Carl and Reece invite your questions Send your questions to:he lo@digitaldinos co uk Dear Reece and Carl Can we trust online customer reviews? I worry about falling for fake feedback and being ripped off. Naz you're right to be careful before purchasing a product online, naz recently, the consumer group,which? highlighted how businesses could employ online brokers to create customer reviews for their products in a separate survey, 8 in 10 shoppers believe they have read an inauthentic profile over the last twelve months however, change is afoot.the uk government outlined plans to combat this practice in the Queen’s speech earlier this year if the digital, competition and consumer Bill is introduced to parliament in the autumn this would have far-reaching consequences for consumers. in the meantime, here are a few tips to consider check spelling and grammar - are the reviews littered with spelling mistakes and grammatical errors? Beware profiles with generic names such as tom Jones that don't have a picture these can be auto-generated. look at other reviews - check for phrases being repeated multiple times, as companies will duplicate keywords in a bid to make these more memorable me and i? researchers found that brokers overuse verbs and the words 'me' and 'i' in an attempt to create more crediblelookreviews.atthedate of each revieworganisations that post their own reviews tend to schedule these to go live shortly after a launch.there have been cases where reviews have appeared Before a product launch. doh! are they a professional reviewer? if an individual rates every product with five stars this could be a warning sign that they have been paid to post. customer jacking - if you've seen a negative review that is accompanied with the details of a competitor's product then steer contactclearcarl and reece at: reece@hecarl@hewittmatthews.co.ukwittmatthews.co.uk

HOW I’VE FUTURE-PROOFED

By paul underwood, director earlier this year hmrc can randomly select you for a tax inquiry it may be that the sector you work in is facing a lot of scrutiny, as is currently happening with companies selling electronic sale suppression systems. or you may have filed your tax return late or it contained accidental errors.knowing why you are being investigated is the first step to understanding what the investigation will involve and how best to prepare.

full inquiries – if hmrc thinks that there is a strong chance your company has made a large-scale accountancy error or series of errors, they could look at all accounts, both business and personal. note that the first two inquiries can turn into full inquiries if hmrc find major inconsistencies or issues with your company accounts.

•

The penalties these come under different categories, depending on their seriousness and how the errors came about first, hmrc will apply a penalty based on whether you practised reasonable care in your tax affairs if you are found to have been negligent, you can face a penalty of up to 30% of the extra tax due next, hmrc will determine whether your mistake was a deliberate error. if you made no effort to conceal your fraudulence, the penalty can range from 20% to 70% of the tax owed. if you tried to hide the deliberate error, your penalty can range from 30% to 100%. in cases where tax as been deliberately unpaid, hmrc have a contractual disclosure facility.this gives individuals (not companies) the chance to give a full disclosure in return for immunity from prosecution if you are concerned about a possible investigation or feel you may be heading for a penalty, remember it is always best to be open and honest and to respond to hmrc as quickly and efficiently as possible

Types of inquiry • random checks – as the name suggests, these inquiries can open into the affairs of any business at any time.

What to Expect in a HMRCTax Investigation taxman images the times i have battled with my weight for nearly 30 years of my life, growing from a chubby toddler into an uncomfortably overweight child and teenager, before finally taking the battle into adulthood. By the time i reached my 30’s, i had already been working in an office environment for 8 years; gradually growing an extra dress size every 6 months. i realised that i couldn’t even run around the corner without being short of breath and close to tears. as i cried in the shower one evening i realised how sad i felt that these prime years of my life were being wasted. i was tired of crash dieting, feeling so unfit and making poor choices. something “clicked” in my head at that point which gave me newfound determination that by the time i hit 40, i would be in the best shape of my life! in June 2019, i joined my local slimming world group in leigh park, ready to commit to something different where i would be accountable for my choices every single week. i realised that i needed support to change both my eating habits and the pattern of behaviour ingrained in me since childhood. when i walked through the doors to attend my first slimming world group i can’t say i wasn’t sceptical that their weight loss plan would give me different results to the “one hit wonder” diets i had tried before. what gave me hope, however, was that this time i wasn’t looking for a quick fix; i knew this never worked in the long term and was starting to consider what i pictured for the rest of my life. when i sat down for my “new member talk” the consultant, Zoe, explained that slimming world was not a diet, it was a lifestyle change what surprised me most was being told that no foods are forbidden and you don’t even have to count calories! this was a hugely refreshing approach that i could see myself actually following. i also learned how to change my thought processes and behaviour so i would no longer give up on losing weight simply because i was having a bad day there was no judgement or someone bossy telling me what i should or shouldn’t do!

