		<title>A beautiful view of low tax</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We have been asked to sell a lovely Swiss chateau near Geneva.  It will go for about 29,000,000 Swiss Francs.  It would be ideal for an English Prep School for expatriates &#8211; or an International American or French School.  If this is of interest, don&#8217;t hang about &#8230;..

2. Research also shows that companies with [...]]]></description>

		<title>FRUSTRATION!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We share the frustration of two of our vendors!
Why do buyers of language schools and international colleges all want only the ones in the South of England and London?  Why won&#8217;t they consider the excellent ones up North?  Northern colleges are often not only better value &#8211; but better. 
For example, we have a Northern college, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nursery fees: yet another silly decision</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After the shortest possible time, the Coalition&#8217;s new childcare minister has announced what was clearly a foregone decision &#8211; which is that she is going to do nothing at all.
Nurseries currently have either to opt out of the &#8216;Free Funding&#8217; voucher scheme.  Or accept it and lose money on every session they offer.
