China or Plastic Cups

I was fed up to see how many plastic cups had been used in the staff kitchen, why these people cant use mud? I think it would save the world.

However, the facility manager refused my recommadation to use more mud. He simply said, as there are better recycling opportunities for plastic, and also fluids used in dishwashers are more harmful to the environment..... Therefore, we are not going to change anything......

Sainsbury does it again when it is not good

As I mentioned early, I don't like the idea of Salisbury's gives away free bags and nothing to follow up.

I found out I am not alone.

To my surprise, Sainsburys is doing is again! Oh my God!

Sainsbury not doing enough for their bags

In the last few weeks, we had been seeing Sainsbury's on the news about their initiative to reduce customers using plastic bags.

Including introducing new designer reuse bags: " I am not a plastic bag", but bad enough this bag only earn them just few of the fame. Customers would not be able to buy the bags any more, because they become an fashion icon, and eBay begins to sell it.....

Also they gave away normal reuse bags just for one day, wish their customers would use them again.. However, it never happen in my office. People just forget about their responsibility and just like to be take the easy way.

I would like to highlight that M&S is doing very good in this way by launching "Plan A". Now they are doing a trial in Norther Ireland to encourage customers to use fewer carriers. Throughout June they will offer free newly-designed reuse bags for each food transaction. Then they would charge 5p for each standard food carrier bags in July.

I think it is a very good practices to encourage customer to use less bags.

今天市场重演昨天开市的情况，一开市就狂泻，但是这个是由于GSK的糖尿病药物Avandia的一些证件出了问题，由于GSK在FTSE中占很重的比例，它一动真的市就大动了。同时M&S的盈利没有达到市场预计的最高上限所以大家都很失望。
中午的是否A&L得到UBS和ABN Amro的提点到“买入“，所以带动股价上升，同时给大市注入上升的动力，同时BA是否参与Texas Pacific Group (TPG) 收购西班牙航空公司的不确定因素推动指数全面下跌。
6631 --- 6626 --- 6631 --- 6620 --- 6067

5月21日 - Finspead

今天市场一开市就狂泻了好几十点，真是有点后悔没有把握机会。后来一查，原来是地产股带头网下冲，特别是Foxton卖给了Private Equity，给市场不同的解读，很多人都认为整体房地产市场有下滑的迹象。但是到我会office的时候，市场已经有反弹的迹象，所以在6638的是下了5p/point的buy order一直到午餐的时候赚了1.55。后来市场掉头向下，由于oil and gas leads the market to dip.

我想要看看FTSE的Index是如何组成的，今天我同样book了培训课程，我想看看他们能给我什么的提升。

mySupermarket - The comparison site that saves you money at your supermarket

mySupermarket - The comparison site that saves you money at your supermarket

This is the latest supermarket comparsion site. Unlike others just list out the offer from different supermaket, this site does provide you very the best picture of the products, also very focus on the online shopping facility.

I doubt that, like Tesco offer its own "check the price" service, and this site does not give out detailed offers, how good is their service?

Anyway, the product pictures is very great that for other usage.

PayPerPost :: Get Paid for Blogging, Blog Advertising, Advertise on Blogs

How important of blog nowadays?

Very important, because numbers of the blog would actually increase the brand awareness, particular when people search on Google.

Therefore, some brand owerners make the treats, and the agency helps them as well. Like this company links all the parties together, ask the blogger to write things for the brand, obviously it is about good thing.

It reminds me that my master project, product placement.