slimming world gave me an educated plan with which to make my own choices in order to improve both my weight loss and self-esteem.ihavebeen on my slimming world journey now for 3 years and can safely say that i’m in much better shape; physically, mentally and emotionally i’m very nearly at my final target weight which means i’ll then be able to continue attending group for free! this ongoing support is so important to me to ensure that i never go back to my previous weight. in the hope of inspiring others i have also become a consultant myself and will be re-launching the warblington slimmingworld group from 10/09/2022 my 40’s are going to be amazing! andafter MY 40’STO FEEL FIT & FABULOUS!

Being a nutritionist i see so many ailments and health complaints, but now more than ever i have had many clients diagnosed with high cholesterol. it seems like a common complaint i just want you all to know that this is very controllable, and you can significantly reduce cholesterol with foods if you make changes to your diet and wellbeing. it’s very easy to take a pill and get a magic fix, but you have to remember that all medication is toxic to a certain degree i am not saying ignore your doctor’s advice, but if you want to try the more natural route first it could save years of pill popping, and it’s probably simpler than you would imagine to make small changes and get a Big impact if it’s safe to do so, then why not ask your gp if you can go back in 28 days to have a re check and see where your levels are at. limiting the intake of the following foods will help:

What is involved in acting as an Executor?

• feeling sick, unusually tired or weak • digestive system problems, such as indigestiondiarconstipation,rhoeaor

Belcher Frost one of the first steps as an executor is to identify and then notify and deal with all the organisations where the deceased might hold assets - banks, building societies, ns&i, insurance companies, pension providers, share registrars and other companies. this may not be as simple as it sounds. each organisation has different requirements and processes and their own forms that must be completed in order to obtain the information needed to apply for the grant of probate (the official document giving the executor his or her authority). the executor then needs to complete various forms that go to hmrc if inheritance tax is payable and then apply, usually online via the probate registry’s portal, before the grant is issued. once the grant has been issued it must then be produced to the various organisations, so they must all be contacted again.this can involve more processes and paperwork, before the funds are paid to the executor, so he or she can then distribute them. whilst some processes are digitized, so documents and forms can be scanned electronically, legislation prohibits photocopies of death certificates being used or certified and more often than not, original signed forms still have to be provided to avoid fraud or misuse of the deceased’s funds. often dealing with the administration of an estate can prove too much for the executor, especially if he or she is a loved one, when it can become distressing, or if the executor has no experience in dealing with, or desire to deal with, paperwork and figures. it can be even more onerous if there is inheritance tax to pay or reliefs to claim.ifyou have been appointed as an executor and would like further guidance, please contact one of our solicitors if you are thinking about appointing an executor, your choice of executor is a very important part of your will, as you can see there is a lot of responsibility to administer your estate once you pass away ideally you should use a solicitor to make your will to ensure that it is clear and valid. details of your assets and how they can be accessed, could be left with your will and both held with us in our secure storage facility to make the job of administering your estate easier please contact one of our solicitors if you would like more information about making a will or assisting your executor with administering your estate when the time comes.

