Pop-up shop for the homeless goes global Good news on the CSI front is that The Street Store, a local pop-up shop for the homeless has gone global - from China to Cape Town, Brussels to Bangladesh, Florida to France, Mexico to Melbourne. Whether you use the service or not, you're still paying. It has been revealed that the Gautrain is milking taxpayers of millions. Yet another burden on an already overtaxed taxpayer. When it comes to saving your business, timing is everything. Many people would rather walk down a street starkers than stand up and address a conference venue full of people. So here's some advice that will help you avoid the public speaking willies. Shan Radcliffe, Group Head - Retail (@Biz_Retail)
