BESPOKE SOFTWARE

Alternatively, grow some feverfew renowned in Western herbalism for preventing migraines. Chop the leaves and eat in a sandwich. Stop taking it if you get mouth ulcers or are pregnant. It may take several months for results to show, so you'd better start now.

Ailment: All you really, really want is for your computer to do what you want it to, not what whoever wrote the software thought you might like - and they've never even met you! But you've seen this 'bespoke' word before and you know that really means '££££'.

Diagnosis: You need to find a company that takes the time to understand what you want and to deliver it, within however many '££££' you agree and in such a way that you're not held to ransom by them every time you want to make a minor change.

Prescription: Give the Riplingham Group a call. We know how you feel, we used to have just the same headache and it was so annoying. But now we have a great programmer who is reasonably human. He's just the tonic you need!