YES Trips Park at Wimbledon

On 28 June Miss Sexton and Mr Redman took students to the tennis at Wimbledon where they saw three amazing matches, including a three and a half hour closely fought match between Stefanos Tsitsipas and Alexander Ritschard. Stuents also got to see Great Britain s Heather Watson in action. Students and staff loved the Celebrating this year s mentoring partnership with Lippert Marine

On 14 July our Year 10 boys and their mentors from Lippert Marine celebrated the end of this year s mentoring sessions with a trip to Emsworth pool. The group had a fantastic afternoon in the sunshine experimenting with remote control boats and sailing. The Students have benefitted from fortnightly mentoring throughout the year and have really appreciated the time, advice and motivation their mentors have provided. Park look forward to continuing the partnership.

For the 4th year we have been running our holiday activity programme for families and young people. Lots of fun has been had by everyone. We have included a variety of experiences, including cooking, arts and crafts, specialists providing first aid training, yoga, glassmaking, film making, boot camps and much more. Our aim is to help everyone have a great summer, learn something new and make good memories.

Christopher Anders, Headteacher said: This is a great achievement for Susan recognising the many initiatives established over many years to benefit our students, the Leigh Park community and beyond. Susan loves to innovate and is always brave when pursuing an idea or Oneopportunity.ofthemost successful programmes is the Munch Community Food Programme established at the start of 2017 with just a few hundred pounds from local councillors. To date Munch has provided thousands of free hot meals to children and their families in the community. Another programme has been the holiday activity programme and every year well over 1,000 families benefit from the Connect4Families and Connect4Youth programme. Through Susan s actions the school is a true representation of what a community school offering an extended programme should be, and Susan embodies our ethos of being Much More Than Just a School .

elaine Jarvis village and meanders through countryside roughly parallel to the a27, but much more pleasant, passing various farms and woodmancote , then on to westbourne after which we dropped down under the a27 (again) to ride quiet rural roads to the underpass at warblington and havant. for those who count numbers, the ride registered twenty-five miles on my bike computer at an average riding speed of eleven miles per hour. twenty-five miles is nothing to a car driver and not huge by regular cyclists' standards, but to a newcomer it may represent quite an achievement, so,well done.

submitted for consideration by december the committee is also seeking support from local individuals and businesses who would like to sponsor an award and invite any interested parties to contact Bev cooper at: havantsports@gmail com andy henderson, supported by martine hebblethwaite and her husband phil led a well supported ride to west stoke in July as there were twelve riders in all, we split into two groups to reduce the size of our footprint on the road and limit any possible obstruction to motorists, one led by andy and the other by martine andy's planned route had to take into account road closures whether preplanned or emergency excavations so instead of taking the direct route up southleigh road we crossed the railway at new lane level crossing and then crossed again by the shared footbridge in eastern road to emerge in fourth avenue

By mike skiffins carefully crossing southleigh road to get on to the shared footpath we then crossed the busy horndean road before turning on to hollybank lane and into long copse lane through the woods providing a pleasant bypass to westbourne traffic, and on to aldsworth.after a short section on common road, climbing a short rise to aldsworth manor the route turned north passing fields of sweetcorn waving in the breeze, towards racton where were delighted to see alpacas grazing in the fields at adsdean.at funtingdon the route turned quickly off the B2178 on to a country road with passing places, ignoring the pig and poultry farms on the way and going through the shady trees at woodend with the parking place for walkers and ramblers for kingleyvaleandycalled out advice to be in a low gear or the rise to the major road and we turned left into west stoke our planned coffee stop gave us more time to chat with old friends and some newcomers who were not yet members of the ctc there is a policy of three trial runs with the club to allow new people to ride without committing to joining but for insurance purposes, i think, newcomers have to complete a simple form of contact details etc so, a chance to get to know new people and take photos over a tea or coffee before taking a different route for the returnafterjourneythebreak,andy led us on to lavant where we joined the centurion way formed from the disused railway line, down into the outskirts of chichester where we again crossed the real railway over another iron bridge to ride past the old roman palace at fishbourne and turn north to pick up clay lane which circuits fishbourne

