Hey everyone :)

To help the commercial awareness side of things, we had an idea. Each week we'll be taking in suggestions for a commercial awareness article. A maximum of 4 topics will get put into a poll which you can then vote on. We'll then write an article on the highest voted topic.

To kick us off, please post your suggestions in this thread. Tomorrow evening we will decide which topics to put in a poll.

Hi! I would propose something on the recent budget. I came across this when I was doing my commercial awareness stories but I found it a little confusing!
