Today browsing for jobs online is continually one of the most popular internet trends, constantly in the top 5 along with holidays/travel and one of the main contributing factors why the sales of newspapers have declined more than 750 million copies since the early 1990's and continue to do so today:
Trinity chief executive Simon Fox said in February 2016: "Over a million people have stopped buying a newspaper in the past two years but we believe a large number of them can be tempted back with the right product'' Their NEW DAY tabloid launched in that very same month, was closed down by them just nine weeks later!
Research also shows that recruiters prefer niche jobsites, rather than national ones, as these return better results, one of the reasons why now more than 70% of all East Yorkshire businesses regularly have recruitment adverts featured here with Bridjobs. This includes one of the region's larger employers Ebuyer Howden incorporating Wren Kitchen & Bedrooms.

NOOK EBOOKS CLOSES
Nook is pulling out of the UK and transferring its UK customers to Sainsbury's.
The e-reader and tablet company owned by American bookselling chain Barnes & Noble told customers it would stop trading in the UK, effective as of 15th March 2016, via a notice posted on its website 3rd March.
It read: "Effective from March 15, 2016, Nook will no longer sell digital content in the United Kingdom. The Nook Store on Nook devices sold in the UK, on the UK Nook Reading App for Android, and at nook.com/gb will cease operation."
The agreement with Sainsbury's means customers can continue to access "the vast majority" of already purchased e-books through a Sainsbury’s Entertainment on Demand account. The process is not automatic for customers, however, who were told their "action is required" and to look out for emails with instructions how to transfer books. The company said it was "working closely with Sainsbury’s" to make the transition "as smooth as possible".
Blackwell's and Foyles have not been selling Nook e-readers and tablets in their stores for some months, perhaps this is the reason why? Go here for full article, published 4th March 2016 at THE BOOKSELLER:

FEBRUARY FOCUS - Dads Army Movie
Saturday 6th February 2016 I attended the first weekend on release cinema showing of Universal's latest blockbuster DADS ARMY.
It was back in the Autumn of 2014 that I was on the set in Bridlington Old Town, during the weeks this was being filmed.
I have visited the seaside town of Bridlington in East Yorkshire every year since 1957 and had a home there too since 2004. However the unexpected star of the show was the village bay a few miles north east, that being my most favourite of all childhood places, FLAMBOROUGH. The last scenes of the movie (and the most gripping ones) were all shot on North Landing Beach, in the bay which is as exquisite and charming as the movie!
So all I have left to say on this month's Blog is that if you have a 'bucket list' of things yet to do, either add to it:
A /. Visit North Landing, Flamborough, East Yorkshire (taking in Flamborough Head and Bridlington along the way).
OR
B /. See Dads Army The Movie (taking in a barrel of laughs and a trip down memory lane along the way).
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ARE BOTH!
