Advertiser’s announcement Enjoy a conservatory all year round! Why would you spend a five figure sum on something you never use? Why would you create extra space in your house for your family to expand into, but then use the space to store unwanted and unloved furniture? These are questions many conservatory owners will have asked themselves over the years. Brand new, their conservatories may have cost anything from £3000 to £15,000 but many of them will have been used far less than the new owners would have predicted. Why? It’s simple. When the sun’s out, conservatories become greenhouses! The sun’s radiation penetrates the large area of glass with ease but then dissipates slowly, resulting in suffocatingly hot temperatures for its occupants. However, when the sun’s hidden and the outside temperature drops into single figures, the conservatory acts like a fridge, with any available internal heat being lost through the uninsulated roof. Sound familiar? If the temperature of your conservatory is difficult to regulate, there is a solution. Your Choice can convert the roof to incorporate a high level of insulation with either colour-matched custom roof panels or even topped off with slates! It’s a painless conversion, with the new roof being fitted to the existing structure in two days or less! There is no planning permission required and the results are stunning, both in looks and in comfort. Finally, you will have the conservatory you dreamt of and it will keep you cosy all year round. It also defeats the relentless drumming of even light rain which seems to fall in ever- increasing quantities. And when the sun does appear, you won’t get any of the retina-melting glare which renders TVs, laptops and iPads virtually useless. If your conservatory stays closed off for large parts of the year because you’d need a complete change of outfit to venture in, give Your Choice a call on 0800 169 48 22. Get a quote for a roof conversion and finally get a conservatory you can use all year round, whatever the weather. 8 www.lymmlife.co.uk July 2014

The banks do offer wealthy clients financial advice, by giving access to wealth managers. However there is usually quite a high minimum amount of capital that you need before the wealth manager will even see you. I have seen some banks quoting £250k and even £500k. How times have changed.

What this has done though is leave a huge void in the market place for ordinary customers of these institutions who have say £100k in an investment or £200k in a pension with them. This is because now you have to go and get your own advice on the way forward. This is not all bad news though, because in most people’s opinions the banks never were outstanding when it came to investment advice anyway.

Do you remember the days when you would walk into your bank and be hounded to discuss investments? They would try to sell you anything from an Investment Bond to a Stocks & Shares ISA. And then there are structured products. Barclays for example are reportedly ‘sat on’ literally billions of pounds of clients structured products funds. Now here is the problem, the banks have all but gone out of giving investment advice. So if you have been advised to have one of these investments in the past, then there is no nobody left there to give you ongoing advice. And if the structured product is due to mature then they can no longer advise you what to do with the maturing proceeds.

THERE was plenty of British Bulldog spirit at the annual Lymm May Queen Festival as villagers showed their true colours for the Queen’s birthday, the 100th anniversary of World War One and the World Cup. The village was transformed into a sea of red white and blue with plenty of Union Jacks on show as Eleven-year-old Esme Stevens was crowned May Queen while eight-year-old Zoe Thompson was crowned Rose Queen. Both elected Queens attend Oughtrington Primary School. Town Crier Peter Powell used the occasion to unveil his brand new uniform, designed by students at Liverpool University, which took six months to make. The parade was led by members of Lymm Royal British Legion and special guests included Warrington South MP David Mowat.
