Fancy Dress Costumes UK Comments On The Bishop Of Bolton’s Anger At Graphic Halloween Costumes
Press Release
18/10/09
The Bristol based online retail outlet, Fancy Dress Costumes UK, has today issued a response to the Rt Rev David Gillett, the Bishop of Bolton, Lancashire.
Earlier this month the Bishop issued a plea for retailers to stock less of the ’scary’ Halloween costumes and go for a more general fancy dress costumes range for everyone this year. The ongoing and increasingly widespread debate over the fate of trick or treating behaviour, along with certain high profile figures in the UK asking for the public to vote with their purses on the issue of scary Halloween costumes, leads me to the belief that we are seeing a backlash against the US commercial hijack of this once pagan festival.
The use of TV and film advertising over the years has led us all to a belief that Halloween is a scary night, not for the faint of heart. The roots of this night of Hollywood terror are in an ancient festival called samhain, literally summers end. The loss of this knowledge and the years of blatant commercial horror have allowed the connections of the past to be lost.
The owner and manager of Fancy Dress Costumes UK Mr. M Watson is quoted saying “I don’t often have cause to be in agreement with the church but on this particular issue I have some agreement” he said today. He went on to say “That we all might take a step back from the accepted norm and rethink our part in this celebration, which is really what the night is about, is a good thing. The costume aspect of the night is extremely important to all who take part these days and I don’t think anyone is suggesting that that part should change. The emphasis needs to shift from horror to ladies fancy dress and men’s fancy dress with children being encouraged to dress in costumes that make them happy.”
The range of fancy dress costumes available this year has surpassed last year. There are so many options that we all can be forgiven for staying with the old habits when the choice seems to be overwhelming. But this researcher is suggesting that we investigate everything from Alice in Wonderland Fancy Dress to Army Fancy Dress and beyond. Many a party this year will have the same traditional outfits so why not try something new and find that unique costume that no one else will be wearing.

Suaju.com – Leaders in Lean Software Outsourcing
BRISTOL, October 8th 2009 –
Suaju Ltd, one of the UK’s top LEAN software outsourcing companies has yet again shown that it is at the front of the field with regard to innovative software outsourcing and global software solutions. Their recent appearance at the LEAN Government Conference at Central Hall Westminster in London puts them at the top of their field. The conference held on the 30th September 2009 brought together leading innovators and many of the leaders in influential thought with regard to Lean software management such as:
Sir Michael Bichard, Director, Institute for Government
Greg Hands MP, Shadow Economic Secretary to the Treasury
Graham White, Director of HR, Westminster City Council
Ben Jupp, Director of Public Services Strategy and Innovation, The Cabinet Office
Keith Davis, Director of Efficiency Practice, National Audit Office
Suaju’s appearance at the conference has shown how the UK based company is forging ahead with its credibility in the software outsourcing sector. The concept of Lean thinking as applied to software development is a relatively new approach.
According to Wikipedia:
It holds that ‘everything not adding value to the Customer is considered to be waste’. This would include such factors as
* unnecessary code and functionality
* delay in the software development process
* unclear requirements
* bureaucracy
* slow internal communication
To complement this Suaju have appeared in the October edition of the Public Servant Magazine in the LEAN government section below Sir Michael Bichard’s Article.
Because Suaju are based in the UK and represent their clients to the global workforce, the usual issues associated with software outsourcing are no longer a headache for their clients. The biggest concerns flagged by software outsourcing contracts are the language barriers and lack of transparency in the pricing structures presented at the inception of the project. This last objection has lead to unexpected costs being presented at the 11th hour, causing real budgeting issues when a project is close to completion. None of this is an issue when Suaju are involved. For each project Suaju keeps a technical and non-technical presence in the UK (with the current approximate ratio being of 1:3, i.e. 1/3rd in the UK and 2/3rd overseas) so the client does not need to deal with any issues overseas.
The use of distributed teams of developers that spans the globe means that costs can be reduced. The secondary effect this can have is that the actual spend can be broadened past the actual software production into other areas that can sometimes be overlooked due to budgetary constraints. Areas such as future proofing, help and support services and maintainability of the software. How many companies have produced excellent software that fulfills all its design brief requirements but falls short at the end user functionality? Suaju have such a range of expertise to bring to this field that their combined knowledge has often flagged some of these issues at inception rather than after release – a massive bonus for their clients.
The conjunction of Suaju and Lean thinking can only be seen as a valued move forward in the world of software development. Those shrewd enough to spot this as a time and cost saving innovation will jump on the opportunity to work with Suaju and the adoption of Lean thinking principles.
Suaju can currently be seen attending at the Outsourcing Institute ‘Outsourcing 2.0 from Theory to Reality’ event sponsored by Morrison Foerster (MoFo) in London 8th October.
Suaju attended the working knowledge event ‘City of Bristol College Plunge 23rd September 2009′ giving advice on strategy and operations.
Suaju attended the Technology World Road Show at the Aztec West Hotel, Bristol this is a build up for the TechnologyWorld09 to be held on the 23-24 Nov 2009 at the Ricoh Arena Coventry UK. This event is supported by the UK Trade & Investment (UKTI).
As a result of Suaju exhibiting at the DSEi Suaju’s presence has increased in the Defence market leading to be successful event.
Complementary Lean Consultation
Suaju are currently attending companies by invitation for a live complementary consultation, analysing a particular business/function/process area for example the companies booking system, risk management process or one of their software processes and actually providing a Lean implementable solution.

Press Release
01/10/09
The new and growing fancy dress Retail Company Fancy Dress Costumes U has announced the addition of a nursery rhyme and Fairytale collection to its ever expanding range of costumes for all occasions. These however cater for the grown-ups; C.E.O. Mr. Mark Watson said today “…the kids have it their own way for far too long, now we have redressed the balance with these exceptional additions to our ever growing range of outfits.”
The internet based costume company, based in Bristol, has been expanding ever since its launch. These new costumes have been introduced after extensive market research found that adults as well as children find the idea of dressing in Queen of Hearts Fancy Dress or Alice In Wonderland Fancy Dress just as appealing as children.
The range extends beyond the confines of standard costumes and reaches back into the childhood nostalgia that we have for nursery rhymes and fairytales. The costumers we spoke to assured us that the requests over recent years for these type of costumes had increased, more so as people have been asking if there are adult sizes.
The approach of Halloween means that many of us are trying to decide what to wear on this important costume occasion. The range, style and choice on offer to the British public is staggering, many are still searching for that unique fancy dress outfit to steal the show with at their chosen party. These fairytale and nursery rhyme costumes will help in that search.
For more information anyone wanting to buy these costumes they should visit www.fancydresscostumesuk.com and view the ‘Fairytale and Cartoon Fancy Dress’ section. Where the extensive range of costumes will take care of all the costume requirements you could possibly have. They look forward to your visit and helping you to achieve the most spectacular costume for your fancy dress occasion.
