RUYSPRICING POLICY

We offer 7 advert sizes across 9 booklets with 3 different booking periods & a choice

of over 50 distribution quantities.

This flexibility gives customers thewidest choice of advertising options in the region relative to their business size, type

& budget.

That level of choice does mean that with so many options available it is impossible to produce a standard rate card, therefore all enquiries are priced depending on the size

& frequency of advert & the number of areas required.

We do publish sample costs based on a single advert, single area booking as a guide

but this does not reflect the significantsavings available on multi-area bookings.

For a bespoke quote based on youradvertising requirements simply email or call.

Broken or Damaged Windows?Faulty Hinges, Handles or Locks?

Want The Latest Energy Saving Glass?All Glazing Backed By Our

5 Year Manufacturers Guarantee

Priority Freephone 0800 61 21118

...we make saving money perfectly clear...

STEAMED UP DOUBLE GLAZING?Don’t replace the Frames... just the Panes!

Cloudy2Clear Windows – Service With A Smile!It’s been a crazy few months for Cloudy2Clear Windows. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has grown rapidly as homeowners take advantage of their services. Managing Director Tony Telford feels that it’s all about service. ‘Our product is simple. If your double glazing is misted up we

can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 5 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving people money, although that obviously helps. Many tradespeople have struggled since last year and I honestly feel that during the good times a minority perhaps didn’t focus on customer care as much as they should have done. We make sure we turn up when we say we will,

do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. I often get comments back from customers on how they really didn’t expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole.’ Cloudy2Clear service Newcastle and the surrounding areas and Tony is finding that his approach is a major factor in his success. ‘The truth is that it’s not

just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family of people I’ve done work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated.’ So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Tony a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

There is no charge to the patients for the service that entails collecting and transporting the patients in a safe and comfortable environment from where they are living, taking them to where they will be having their treatment and, if required, staying with the patient whilst they have their treatment and then bringing them back home. The patient’s transport is a fleet of brand new Nissan NV 200 seven seater people carriers that are staffed by two persons, a Chauffeur and a Companion. The target/goal is to create a world-class organisation that is capable of transporting 50,000 cancer patients per year.If you are interested in becoming a VOLUNTEER either visit our website www.daftasabrush.org.uk to download an application form or send us a stamped addressed envelope to 3-5 Hood Street, 1st Floor Grainger Chambers, New-castle upon Tyne, NE1 6JQ or call in to our Hood Street office (we are between the Vivienne Westwood shop and the Newcastle Building Society branch on the first floor) to have an informal chat with one of our staff.

INDEX OF ADVERTISERSRIGHT UP YOUR STREET LEGAL MATTERS

by Jacqueline Emmerson

emmersonssolicitorswww.emmersons-solicitors.co.uk

Solicitors cost afortune so whyuse one? Collaborative

FamilyLawyerThis week I was in court again with a business

person who hates the legal system. The judges are rotten. The barristers are all stupid, and whilst I am a nice person they would do it all better. Which begs the question, why bother to instruct me at all, why not just handle their own divorce and financial settlement?

This made me ponder the value of a specialist family lawyer. Of course it costs money, and of course the more you disagree with your other half the higher the cost will be. It also costs quite a bit to go to the dentist, but would you fancy filling your own teeth? What I can offer is knowledge, amassed over a twenty year period. Clients are often in a state of confusion, panic and distress when they first come to see me. I can help them form a clearer picture very quickly. Whilst every case is different there are regular financial themes that occur. I know the relevant case law and what the likely outcome would be if the matter were to be heard by a judge. I know how to pitch an offer to try to reach a settlement that is workable. I like to think that I can offer creative financial solutions. All of this is what a client needs quickly so that they can move on with their life.

The legal process can be daunting. If a client is running a business that will probably have to be valued. Equally, if it is a new or, clearly not very profitable business then I would try to make sure that precious money was not spent on a valuation. Pensions may need to be

valued and advice given as to Pension Sharing. The correct level of maintenance needs to be agreed. In the long term it may be possible to pay a lump sum in lieu of maintenance, a clean financial break. Presenting a client’s case in the best way is crucial.

A divorce client is often going through one of the worst periods of their life. They can be very stressed. A lot of Emmersons Solicitors business clients are used to being in control of everything. They can therefore become very angry and frustrated if they are on the receiving end of divorce proceedings. However, appearing in court without a family law solicitor could be a disaster. They may be too emotional and quite often too aggressive to a judge. One client recently said that everyone in the court room was too polite to the judge. Luckily for him I had advised him not to speak! Thankfully he fol-lowed my advice and only addressed the judge after an order had been made in his favour. He doesn’t know how lucky he is.

So why instruct a solicitor?

Knowledge of the law, the procedure, the likely outcome. An ability to negotiate on your be-half, to be your voice, to protect you from your angry self, and to guide you through the legal process. Or you could borrow my pliers and take your own teeth out!

sprint rather than a marathon. To be fair, there will some of you out there who are well on the way to actually achieving the goals you set yourself as Big Ben chimed in the New Year and Auld Lang Syne was in full in voice. Please take the deserved plaudits. You are doing well.

For the majority who have already fallen at the first hurdle and failed miserably the best resolu-tion is probably to make no resolutions at all next time round. This means the self-inflicted pres-sure is lifted and we have more time and space to do what we want, when we want and if we want.

Happy New Year

OLD STARTFOR NEW YEARThe turkey has barely been digested and al-ready your resolve is beginning to breakdown.

Even the bicy-cle was probably dusted down and pumped up for a solitary outing. But has all this continued?

For the vast majority the answer will be a resounding negative as willpower has suc-cumbed to temptation and you have already slipped back into the old habits. Well, at least you made a token gesture and actually made some resolutions for 2013 and made a start.

But a start is about as far as most of us get. The finish line is never crossed as those new proposed lifestyle changes prove to be a quick
