Are you being served? You will be at Daniel

Article Abstract:

Daniel is a traditional department store in Windsor, England, founded by Walter James Daniel in 1901. The family-run store sells toys, prams, drapery, kitchenware and clothes for older women. It stocks a far wider range than modern chain stores with computer systems, which rely on ordering through buying groups. Personal service gives staff knowledge of customers' needs. The store has branches in Ealing, Newbury, Cardiff and Ebbw Vale.

The latterday battle of Hastings

Article Abstract:

The East Sussex seaside resort of Hastings is generally seen as a quiet, genteel place to which may people retire. However, it has a very high suicide rate, with around 20 suicides in the Hastings area every year. The town now has a Registered Mental Nurse who is responsible for caring for people who have attempted suicide. She devises a 'package of care' for each patient, linking with health and social services.