By mike skiffins, portsmouth ctc Cycle ClinicCycle Clinic Q as a keen cyclist, i notice that you didn't mention how important it is for riders to always wear a helmet and visible high reflective cycle clothing for motorists to see any cyclist clearly on the roads. many riders wear dark clothing that camouflage them into the background which makes it more difficult for motorists to see and avoid. A i've seen families out together on their bikes, which is wonderful, but with young children in dark clothing and some parents without helmets. i've also seen parents with a child seat on the back of the bike with no reflective clothing for either the child or the parent. no government would pass laws defining what clothes we should wear, and we want to encourage cycling as an everyday pursuit, where normal clothes would be worn, of course unfortunately, the fashion industry tends to produce clothing in drab colours that don't show the dirt and inwinter, particularly, that tends to be dark Blue, greymention of the fashion industry, or more particularly the general public attitude to what other people are wearing reminds me that many people resent bright 'lycra clad' cyclists, although we are increasingly seeing people wearing close fitting gym clothes in public, so perhaps fashion is moving. you say that you are a keen cyclist, and most club cyclists tend to wear club colours but it is the everyday cyclist who doesn't want to wear special clothes just to pop out on their bike, and why should they? often such gear is expensive. it is the responsibility of all road users to take care and watch what they are doing, but i agree that if it is practical, cyclists should choose to slip on something bright to make themselves stand out on the road we nearly all choose to wear raincoats if it is raining, or likely to, for our own defence so why not a bright jacket or shirt of some kind? never mind your own protection, if you are transporting a child your responsibilities increase it would be a good idea if all cycle child seats were reflective bright yellow or orange for motorist to see clearly, but again, there is noalsolegislation.,i'venoticed that more cycle riders are using flashing lights on back & front during day as well as night times, but again this depends very much on the type of cycling although it is a great improvement to visibility you can see this is not an easy issue to tackle

Big Green Week

By Jonathan rogers ofvin wine merchants it seems to be that our tastes buds change when the weather changes. its hard work lying out in the sun, relaxing on a sunday afternoon so the main style of wine we seem to head for are light, fresh and crisp whites and rosé as opposed to the earthy or red berry fruit driven reds.when it’s the colder months the best wines to have in front of a roaring fire watching a black and white movie is of the full bodied varietywhen i talk about lighter wines i don’t necessarily mean lighter in alcohol. it’s the style of wine, the flavours and mouthfeel which i tend to refer to more.white wines can still be relatively high in alcohol, 13/14% for example but they can still taste light and fresh, although you may notice the high alcohol effect the next day as opposed to at the time of drinking. oak gives wine body and tannin but it also gives wine a sweeter, vanilla character which can sometimes hide the fullness.and don’t forget about chilling.this will strip flavour from the wine if you over chill however this can also benefit a wine if it lacks a bit on the flavour part. when choosing your lighter whites, you need to decide on whether you prefer the crisp, acidic and citrusy grapes like sauvignon or chenin, or the more rounded, softer and tropical fruit style grapes likeviognier and vermentino, or even the vanilla and creamy styles that chardonnay produces.thesame applies to rosé.there are a number of different styles that the wine world produces. from the sweeter californian white Zinfandel style to the pale crisp, dry provençal rosés. each have their own identity and are perfect for everyday drinking.

“…i had two implants done on the same day! no pain, just great looking teeth!” amir took me on as a 90 year old patient with five teeth and with a couple of ancient ill-fitting dentures. eating had become an uncomfortable and miserable process eventually amir advised the use of implants which were painlessly fitted and after several months of endless care and patience he produced a perfect fit for the new teeth.the transformation has been amazing as i can now again enjoy the simple pleasures of crunching an apple or chewing beefsteak. if you are recommended implants, struggle with the cost and go for it, you will never regret it, and you may be sure that amir will look after you very well” eric p “…at first i was very unsure, despite my denture becoming very tiresome, but i gradually gained confidence after speaking to amir, and eventually had implants. i’ve had no problems and said goodbye to the denture” “it’s been five years since having my implants.i’m over the moon with the results as i can now eat and smile without the worry of wearing a denture”
