I was looking around at garage flooring and found this website called cayguygarage.com that has a range of floor tiles and other flooring solutions. They have a good range of grated garage flooring that is perfect for workshops and garages. It is slip resistant when wet and not affected by hot tyres. It also comes with a 12 year warranty and free delivery within the US.

In his first major speech on the environment Gordon Brown has suggested introducing cash incentives for retailers who offer green alternatives to plastic carrier bags. One idea is to cut the VAT on long-life carrier bags to give retailers a financial reason to switch. He hopes that this would encourage to the elimination of single use bags in favour of longer lasting alternatives.

It has emerged that some phone companies are charging customers as much as £195 reconnect their phone when they move house. Previously phone companies could charge people to connect their phone when they moved to a newly built property. Now many customers can sign up for a land line service from a firm who rents the line from BT. The problem with this is that when customers want to switch companies when they move house they are charged £125 to make the switch at the local exchange. Some so called exit fees work out as much as £195.

This is an interesting concept but so simple it make me wonder why all pizza places don’t already do it. Papa John’s restaurants in the US have started taking pizza orders by text. You first have to register online to create an account; you can then set up several favourite orders that you can text in, anytime you are feeling a bit peckish. I wonder whether this will take off in the UK.

If you still haven’t managed to get your hands on a Wii and were hoping for one for Christmas you may be disappointed. Nintendo has warned that there is a chronic shortage of consoles. High street retailers have been struggling to keep up with demand of the ever popular console which has been in short supply since it was released. Websites such as wii-consoles.co.uk have even been set up to let people know when stock does become available. Without sounding too smug, I am very happy with my Wii.

In a new idea the next Jersey Royal potato crop could be washed in rainwater collected on the island. A Bartlett and Sons have applied for permission to water a treatment plant to collect rainwater from the plants roof which they would then use to wash the potatoes. The soil from the potatoes would then go back onto the land. They claim that rainwater will give the potatoes an even better taste and say that by washing and packing the potatoes on the island they will be much fresher when they reach the plate of the consumer.

A new fleet of hydrogen powered buses has recently been purchased for the London transport network. The fleet will include 10 buses in a deal worth around £10m. They will come into service in 2010. The buses produce no pollution or carbon dioxide and are clean and efficient. The mayor hopes that by 2015 around 5% of all public sector fleet vehicles will be hydrogen powered.

I found this website that sells a range of paintball packages.
