Brian from Knightsbridge writes:
For over 41 years my wife and I have worked together in a small but highly profitable family business. Last year we received an offer to sell out to a conglomerate, which seemed too good to refuse. Our chartered accountant, who has been a family friend since school, played an active role throughout the many months of difficult negotiations. He prepared all the financial statements and sat with us in many of the business meetings with the buyers. It is only fair to say that we relied heavily on his business acumen.

Linda from Wimbledon writes: “My beloved younger sister, now approaching 50, has great personality and looks like Elizabeth Taylor, but she has always been naïve with men. After her second divorce, she got engaged to a rich man who gave her lavish gifts including clothes, jewellery, a car and a mink coat. As an engagement present, he bought a yacht in the South of Spain in their joint names. They held a big engagement party at which they also received numerous gifts from friends.
