Have a break and stay in luxury
by theadmin on Oct.15, 2013, under Accommodation, Travel
Until 2013 the highest view of London was seen from the south of River Thames by the 443 feet London Eye, the first largest Ferris wheel ever in Europe visited by nearly 3.5 million people annually. Quite definitely eye catching given to its enormity as you can see an elephantine ‘bicycle wheel’ spin in reverie if it were to have a soul in the midst of London’s skyline – looming over in many tourist photo back grounds. This tourist hot spotter was opened in 1999 by the Prime Minister, Tony Blair. Though it no longer provides the highest view it is one of the icons that illuminate the London skies every night and also every New Year is accompanied with a display of fireworks from the wheel itself. Also this colossal icon was privileged to participate in the commemoration of the sixtieth anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II where it had one of its passenger capsules named as the Coronation Capsule.
“The Eye has done for London what the Eiffel Tower did for Paris, which is to give it a symbol and to let people climb above the city and look back down on it. Not just specialists or rich people, but everybody. That’s the beauty of it: it is public and accessible, and it is in a great position at the heart of London”. – Sir Richard Rogers, winner of the 2007 Pritzker Architecture Prize.
The wheel spins at 0.9 km/h and one revolution takes about 30 minutes. It has 32 capsules each weighing 10 tons that can carry 25 passengers. Despite its slow moving speed the wheel does stop in order to assist elders and the slow. The wheel is decorated with LED lights that can be digitally operated.
A new 4D Experience and ticketing hall has been designed as a pre flight agenda for the visitors.
Ideal to accompany your short stay is a short 30 minute tour where you can enjoy panoramic views of London. If you have children, the view of over whelming scenic London is recommended, after all the thought of spinning in an elephantine ‘bicycle wheel’ would be elating enough for a youngster. London Eye is one of the attractions in London, a well budgeted stay at a self catering accommodation such as Holiday Lets London will leave more room in your wallet to visit other attractions we have mentioned such as the Westminister Palace , Globe Theatre, Big Ben etc.
Holiday Lets London is one of the many London Holiday studios but stands out as one of the best due to its popularity in easy booking, trust worthy payments and yes off course the best flats for rent in London for the price you pay.

When looking to buy a marquee as well as looking at the materials used you should also look at the design and functionality of the marquee
by theadmin on Aug.05, 2013, under Business, DIY Marquee, Marquee Hire
Marquees for sale are available in a range of sizes and a range of qualities. The better quality marquees use thicker steel framework (34mm upwards) and PVC covers rather than PE or poly/PVC. The weight of the PVC material used on the marquees (measured in gsm -grams per square metre) is an indication of the thickness but not the quality, the true strength of PVC comes from the inner core material before it is coated.
When looking to buy a marquee as well as looking at the materials used you should also look at the design and functionality of the marquee. With a good design additional bracing can make a marquee stronger eliminating the need for a thicker framework. Having interchangeable side panels can give much greater functionality so a marquee can be tailored for any site on which it is erected.
Throughout the world marquees are referred to as party tents but in the UK the term party tents usually refers to smaller marquees 3m, 4m or 6m wide made from steel tube. Party tent style marquees can usually offer a stronger but more economical alternative to traditional larger marquees – party tents for sale
Marquee accessories like linings, lighting and flooring can transform a marquee from a shelter to an impressive temporary structure suitable for any party or event. It is worth researching the availability of replacement parts to ensure you will not be let down in the future for the want of one damaged component.

Don’t be lonely again – Rent a friend for the night
by theadmin on Jul.26, 2013, under Business, Companion Service, Meet And Greet Services, Personal
A friend recommended I rent a friend from Dukes of Daisy as I needed an active and adventurous companion to accompany me on a weekend away. Dreading the thought of going away with other friends on my own I decided to give it a go.
I chose Duncan aged 41 as he described himself as active, caring and similar interests to me and the kind of person I would like to spend time with.
I highly recommend Dukes of Daisy as the person Duncan turned out to be was the exact person described to me. There were no hidden agendas, no expectations so I felt relaxed from the outset. He was sociable, polite and the best thing about Duncan is that he really knows how to treat a lady and make her feel special. He was easy to talk to as he is well educated and knowledgeable of world affairs.
The next occasion was a wedding and I needed a partner, I didn’t hesitate to book Duncan again and to my delight he’s a great dancer so lots of fun was had by us.
I rent Duncan from Dukes of Daisy on a regular basis as I have got to know him and feel comfortable and confident with him to partner me to any function.
RUMM Energy Management Solutions & Savings – In partnership with RPC
by theadmin on Jul.26, 2013, under Business, Energy Management
The RPC Group is Europe’s leading manufacturer of rigid plastic packaging. With just under 50 autonomous sites in 12 countries, the company employs in excess of 6,500 people.
RUMM was asked to investigate energy usage at RPC’s Llantrisant plant and provide solutions and suggestions for reducing the annual energy bill.
Following the completion of the aM&T system, where 17 meters were installed across the site, a benchmarking exercise then took place in order to ascertain where energy was being used and equally where it was being used non-efficiently. (energy management UK)
RUMM and RPC then engaged in an energy management partnership to achieve savings. This included regular weekly meetings to discuss options that could save the company money.
Site analysis was carried out based on production output, SEC and this was benchmarked to reduce consumption.
As a result of the measures put in place, energy consumption in the first 5 months dropped from 1354528 kWh to 1131995 kWh, with specific energy consumption reducing by 14%. This equated to a £120k saving in the first year alone.
