At the Apex of the industry

Advantages: Cheap, very comfortable
Disadvantages: None.

..., rather than the Thursday I wanted (i.e. yesterday). Fine, I thought, a quick call to Lastminute and it'll be sorted. The hotel had said they had space, and it wasn't a problem, but Lastminute had to change it. Ok, no probs. Just call Lastminute. *Tears hair out* No chance of speaking to a human. You end up getting lost in a crazy computeried maze and the only way to speak to a human is to go to (you guessed it ) sales. All other requests ask you to go to the bloody website. Anyway, long story short Lastminute gave me short-shrift and said the hotel didn't have space. A lie. They did. I asked them. Apex to the rescue -------------------------- After 45 minutes of arguing with Lastminute, I spoke to the hotel, who very kindly offered to speak to them to sort out the whole sorry mess. To their credit, they did...

Review of Apex City of London Hotel, London

An Englishman's shed is his castle... so it needs protecting

Advantages: Simple to install, very loud and works very well indeed
Disadvantages: uses many batteries, shame it's not solar powered

...It?s a sad state of affairs but these days security is close to being top of many peoples priorities, be it personal security or making sure your property stays in your possession and not taken by some little toad who thinks getting a proper job and actually earning some honest cash is beneath them. Being safe and secure is very important in most people books, and trying to keep your personal property safe is paramount, especially with the cost of insurance sky rocketing every other day, and then, if the worst does happen, god forbid, actually getting your Insurance company to pay out for your loss. In fact, a lot of those insurance companies wont even cover certain parts of your property, such places like your garden shed or a garage which is not attached to your house. So, here I am to tell you about a cracking little alarm which...

Hen weekend - Apex international, Edinburgh

Advantages: Proximity to city, excellent rooms and brilliant staff
Disadvantages: none

...We visited Edinburgh on my hen night and I had previously stayed at the Apex City on buisness which is about 3 doors away from the Apex International. All of our guests were arriving at different times as travelling from far and wide. As the bride I arrived first at 8.30am as my flight was an early one. We checked in but our rooms were not ready, the hotel offered to take our bags and then suggested an excellent breakfast eatery located on the Royal Mile. As we had just landed in Edinburgh we did not have much of a clue how to navigate the city - the staff in reception were excellent and even gave us a free map whislt advising of the best sights to see!! Once we had had breakfast and done some sightseeing, we returned to the hotel to find that our rooms were ready (12.30) We were a party of 8 staying in 2 rooms!! The hotel then...

Apex DVD Player

Advantages: Lasts long time, good performance
Disadvantages: Lack of image playback and surround sound support.

...The APEX DVD player is basically what you get for your money. It offers the basic features of DVD playback but lacks some key features required in todays technology. The DVD player is capable of playing most DVD's however it is quite poor at picture disc playback as it often tells you that there is some form of error. It also lacks LCD display so it is hard to tell features such as time lapsed, chapter number and so on (unless you bring it up on on-screen display). I also found a problem when resuming a film. When you insert the same disc you have just played the player tells you to press the resume button to continue; when there is no such button on the remote or player itself. This DVD player however can take quite a bit of work and perform pretty well. Overall I would say that this DVD player is only recommended for 'cheap...

Review of Apex AD1100

A mini horse

Advantages: nice story
Disadvantages: /

...When I was younger I always had my nose in a book. Being the huge animal lover I was (and still am), I often chose to read books about animals. The Animal Ark book series by Lucy Daniels was very popular with me, and one of the titles was Shetland in the Shed Although you should never judge a book by its cover, I always do, so it is important that it looks quite good! The cover of this particular book is quite cute. There is a picture of a gorgeous looking little pony with its long bony face and windswept mane. Although the colours of the book cover are quite dull and not very uplifting there is still something attractive about it that drew me in straight away. The book itself is about Mandy Hope, whose parents are vets. They look after a girl named Polly, and with her she brings her shetland pony. Though it seems that Polly is...

Review of Shetland In The Shed - Lucy Daniels

A shed light that costs nothing to run

Advantages: Costs nothing to run
Disadvantages: You need to find a suitable place to site the solar panel

...cabin, I drilled a small hole through the wall behind it and passed the cable through to the solar panel which I fixed close to the apex of the roof. The solar panel is adjustable so that you can fit it to get maximum sun and they recommend that you leave it switched off for 6-8 hours to get fully charged before use. The light comes with a little remote control and holder which I think is an excellent idea as you can fit the holder to the side of the shed door so that you don't have to walk through the shed in the dark to reach the switch. The light itself has 10 LEDs which means that it gives a pretty good light certainly ample for finding things in there and enough to give out a reasonable 'glow' through the windows. Would I recommend it? Yes I would. It was easy to fit and it works well in use. It costs nothing to run...

Review of Proteam Utility Solar Light

Dainty but Delightful

Advantages: Small but packed with functions
Disadvantages: Level of sound

...I finally decided to purchase a DVD player when a few films I really wanted to see had or so I thought only been bought out in DVD format. I did not really want to spend a huge amount of money as quite honestly I do not get to watch that many films and those I do are normally watched through sky television. So when I started looking at all the different models I wanted as many functions for the least money I could spend. I finally visited Asda. Not a place I would normally think of for buying my electrical goods at all. I did actually make a purchase of a DVD player and below I am going to tell you all about it · Apex AD-1100WB DVD Player · What do you get in your package? · DVD Video Player · Remote Control · Scart Lead · AD-1100 Owners Manual · Two size AA batteries for the remote control · The Look When I saw this...
