Bricks and mortar, isn't it a building society that specialises in mortgages?
Dotcom companies, I'm guessing these are companies that only exist online e.g. there are no offices with call centres and representatives, so the only way to do business with them is online. Unless it emphasises the "com" bit which is normally an american hosting?

Hi
What happened to your rep?
Have you been naughty? 
Unit 2 is the multiple choice about government failure, right? First of all learn all your definitions - market failure, government failure, merit/demerit/public goods, etc. So easy to lose these few marks! Secondly, read up on education (e.g. HE funding changes of 2006, the cost of uni rose to 3000 but you can pay back later) and whether you think the government was successful in attracting people into HE. Also study your NHS - always in the news. NHS is obv. regulated b government, it could be more efficient but less affordable if it were independent so is the government doing a good job? Since you mention minimum wage, that and rent ceiling are other ways to regulate free markets. The min wage issue relates to low-skilled jobs so that those who are desperate to get a job wouldn't be exploited. But that menas businesses can afford to hire fewer workers so more workers are unemployed - good for those with jobs (more money) but bad for those out of job (surely they would rather earn £2 an hour than nothing). Also min wage makes it more difficult for UK to compete with newly inustrialised economies like China. So a few issues with that. Etc etc etc

If you don't mind me asking, how are you definitely going to Bath for 2008 entry having done your A-levels already
I applied and got in for 2006, but I couldn't afford it (£18K a year upfront) so I'm waiting for 2 years to get my citizenship and lower tuition fees and student loans and grants and stuff. Bath deferred my entry at a very short notice and said that I should call them next autumn to defer for one more year. That's how

Tanusha-tomsk you never surprise me EVER. Anyways, congratulations on getting into Bath. I'm just hoping I can get into Lancaster or Durham. Need to wait for offers though. Anyways, congrats again.
Err not sure how to take that - is that supposed to be a compliment or are you being sarcastic? Stupid inernet
Thanks, I was delighted to get an offer and make my grades.tanusha-tomsk
