Wizz Air

Advantages: Almost Excellent airline to fly with.
Disadvantages: £4 booking fee if not using a Visa Electron card.

...Introduction I have used this air plane a number of times in booking flights and travelling to Prague from London Luton airport and have been generally pleased with the service throughout the buying process. The aircraft are generally Boeing 737 planes and the company flies to many European destinations. What makes this company stand out are its cheap fares which are very reasonable and affordable indeed. The Booking process I have checked the prices and compared them generally to Easyjet and have found that at times it is cheaper to fly with Wizz air on the outbound flight, and in using Easyjet on the return leg of the journey. I have found the website booking process to be very straightforward and easy to complete. When paying for the tickets the website is safe and secure in that it uses https as a secure method...

Walkers Quavers

Advantages: A cheesy favourite
Disadvantages: I'd like them even cheesier!

...And so my crusade to review all sorts of terribly bad for you junk food continues. Yes, we've had Oreos, Wispas, Walkers Roast Chicken Crisps...and now we have a 'spin-off' off the Walkers brand, it's the good old fashion Quavers. It's familiar yellow packaging and traditional cheese flavour are favourites in lunchboxes up and down the land. For a time, I was a big fan of the other flavours - bacon, prawn cocktail and salt and vinegar, but they seem to fall by the wayside when it comes to competing with their bigger brother. Oh, and does anyone remember the ketchup flavour which flirted with the limelight for a while? As with all Walkers crisps now, they are made with Sunseed oil; a special type of sunflower oil (apparently), which results in far less saturated fat than before (up to 80% in fact). Another added bonus is they contain 25...

Review of Walkers Quavers Cheese Flavour

Walkers Shortbread

Advantages: Really tasty, sweet but not overpowering. A good price.
Disadvantages: None at all but beware of the salt

...I certainly now that it is Christmas when I get a request off my Nan to go and get her some shortbread! It is a regular thing now and from November onwards I have learned to keep my eye out for a bargain for her. Whilst in the Range of all places a couple of weeks ago I happened to spot a large display of Shortbread. I have to admit that this was the last place I expected to find Shortbread as I was in the store looking for a couple of hand towels... Not for shortbread however I wandered over to see what was on offer and I found a box of Walkers Shortbread. Walkers is a brand that I have heard of before, mainly due to my Mum saying that she will only buy their brand of Christmas puddings so I knew buying the shortbread would not be a bad move. There was a variety of different boxes of shortbread on offer but I decided to go...

Review of Walkers Petticoat Tails Shortbread

Gulf Air

Advantages: clean, comfortable, good service
Disadvantages: No direct flights out to Asia

...I have flown repeatedly with Gulf Air out to various places in Asia from India to South East Asia and the far east. These have always required a stop-off in the gulf area of the Middle East, almost always Bahrain which is the airlines hub. The airline has connections from London, Paris and Frankfurt out to Bahrain and from there there are plenty of connections out to Asia and to various places around the Middle East and Islamic countries such as Sudan and Iran. Thus it isn't the best connected airline for those trying to connect from Western Europe as it will almost always require a change over unless Bahrain is the final destination. The main reason I have flown with Gulf Air is that they have consistently been the cheapest option on offer for flights out to Asia-perhaps because of the required change over. I have flown with them for 3...

Review of Gulf Air - GFA

Solo Walker

Advantages: Gives insight into the Scott Walker's early influences
Disadvantages: The best was yet to come

...Scott Walker gained fame and notoriety as a band member of the 'Walker Brothers' in the mid 1960s - a band perhaps best known for their worldwide hit "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore". But by 1966, Walker had had enough of commercial sound that the band were producing and the superstardom that came with it. He decided to jump ship and seek solitude in a monastery on the Isle of Wight. He subsequently emerged as a determined solo artist initially influenced by Belgian singer Jacques Brel, but always focused upon his own unique style based around his rich penetrating baritone vocal that would later evolve into an existential angst ridden crooner. 'Scott I' was first released in 1967 and was Walker's first solo album after his work with the Walker Brothers. It was to be the first in a sequence of four solo albums released in the late 1960...

