I'm going to start a podcast but also collect views for a website. I'm looking for people to interview, either face-to-face or via Skype. The starting question is: "Would You Move To Planet Earth?". There would have to be reasons why you need to leave your home planet now but the idea is to explore your thoughts about where our planet is now and where it might be heading. Are concerns hoaxes, critical or somewhere in between? I won't steer you with my views - it's your perspective that I want. You can contact me at mark.findlayrd@gmail.com. I promise to be patient, polite and appreciative, all rolled into one!

Reduced to Clear specialises in clearance food and general merchandise where customers can save up to 80% off normal RRP. It does this by purchasing end of lines, change of packaging, short-dated and cancelled export orders from local suppliers and then sells it to the public at heavily reduced prices.
The stock changes every day as they get new clearance stock in to sell. They have a range of frozen, chilled, and dry grocery lines and look out for the weekend specials as this is normally when all the yoghurts and specialty cheese are in stock.
They also stock the cheapest milk in town including the old fashioned silver top. By shopping at Reduced To Clear you know you are also helping save the planet as RTC saves thousands of tonnes of food from going to waste per annum.
