Advice To PayPal
For many months you have bombared me with invitations to apply for your interest free credit facility.

Guys, please don't waste people's time inviting them to apply for something that you have no intention of granting!

M&S Proifts Fall 17%
The pre-tax profits of M&S tumbled by 17% to £176.5m on total sales down 2.1% to £4.86bn.
Like-for-like sales in clothing and home fell by 5.5% during the six months to 30 September, worse than the expected 4.3% drop.
However, like-for-like sales in food grew by 0.9%, ahead of a forecast 0.3% rise.
M&S need to consider spinning off their food business into a stand alone business, and facing the reality that they are no longer a clothing retailer.

KPMG To Shut Private Members' Club
KPMG appears to be facing a financial squeeze, as it is preparing to shut down its private members’ club in Mayfair
and move staff to Reading as part of efforts to trim £100m in costs.
The Telegraph reports that KPMG is exploring plans to close the five-storey townhouse at 20 Grosvenor Street, which boasts a rooftop terrace, restaurant and private meeting rooms.
KPMG will also transfer most of its marketing department from Canary Wharf to Reading.
It is understood that around 50 roles were placed at risk of redundancy as a result of the restructure.
Known as Number Twenty, the facility was set up only four years ago to entertain clients.
