I agree with much what you've stated - I can't help but feel you could've explored the subject better - not sure what you mean by the comment: "The print always seems far better in quality of writing." by 1st2thebar

Terrifying, just terrifying!
Review of Member Advice on Febrile Convulsions by chrisandmark_is_here

Advantages: It doesn't take very long at all for the baby/toddler/child to snap out of it
Disadvantages: Very frightening to witness, can potentially last a long time, takes years for them to outgrow it

Last night was awful. My two year old son went to bed at 8pm as usual, a little snotty and generally a bit warm due to a cold he came down with on Boxing Day. He's not the best sleeper in the world at the best of times so when he woke every hour I didn't ... Read review

Drunk in charge...
Review of Drink Driving Debate by dynamicnurse

Advantages: None.
Disadvantages: Everything.

I am a driver, but I do also enjoy having an evening out in the pub having a small number of pints with friends. More often than not we all tend to go very close to where we live which means that nobody has to drive (thus meaning that everyone can have a ... Read review

I think it is a very good idea the pub taking the keys from the driver, if it only saved one life in a lifetime, that's got to be good in my opinion. Enjoyable read hun thanks x by pinky50

ps. Have you thought of suggesting Syria as a topic for Current Debate? by torr
Welcome back. I too am a fan of - and frequent writer in - the Cafe, but I think it is a mistake to neglect the more bread-and-butter product side of the site, which is its main raison-d'etre. As to the approach of members to the site, I think we have to recognise that every member has his/her own motives for being here, and has a right to review what they want to review in whatever way they want to review it. You can always choose to down-rate (or ignore entirely) their output if you don't think it's up to much. by torr

I ain't gonna work on Maggies farm no more....
Review of Thatcher's premiership: Good or bad for Britain? by FloridaDino

Advantages: short term gain.....
Disadvantages: .....with a considerable amount of long term pain.

I've read a lot in the last few weeks about the legacy of Margaret Thatcher, both good and bad, and for a time I did waver a little on which side to fall. I grew up under Thatcher, I was 10 when she took power, and 21 when she was ousted (by those same co ... Read review

Bitter medicine
Review of Thatcher's premiership: Good or bad for Britain? by torr

Advantages: Some of the substance
Disadvantages: All of the style

Speaking as someone who always loathed her and never voted for her party, I believe Margaret Thatcher’s premiership was, on balance, good rather than bad for Britain. But what a difficult balance it is to strike, with heavy weights on both sides of the ... Read review

Advantages: Doctors have allowed me to read and rate ten reviews a day only.
Disadvantages: Insanity is not far away.

Psychologist from Dooyoo Towers: So, are you a Dooyoo Addict? Sock Puppet: I'm very glad you asked this question, I wondered if I was an addict as soon as I typed in my username on that day in April 2007. I asked myself, do I really need to d ... Read review

Review of Thatcher's premiership: Good or bad for Britain? by JOHNV

Advantages: See review
Disadvantages: See review

The jury is out, and will be for a long time. The eleven-year tenure as Prime Minister of Margaret Thatcher, a towering figure in British politics - Ed Miliband’s words, not mine - was good and bad for Britain. According to a Sunday Times YouGov poll af ... Read review

Each to their own. I suspect I will go to my grave still saying "I blame Maggie..!" Lx by hiker
This made for interesting reading, as an 11 year old when she came into power, I recall the Maggie Thatcher Milk Snatcher posters around the school but as an adult I grew to respect her for the changes she made to the union "culture" across the UK. by anonymili

Maggie tHATchER
Review of Thatcher's premiership: Good or bad for Britain? by 1st2thebar

Advantages: Made Dallas and Dynasty hair-dos look decidely flat
Disadvantages: Didn't add enough due to word limit.

Britain does state funerals so well; we pride ourselves on the well-rehearsed salutes and canon-gun fires to our, ‘we are all Thatcherites now’ detriment. The establishment stopped the chimes of Big Ben, allegedly dawn-stormed known activist’s homes and ... Read review

You make your points well - I wouldn't know where to begin on a review like this ;) Not my comfort zone ;) by dawnymarie
May I add that Thatcher closed less mines simply because there were less left to close. The difference was; Thatcher did it in spite as Wilson did it because they were non-profitable. No the Tories call the Bedroom Tax something entirely different - but is comes down to the same thing: which ultimately means the threat of evictions and homelessness, a searing condemnation of 21st century capitalism. by 1st2thebar

The devil better watch out as he is about to be made unemployed.
Review of Thatcher's premiership: Good or bad for Britain? by thedevilinme

Advantages: The democracy she secured allowed us to have our say
Disadvantages: She hated her roots

As much as I dislike Thatcher I would not wish Alzheimer’s on anyone. For 68% of you it’s dementia or cancer that’s going to get you in the end. It’s a terrible illness and punishment enough for her sins. Death rarely affords dignity, the dignity the mine ... Read review

Thatcher's Premiership - A very patchy legacy
Review of Thatcher's premiership: Good or bad for Britain? by cr01

Advantages: Stong on reshaping our industry
Disadvantages: Harked too much on past glories and to her own gain.

So “Thatch” (as Ben Elton might say) is dead. Despite my personal distaste for the Thatcher cult, her hectoring condescending opinions and speeches, that bizarre habit of talking about herself in the third person, her control freakery and complete lack ... Read review

Some excellent points. by catsholiday
I respected her moral stance and hard-working philosophies . . . but . . . she closed down excellent London Teaching Hospitals for no other reason than that she thought they were too successful; she tried to push the expertise into the other districts and parts of the UK, thus possibly contributing to the state of the NHS with money being more important than care . . . then, at one point, certain benefits for low-paid workers were changed within the time period of validity of entitlement --- no longer being available once new forms were printed, as the 'tick-box' vanished on the form . . . she was self-serving . . . but so are many of our politicians now . . . I think there was too great an emphasis on privatisation for the sake of it, and a lack of compassion for those who were on the margins . . . and that was a bad thing for Britain . . . ♥ ~ Jesi by jesi

Why education should not be synonymous with child care
Review of Do schools in the UK have too many holidays? by brokenangelkisses

Advantages: Regular breaks allow teachers and students time to rest, recuperate and develop
Disadvantages: Long summer breaks do create a 'dip' in learning which needs to be managed

Teachers are contracted to teach for 195 days each year and expected to complete another 5 training days. That leaves 165 days when students are "on holiday" or, to put it another way, at home with their parents. Is that too many? In my opinion, no. Let' ... Read review
