Cool Clubbing in Windsor

After a few lame years Windsor is back on the nightclub map.

Erotique at the Vanilla Bar is proving a massive hit and was reviewed to great acclaim in the Guardian Guide this weekend.

Congrats to Vanilla bar and to Oliver Lang for "whipping up a packed crowd into a rare old tizz"

Is 'free introductory workshop' all that it seems?

Like us, many local residents may have received an invitation to an 'Inside Track' property investment seminar in Windsor on Wed 26th March.

Before attending it may be worth your while to read the following Guardian newspaper article :

http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2007/mar/02/money1

In addition we took a look at
http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/mortgages/homesabroad/article.html?in_article_id=420738&in_page_id=505

Also the ASA adjudication on a previous mailing is interesting

Personally, I will not be attending this seminar.
