Fishy tale in Golden Grimsby
Article Abstract:
Recent research indicates that the economy of Grimsby is flourishing, with 89.5% of its companies having made a profit in 1994. The local view that it is a good place to do business is becoming more widely held, and it has been heavily promoted by the Labour-controlled council. However, there are some locals who believe that high profit levels have been achieved at their expense. Many have only part-time work, and pay levels are low.

Pizza: a slice of lifestyle
Article Abstract:
Pizza restaurants which offer home delivery services are enjoying very strong demand, but increased competition means that they have to ensure that they deliver the food as quickly as possible. Special offers which are promoted through leaflets or on television can boost demand greatly, causing problems for kitchen and delivery staff. Delivering pizzas can be a stressful job, and staff are sometimes attacked.
