Advantages: Big & beautiful Disadvantages: Egg rack for 8 eggs (who buys them in 8's?)
We've had our Scandinova fridge for almost 3 years, and it's great. It's capacious, rated B efficiency, the top (fridge) holds 185 litres fo space, the freezer holds 123 litres across 3.5 drawers. Came from High Street retailer Comet (own brand) and cost around £400.
The glass shelves (2) in the fridge are adjustable, as is the useful bottle rack. The veg. tray at the bottom is innovative, it swings out in a half-moon shape around a central pivot, with a big window in the back (facing forwards) so you can see your perfectly preserved veg. Two trays which take up approx. 2/3 of the veg. tray allow flexibility. The door shelves are flexible, with shallow and deeper trays to hold a variety of goods, and two containers shaped to fit the door for dairy or smelly goods. There's an egg tray, and large defrosting/storage box came too ...

Given the small stature of the box and the speakers you will not get seismic bass but the bass you do get is very good and very taut. The treble conveys vocals and instruments well and the overall sound integrates together very well indeed. Although I have this system as a second system in my bedroom it's more than capable of being your main setup if size really is at a premium. A very good sound indeed. Upgrade the speakers and you could get even more but choose the speakers ...
Advantages: Nice location, friendly staff, large apartments Disadvantages: Tired, uninspired
When is a hotel not a hotel? When it's an apartment, of course! A normal hotel room is more than adequate for a couple, however, when travelling with another couple, you have a choice (particularly when travelling to Spain or Portugal, it seems) between renting two double or twin rooms in a hotel, or sharing a two bedroom holiday apartment. In September, my husband and I visited Portugal (near Lisbon) with another couple, and chose therefore to stay in a two bedroom apartment at the Clube do Lago in Monte Estoril (near Caiscais, about a half hour cab or train ride from Lisbon). We were there six days and five nights.
As the holiday had been booked through a travel agent, we were met at the airport by a driver, and driven the 40 minutes or so from the airport to the hotel. One of the first things you notice is the cobbled semi ...
