Advantages: Modern store. Not to big. Good cafeteria. Well trained staff Disadvantages: Not many I can recall
I have always liked visiting Chelsea and one of my favourite haunts in Sloane Square at the top of the Kings Road is the well known PeterJones department store. There are many things I like about the place. The building is architecturally attractive and does not seem to date-whenever I visit it it seems as fresh as is was the year before. I like PeterJones on account of its size. It is big enough to be able to stock a comprehensive range of merchandise but not too big that you can get lost in it. It is not the cheapest place in town but equally it is not the dearest-you certainly dont have to pay the high prices that are charged in Harrods.
The staff at PeterJones are well trained and are very courteous in their dealings with shoppers. Over the years I have bought quite a lot of products at the Chelsea store and feel generally I have ...
Advantages: Funny family chap Disadvantages: No celeb stuff
. He certainly hints that way at the start of this limited but friendly tome, quipping that ?he feels someday soon someone will knock on his front door and take it all away from him, announcing the money and success was all a big accounting error, your going to have to hand it all back son?.
For those who want to know about the best loved comic in Peter Kaye (the man Phil Jupitus will never be) then this book may not be interesting enough to spend your well earnt on. Like the man himself it?s not a remotely celebrity or a parochial journey. At times it reads like his sketches as we learn about his life leading up to his first paid stand-up through those familiar stories and routines. If it?s the time when he worked in an ESSO station handing out Tiger Tokens or his learning days at Salford University (cough!), everything is laid out in ...
Advantages: Easy watching, some good acting and great vocal performances Disadvantages: Acting from some of the cast is a bit over-the-top
This is one of those films that nobody else seems to have heard of and - up until a few years ago - neither had I. Indeed, I have my passion for 1980s pop music to thank for my knowledge that this film even exists. For reasons I don't even remember, I came across a website listing the lyrics to Tears For Fears' mid-eighties hit Everybody Wants To Rule The World and whichever page I viewed mentioned a variety of films, TV programmes and albums that the song featured in. One of these was Peter's Friends . . . so I admit it, I first watched this film because one of my favourite songs was part of the soundtrack! (I can sometimes be a bit more shallow than other people believe . . . actually there are quite a few 1970s/1980s songs in here, which I think suits the mood of the film.)
In a way, I find it surprising that Peter's Friends seems to ...