Air Southwest

Advantages: Customer Service, Regional Destinations
Disadvantages: Can be expensive for late bookings

...I had to travel recently to meet up with some friends in London and this airline provided the easiest way to ge there! I work in travel and thought I'd offer a professional opinion on their services. THE COMPANY and THE PLANE Air Southwest is a small airline based in Plymouth and Newquay and operates between 12 destinations all over the UK and Ireland. During the winter they have also been flying to Grenoble for the skiers in the region. They fly Bombardier dash 8 Q300 aircraft - this translates as a prop plane with 50 seats on board with the same seat layout as you would find on most coaches - two on the left and two on the right. For your convenience there is a lavatory and washroom at the front of the cabin. THE JOURNEY I flew from Plymouth to London Gatwick, travelling out on Saturday morning and returning the Same...

Walkers Multipack

Advantages: Delicious, cheap, variety, versatile
Disadvantages: Prawn cocktail flavour, quite high in fat.

...As some of you know, I have a very sweet tooth. Unfortunately, I also have a very savoury tooth and I'm a particular sucker for a bag of crisps. So, you can imagine my delight each week when the weekly shop has been done and I can rumage around and see what delights my mum has bought for us to enjoy and devour this week. Our family likes a huge variety of crisps, usually resulting in 3 or 4 huge variety bags being bought- our usuals are Wotsits, McCoys, Hula Hoops and pringles. However this week was different. I first came across the WALKERS variety bag when I was looking for an accompanyment to go with my sandwich for my lunch. My eyes lit up as I noticed the huge bag in the crisps cupboard. I decided immediatly that today wasnt a day for McCoys flame grilled steak- no today was a day for a bag of traditional WALKERS...

Review of Walkers Crisps, Family Favourites

Sensational crisps from Walkers

Advantages: A great tasty crisp
Disadvantages: None

...up on you unawares. Take a look at the Sensation that you hold in your hand and note the chili sitting on the surface of the golden crisp. Slice upon slice of crisply fried potato make their way from hand to mouth and the contents of the bag that has been sold as a share bag is fast becoming a selfish indulgence. At the moment Walkers Sensations are on offer at Sainsbury`s, two 160g packets for £2.50. This is one offer that you cant afford not to take, it means that you can take full advantage of one packet yourself and leave the other untouched for the rest of the family to enjoy. Although the spicy chili bite is superbly tasty and very moreish when you have eaten a good third of the packet you might have to come up for air. The chili flavouring has a habit of drying your mouth out and then its essential to go and grab a can of ice...

Review of Walkers Sensations - Thai Sweet Chilli

Sensational Walkers.

Advantages: Great tasting, different and high quality.
Disadvantages: High in calories, fat and salt.

...Walkers are undoubtedly great crisp producers and it all started way back in 1945 when a butcher named Henry Walker decided to start cooking slices of potato to sell because the meat supply was virtually non-existent, in 1954 he created his first flavoured crisps and Walkers cheese and onion were born, since then things have come on leaps and bounds and Walkers are one of the biggest crisps and snack producers in the world and they are constantly coming up with new ideas and new flavours. One relatively new idea from Walkers is the Walkers Sensations Lime & Coriander Chutney Poppadoms. (Possibly the longest title for any packet of crisps ever). Well to say these are crisps is not technically correct because they are supposed to be poppadoms, which for anyone who does not know are Indian in origin and are usually served as...

Walkers Roast Chicken Crisps

Advantages: Good old fashioned Walkers, cheap
Disadvantages: There are better crisps out there

...Whilst devouring a ham and cheese toasted sandwich for lunch yesterday, the perfect accompaniment had to be a bag of good old fashioned Walkers Crisps...today's choice, Roast Chicken flavour. Taken from one of the 6 x 25g packs which cost approximately £1.23 from the likes of Tescos and Asda, the first thing that strikes you at the moment is the paraphernalia which covers the orange package due to Walkers' ongoing competition to save money on trips around the UK. But that's just a sideshow; you're all obviously wondering what they taste like. Well, of course they do taste like roast chicken - no surprise there thankfully - but although it pains me to say it, there are better crisps of this flavour out there. Ones with a bigger taste and crunch. These have a texture that some harsh critics would describe as cardboard-like when you...
