Recipe For Chocolate Tiffin With Dried Figs Recipe
I succeeded in creating this chocolate tiffin that closely resembled what we had in Scotland. It does not really qualify for recipe status as it is a matter of putting together ready-made ingredients. But, it is so moreish and a perfect treat.
Head straight on to the Recipe For Chocolate Tiffin ♥
Last year May, a local group of people started a travel information App. The service gave live time traffic reports which I found to be very helpful. The App allowed a trial period of 10 days and I was super impressed with it. For a small cost of R89 per annum I felt this was worthwhile getting. Unlike other annual subscriptions I have, this one does not automatically renew. There was a drop off in the communication and when I went into the App to see why I realized my year was up. For the convenience I decided to renew as the cost had not changed. A month ago I got this message from them:
Our current annual subscription rate cannot sustain our monthly costs and should we continue this way, we would have to close the operation. We have taken this under advisement and have decided that we need to switch to a monthly subscription of R35 via a debit order. Would you be willing to help us keep this project going by agreeing to this monthly subscription for the current services we supply?

My reply to them included a few points that I thought were salient. The one being that it was very convenient to get the messages popping up on my screen instead of me having to look at Google Maps for congestion, or the local traffic report on the internet. I felt that the monthly cost of R35 was not exorbitant but what did concern me is what would happen if they didn’t get a high enough conversion rate to the monthly charge? Personally I am not happy to sign a debit order and asked them to please email me an invoice each month, and I would pay via EFT. I also asked when they were changing over to the monthly subscription. The reply came back
We changed to the monthly subscription since the end of May this year and we are in better stability now since the end of May. But we still need 500 willing to pay per month so that we can make our services free for all and employ more operators and make us 24/7. You can EFT to (bank details provided). Please use your Cell Number as Reference and email your proof of payment
Upon reading this message I have decided not to renew my subscription. Firstly, I cannot see them getting 500 people to sign up if they have not already achieved that figure. And why are they offering a service free for all when I have to pay? But the fact that they were not willing to invoice me made me realize that this is not actually a business. And it is not a venture I think will succeed.
