moving into the era of 'green' cookers after 300 years of casting iron at the Coalbrookdale site.

Redirecting the waste stream
BUILDING materials destined for landfill get put to better use in the homes of builder Dan Phillips. Old bottle caps, used wine corks, glass shards, old planks of wood and chunks of bone - things people might consider worthless become valuable building materials in the hands of Philips.
Above: This storybook house built by Phillips with recycled materials is reminiscent of the traditional houses of Normandy.
