Shoreditch - Silicon Ditch - is a great area to work - it has a great buzz and creativity - and living is not too expensive if you head further into east london - you don't have to live in west london, which admittedly is too pricey.

This is not quite right: 1. In the UK you are not required to work three months after giving notice unless it is a provision of your contract of employment. If you don't have a written contract - then you will be entitled to a statutory not

Yes but Silicon Ditch definitely evokes the grimey feel of Old Street. A founder of Huddle described Silicon Valley as Reading (UK) but with sun and palm trees. Even if you filled Old Street with sun and palm trees - it would still be grime

NB: not sure why I got down votes on this post - if an investor has put $ into a company, then he can't just pull it out at short notice unless the shareholders agreement allows for this. If you put cash in, you put it in. It won't come out

Really easy to forget this stuff so thank you. When I feel the answer to my success lies with other people I tend to overask. When I am confident my success lies with me my perspiration andinspiration, and a little luck, then I'm less like

My wife has a beautiful friend who wants to marry a nerdy guy... her phrase . So your strategy could pay off! There's a great song by an English band: "sit down next to me" by James, which works for me when I feel dorky.

Yes. If there is one universal truth in the land of parents with newborns, it's that you'll get a sore back. Especially when you have to spend hours leaning over as they hold your fingers learning to walk. I'm now friends with my physio!

1. It's the best thing ever. Do it when your ready but if your ready younger that's great. You need all the energy you can get. If I could have done it younger I would. 2. I only felt truly grown up when I became a dad at 43.there's someth

1. Keep the investment, assuming the shareholders agreement provides for this. Do not jeopardise your cash position for the emotional convenience. 2. Instruct a lawyer to commence filing suit for breach of employment contract. This usual
