Sunday, June 27th, 2010Gold up 500% in 5 years – guarding your assets
Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010I was amazed to see that gold prices have gone up to 5 times what they were just a few years ago.
This is reflected in the many adverts promising cash-for-gold, but it is also sadly spurring an increase in crime. Gold is easy to fence – you just stick it in the prepaid envelope and they send you a cheque…
If you have a large range of gold jewellery, it might be worth considering buying a safe in which to keep it, rather than trusting a rather too portable jewellery box.
If you want to keep your liquid assets protected from casual burglary, or even rather more determined attacks, please give us a call. And whatever you do, don’t buy a cheap digital safe! Contact an expert for guidance.
Thinking of training as a locksmith?
Monday, June 7th, 2010Thinking of training as a locksmith?
Thinking you’ll be getting rich quick, due to the “national shortage” the locksmith training firms are shouting about?
For a little perspective, I did a search, and, in brackets after the link, you will see how many testimonials, names or companies there are for each training school…

http://www.safeopenings.com/locksmith_training/ (100+ – membership of their organisation the NNAL is 750+ http://www.nnal.co.uk/forum/memberlist.php?mode=joined&order=ASC&start=750 )
http://www.thelocksmithtrainingcompany.co.uk/guestbook.htm (lots)
http://locksmithstrainingcentre.co.uk/ (specifically names 34 large organisations such as hospitals, police, councils, and the Army)

And then I gave up, not having the heart to go beyond the FIRST page of Google’s search results.
Even ignoring the apparently insane number of members of the NNAL trained by safeopenings.com in Birmingham, or trained up by thelocksmithtrainingcompany.co.uk, we get 7+6+33+23+4+8+44+34+8+4 or 171 new “locksmiths” testimonials.
And every single one of them is there for you to see for yourself. Now consider how many people never bother to give a testimonial, and how many have trained just in this last week.
Still want to waste your £2000?
Oh, and plumbing is full as well.
