    4 Stars LOOK FOR THE VELVET BLUE PUSSY 11/12/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Free, easy to use, informative

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Small area of coverage

    I think most people probably regard the Thomson Local Directory as a secondary imitation of the giant Yellow Pages. Personally speaking, I’ve always tended to use the Thomson rather than Yellow Pages, simply because it is better laid out, more user friendly, and covers a smaller, more focused catchment area. About the Directory There are currently 173 regional versions of the Thomson local directory – 39 of which are printed in colour. 22 million copies are distributed across the UK annually, covering 85% of the adult population of the country. What is it? The Thomson Local is ... more

    1 Star ybd@thomsonlocal.com BEWARE SPECIAL DEALS 22/08/2012

    Advantages Advantages Very quick and efficient and helpful in taking your money.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages You will not be recompensed for poor service or non-delivery of goods

    My recommendation is BEWARE of this company and the deals they offer. I bought and paid them for a 32 gb memory stick from a partner business (which has hundreds of bad reviews in different places on the net). I later found that what they had advertised at 67% off can be bought a lot cheaper elsewhere and other similar spec. devices are being sold for half their price! It never arrived and I was not refunded the £3.50 shipping charge. They are offering deals negotiated with partner businesses. I think you'll read a lot more bad reviews for these cowboys! Thankfully I paid by Paypal so they had ... more

    1 Star DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT !! 04/08/2012
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages The area manager who tried to resolve this matter was really good

    Disadvantages Disadvantages I don't think I need to say anymore.....

    Where do i start? I was contacted by thomson local in january this year. the rep arrived stating how good thomson were and the usual sales talk but one key thing, she did not know the prices! She asked me to sign a blank order form so she could fill in the prices when she got back to the office ! The company name was spelt wrong on almost all correspondence, even though i brought it to there attention on several occasions. It took me several phone calls and emails to get a proof before the campaign went active. when i got the proof which supposedly going to be done by there artwork team, it ... more

    1 Star Thomson Local, Leeds Highly Incompetent 25/04/2013
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages None

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Everything

    Very poor does not justify how terrible their service really is. We sent them final artwork twice and both times they came back with proofs where they had taken liberties with the design and effectively destroyed it. We are now very near to missing our deadline. I hope that this third time they use our original artwork and do not edit it. We have had numerous problems with Thomson over just about all the listings we have with them, on paper and on their website. During these problems they make many promises to call back, which rarely happens. One time our agent just went on holiday without ... more

    5 Stars ThomsonLocal.com and online advertising 29/06/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages More 'friendly' and work harder for their fee

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can't buy online yet

    As well as traditional printed directory advertising Thomson are also providing a range of online advertising packages. The packages range from the straightforward online directory listing through to pay per click packages. The added bonus is that Thomson distribute their listing to a huge network of partner sites AND are a Google reseller. The pay per click packages are specially designed for the smaller business and come with an account manager to explain the processes so they are great for the less experienced online marketer who's just getting started. The online packages are particularly ... more

    1 Star Dont publish bad reviews 07/11/2011
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages None at all

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Publish Lies about Bogus Traders

    This whole site is a complete waste of time since for years they have been plugging esther rantzen why trust anyone else. I have not had one of my bad reviews about companies published as yet. I have looked through the whole site and I have not seen one business get less than 5 stars. Yell with TrustedPlaces allow the good and the bad to be writen to allow people to make up their own minds. If all this site is all about is allowing bogus companies to rip people off then I along with many will never visit it and try sites like TurstATrader.com and TrustedPlaces. What a complete bunch of two ... more

    1 Star Long wait and big disappointment 10/10/2012

    Advantages Advantages Customer service was polite and at least I am sure to be getting part of my money back

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Such a long wait to be told it was not going to happen and not offering a FULL refund

    This review is about the "business deals" I signed up for a half price Android Tablet. Told it could take update 25 days. Not a major problem for a half price item. When I e-mailed about why I had not seen or heard anything in what was closer to 45 days finally resulted in an e-mail saying your item will be delivered THIS week. It was the following week after great anticipation of my new tablet that I was told due to circumstances beyond their control I would be getting a refund and to chase their supplier for the delivery charge I had to pay separately. Will not be taking up future offers ... more

    5 Stars From Hell 01/06/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Johnny Depp never seems to disappoint!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages bad reviews from others!

    A great film with an even greater cast. Heather Graham is portrayed in a positive light despite her profession which is very interesting to see and Johnny Depp is brilliant as always. He plays a detective very well but unfortunately all does not end well... But i wont spoil it for you! The identity of this gruesome murderer that seems to have little compassion for women is kept hidden until the end and certainly is suprising! The time in which this film was set was portayed very well through peoples' attitudes and costumes are laso very nice. The story does not focus just on the murders but ... more
