Perween and the curry factory
Article Abstract:
A supportive family background is very important when someone first sets up a business, according to Perween Warsi, who started S and A Food, which sells authentic Indian dishes, in her own kitchen. The company now employs more than 300 people and achieves turnover of 20 million pounds sterling a year from selling both in the UK and abroad. It has benefited greatly from the strong rise in interest in exotic foods. Most recently, it has linked with celebrity chef Ken Hom to produce a range of cook-chill Chinese dishes.

We've come about the books...
Article Abstract:
Janet Bates works for Derbyshire County Council as a debt recovery officer tracing long overdue library books. The county has 56 libraries and fifteen mobile libraries. If borrowers have books over two months overdue and have not replied to reminders, they can be threatened with legal action, but a debt recovery officer will call at their home before this happens. Bates hears a variety of excuses from readers for the delay in returning the books, but she is insistent on receiving them on the spot along with the fine.

Breaking up is hard to do
Article Abstract:
Annulling a marriage in the Roman Catholic Church can be a lengthy and complicated process. However, the Pope has now issued instructions for the procedure to be completed more rapidly. At present, it can take two-three years before a decision is made, mainly because the diocesan tribunals which deal with annulments have a very heavy workload. Many people withdraw from the process because they find it too demanding.
