A couple of times in the last year I've arranged to meet clients over lunch, and have picked up the bill. I'm happy to do this but what I'd like to know is, can I include the cost as a business expense for tax purposes? I'm not talking anything elaborate here (more's the pity!), just £40-50...

The idea of the surrounding/supporting arms is good and I like the top left version best. How about curving the crossbar of the f up slightly, and putting a small gap in where the curve of the p meets the ascender? It might give it a little more balance but you'd need to make sure the f and p...

I don't subscribe to any printed mags but scan them for articles that I'm interested in or will find useful. If there are enough, I'll buy. If not, it goes back on the shelf. I usually get the "special" issues, like Creative Review's best-of-the-year etc.
