From the ashes

Advantages: Find stuff you can't find anywhere else really cheap
Disadvantages: No guarentees, can be busy, rain

...For those who don't know, Ashton market used to consist of an outside market and an inside market. However, a few years ago, the inside big market was burned down. It hasn't been opened again yet, though work is going on with it at the moment. Only the outside walls still stand. Another, smaller, temporary market was made, only around 100 metres away, which cannot fit the same amount of stalls in, but does still contain many of the same stalls as the original market, and is great for the time being until the real one is back on its feet. The outside market was unaffected. So, I will talk about both markets - the temporary indoor market (which will be replaced by the real one at some point, at which point I will change this review) and the outdoor market. Both are similar, so I will write about them together and put a small note next to...

Review of Ashton Market

ASHTON AND PARSONS AAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Advantages: No Drugs involved
Disadvantages: Can be a bit fiddly

...The product is actually called ASHTON AND PARSONS... It is what is known as teething granules although the packaging explains its for all things associated with teething. Ie stomach upsets.fretfullness. If anyone is old enough to remember how drugs used to be supplied(I don't,but as I work for a big pharmaceutical company and have been to their museum..I have seen how drugs used to be supplied) well drugs used to be wrapped up in little packets,quite neatly... ASHTON AND PARSONS granules come just like that, . The packaging isnt very distinctive..I dont usually describe the packaging,but if someone was to try and find this product they would struggle... so here we go *a small white box about the size of a box of matches *with blue writing in bold ASHTON AND PARSONS and then in tiny blue writing a detailed description of what...

Ashton in a Role that Suits.

Advantages: Funny
Disadvantages: Not that Good Really

...I was sitting down watching TV the other night and saw that Just Married was going to be on TV. I haven't seen that film in ages and actually do have it on DVD so I decided to watch it again. Well the film was as funny as I found it last time and it is one of the only things that I have loved Ashton Kutcher in a lot. This review will tell you why I think this silly film is worth watching for a laugh. The story goes as follows. Sarah and Tom met, fell in love and then decided to take the plunge and get married to each other. They are happy and love each other a lot so have a nice wedding and then go on what should be a wonderful Honeymoon visiting places in Europe. What actually happens is a series of events which makes it the Honeymoon from Hell which gets them questioning if they ever should have got married at all. This is...

Review of Just Married (DVD)

A Manchester Hotel Gathers no moss

Advantages: Good location. good facilities
Disadvantages: None

...We stayed at the Village Hotel Ashton Moss (just outside Manchester) for two nights when went to visit friends and see a gig at the Manchester Evening News Arena. The hotel is easy to find, being just off the M60 and is about a 15 / 20 minute drive from Manchester town center We booked directly with the Hotel and paid £189 for 2 nights in a standard room with bed and breakfast including dinner on the first night. The hotel has only been open a few months and is classed as a Village 'Premier' Hotel. From the outside the building is very domineering, being mainly black and it has ample free car parking. The reception area is large and very plush, decorated in deep browns and purples, with the bar and entrance to the gym to one end, the restaurant at the other and an actual small Starbucks café in the middle. There are also...

Review of Village Hotel Ashton Moss, Ashton-under-Lyne

Ashton and Parsons Teething Powders

Advantages: old fashioned remedy with natural products, can still use calpol and things if you want to
Disadvantages: can't be found everywhere

...When my son was teething (he's 4 nearly now), we had lots of times when he was miserable because of his teeth and fretful, but didn't necessarily have a temperature of very sore gums so was reluctant to keep giving calpol. Ashton and Parsons powders were recommended by a friend. They are a very old family remedy that use natural products. I haven't got a box to hand now, so can't unfortunately say what is in them. The come in an old fashioned box in a square twist of paper and I think you just tip in the mouth and they dissolve. I can't believe how well and quickly they worked. They even took the redness out of his cheeks. I found that I used much less calpol when using these. Well worth a try for the fretfulness and kept son's temperature down too....

Ashton Online is Sunday Worship of Alcohol

Advantages: It involves alcohol and indulgence.
Disadvantages: this costs money

...There are places in and around every large City where a certain type of people live. I?m not being controversial, just observational. There is a Town not far from where I live in the North-West of England where It seems that for some unknown reason, like a Maori tribal identification tongue tattoo, only less painful, The inhabitants of Ashton-Under-Lyne like to wear clothes that the ilk of Mr Burberry, Mr and Mr Dolce and Gabbana, and often unfortunately Miss Moschino have spent Millions of pounds, hours of other peoples talent and years of fine tuning to design. All very well, you may think. However, unlike Paris, Milan or New York, you don?t get these designs from under-staffed glass fronted Boutiques. You get them in a flimsy white carrier bag from nice men with independently extreme odours on the market. If you ignore...

Ashton is SOOOOO cute

Advantages: Ashton ashton ashton
Disadvantages: a bit too stupid

...This film is absolutely hilarious!! Ashton Kutcher and Seann William Scott were both very good choices for the parts of Jesse and Chester, the average american teenage dudes! Ashton, star "Kelzo" of That 70s show was a good chopice not only because he's gorgeous but also because he knows how to act dumb if you kbow what I mean!! Seann, star "Stiffler" of American Pie was also a good choice because he has that smile that is sort of mysterious but innocent! I think the film was good overall because it had a sort of steady storyline through out but it had a pretty duff end but I suppose that was the only down side to the whole film! My advice WATCH IT!!...

Ashton & Parson teething & stomach disorders

Advantages: Natural ingredients and handy size dosing
Disadvantages: Can be fiddly but a teaspoon helps!

...Ashton and parson comes in a box of 10, priced around £2.30 from any good chemist. The product claims to relief the pain and discomfort of teething, stomach disorders, corrects the motions, relie restlessness, and fretfulness, and similar troubles that arise through teething. These sachets also help dry baby's mouth of the drool that comes with teething!! The handy wee sachets are already measured out for you to use, but can be a little tricky to aim for baby's mouth, so a teaspoon comes in handy to administer product. Highly recommended product as i also used this on myself when my wisdom teeth were coming through and it did stop pain for a few hours and had a nice sweet taste to it. I have tried various natural products and teething toys but this by far was the best!! Please dont be put off by the price of this product as...
