First up – a great snapshot of life – real life, from the streets of Mumbai. It’s been a while since a DD shirt has been shot in Mumbai – around 9 years to be amazingly almost exact to the day since the last shirt shot from Mumbai.

uShip potential customers – beware. We recently contacted a service provider through a service called uShip. The concept of Uship seemed really good – a real dragons den of an idea – in essence, service providers (typically ‘van drivers’) bid on jobs posted by people who need stuff shifting. The concept, if it all goes smoothly is excellent. The customer… Read more →

Double helping of art

Published by on | Leave a response

We experienced two incredible and quite unique pieces of Yorkshire Art this weekend. The first being in the form of a play at Harrogate Theatre on Friday night. The Lighthouse on Shivering Sands.
