This has got to be one of the best apps when travelling abroad, simply hold your phone up to a sign and the camera will immediately translate between English and Portuguese, German, Italian, French, Russian, and Spanish

my sincerest apologies Mick they are indeed free, I downloaded the app some time ago, thought might be useful but begrudged the significant cost of the language packs. thanks again and my apologies again.

It got an s4 too. Battery lasts a day unless I use sat nag for a journey over an hour and don't plug it in. Other than that it's a great phone.

May just have to get that app for the hell of it.

Don't ignore the power of facebook as a marketing tool. I was pretty slow on the uptake myself and in general find facebook a place full of inane comments.
Create a page for your business and pay to promote the page and some posts. When someone likes your page or post, their friends see it also, good exposure and branding. You also get the backlinks to your website which helps promote it up the rankings.
I dabble with adwords, a bit, but have achieved far better results with facebook for the same dollar.
Cheers
