Home Plumbing - Julian Bridgewater

HomeServe Plumbing and drainage cover

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Worse than money for no cover, makes you think you have cover whilst the problem gets worse!

HomeServe plumbing and drainage cover advertises a two hour response time. After a month, more than five hours on the phone, two days off work, and hours writing letters asking what was going on, HomeServe decided that my policy did not cover the leaking tank in the attic. I had been able to tell them exactly what the problem was on day one. This was despite (eventually) two engineers who eventually came and said that it would be 'no problem'. The first said he was not fully qualified. Had to wait a couple of weeks for the second. Both had to be provided with ladders and the first did not even carry a torch, all this for a well-described leaky tank in an attic. Over the month I have been promised dozens of call backs that never materialised and had to find out myself after nearly a further week of silence that they had decided ...

Review of HomeServe

A good start from Julian

Advantages: Easy read and enjoyable subject matter
Disadvantages: A bit of an obvious lead character

This is Julian Clarys debut novel and a fairly good read it is. Plot ---------------- Johnny Debonair (aka JD, aka Johnny D!) grows up with his slightly odd mother and no father in Kent before being taken to stay at his Grandmothers in London when his mother gets a little too 'odd'. It's here that Johnny begins to get a sense of himself through his Grandmothers more focused attention. Johnny moves back home and embarks on a relationship with the local high society boy before heading to Drama School. This quickly takes a peculiar turn when his new flat mate Catherine, introduces him to a dark and seedy new profession. As Johnny's life begins to get more and more macabre he is suddenly given an opportunity to start on TV and he quickly becomes the best thing to hit the screen. But a dark past never stays hidden for long ...

Review of Murder Most Fab - Julian Clary

Le Meridien Hotel, St. Julian's - Malta

Advantages: Staff, Facilities, Location
Disadvantages: Lift speed.

On my recent holiday to Malta i stayed in Le Meridien Hotel, located in Saint Julian's. I would not normally have stayed in a 5 star hotel, but I was lucky enough to win some money towards a holiday from the company that I work for. Obviously, with free money, you are going to push the boat out a bit, and I am glad we did!! Location/Area We arrived at the hotel in the dark, quite late on a Friday night. The taxi brought us round a few small streets and then up quite a steep hill, thus bringing us to the reception of the hotel. My first impression was that it was in quite a strange location, but this is because i had only just seen where we were, and also it was dark, so everything seems different. The doors to the reception are round the back of the hotel and on the ground level floor. The hotel itself is situated on top ...
