For a Sparkling Bathroom

Advantages: cleans well, makes light work of dirt, CHEAP
Disadvantages: Leaves a smell on hands after use

...When I got to the checkout on my last shopping trip I suddenly remembered that I had forgotten to get my usual multi purpose wipes so asked hubby to go and grab a packet. Now I have been using the same brand for a very long time but for some reason hubby could not remember which ones they were and came back with these ones. I did let him off though as I did need them for the bathroom and decided I would try these instead. ~~THE PACKET~~ The wipes come in a flat packet which is very similar to a packet of baby wipes. It is blue in colour and has the product name at the top with a picture of a shiny bathroom and under this is a red rectangle which contains the claims that these wipes will remove soap scum and control the build up of lime scale. The back of the packet has a white rectangle down the left hand side which has all...

Review of Tesco Bathroom Wipes

On the straight Duplo rails

Advantages: good rails long lasting
Disadvantages: none

...Duplo train straight rails. If your child has a basic duplo train set, or you want to create one for them then you might want to buy the set of straight rails to expand it. This pack2734 contains 6 pieces. It costs £4.99p from the Lego shop http://shop.lego.com/product/?p=2734&LangId=20 57&ShipTo=UK. It is also available at other toy shops and toy departments for around the same price. Basically this set is just the straight train track pieces you will need to buy curved pieces too if you wish to make a circuit and you will need to buy a train to run on it too. The curved track 2735 is a good compatible set to make a circuit it is available together withy the straight track for £9.96p at Amazon Lego duplo trains are suitable for a child aged between 2 and 5 although slightly younger and slightly older children will also...

Bathroom Mousse

Advantages: Works well with a little scrubbing
Disadvantages: Use a lot at once

...I bought this on recommendation from a friend and colleague, who uses it for cleaning at work as well as at home. She said it does the job where other cleaners are just not good enough, so I promptly went out and bought some. I paid £1.05 in Tesco, which I thought was surprisingly cheap for a big name brand like Cif. Cif claim that this bathroom mousse gives brilliant results with minimum effort. You just need to spray the mousse on, leave it 5-10 minutes, and rinse it off. It's suitable for use on plastic, enamel and chrome surfaces. The mousse comes in a tall cylindrical can with a see-through lime green domes lid. The top has the usual mousse-can spray, with a button at one side of the nozzle, which you just press down and out squirts the mousse. It's really easy to use and to direct the spray where you want it. It's easy...

Review of Jif Bathroom Mousse

Not By Rail

Advantages: will get you from A to B - eventually
Disadvantages: need I comment?

...By way of opening, yes, I am aware that BR does not exist anymore. This however, is an opinion about the whole rail network and it seemed fitting to put it here, after all, as you will see, BR had its merits. Many of us rely on rail travel every day and there can be few people who have never been on a train. Whether we use the railways for daily commuting or the occasional trip away we should be able to rely on the fact that there will be trains, that they will turn up on time and get to their destination with the minimum of delay. That’s what should happen. In reality we are faced with a crippled rail network, poor rolling stock and high prices. Rail travel is no longer guaranteed to get you to your destination on time or at all. The infrastructure has got so bad that from every corner there is a cry. The public blame...

Review of British Rail

Rail Simulator (PC)

Advantages: Superb graphics, sound and realism
Disadvantages: Lack of route mileage and activities

...Step back to a time when the UK rail system was the envy of the world. Rail Simulator allows you to drive some of the greatest diesel, electric and steam locomotives ever built. If you're familiar with Microsoft Train Simulator then let me tell you that Rail Simulator beats it hands down with superior sound quality, blistering graphics and realistic train handling. The controls are also very similar to those of MSTS meaning you can begin driving as soon as the software is installed. My only complaint is that the developers have focused so much on the fine detail of the four routes included on the disc, that they have neglected to include route mileage. The number of activities provided is also quite low, but you'll find many more on the Official Expansion Pack and the UK Train Sim website. Definitely one to purchase...

Review of Rail Simulator (PC)

Northern Rail

Advantages: gets you from a to b
Disadvantages: overcrowding, delays, cancellations

...I too suffer daily at the hands of Northern Rail. Overcrowding, delays and cancellations are the most common problems. After three years of travelling to work using this company, i am able to say that from experience, there has been no improvement in the level of service for the £300,000,000 tax payers money that is annually chucked their way. The service provided by Northern rail is thrown into sharp contrast by that of Trans Pennine Express who have invested in new trains and actually understand the concept of customer service. I read with interest an interview with the boss of Trans Pennine who explained that, when travelling on his trains, he makes a point of announcing his presence on the train to elicit feedback from his customers. I can only imagine what would be done to the boss of Northern rail if he/she was to follow...

Review of Northern Rail, England

What's In Your Bathroom?

Advantages: Great rhyming text and humorous illustrations
Disadvantages: Too Short!!

...This is a brilliant humorous tale of what really happens in the bathroom at night when all of the creepy-crawlies come out to play! ~ The story ~ It begins with a 'human' peeping in to the darkened bathroom and all he/ she could see were lots and lots of yellow eyes peering back at him / her. 'When I peeped around the bathroom door. I couldn't believe the things I saw.....' And so begins a humorous account of what the minibeasts in the bathroom are doing: ' A caterpillar was washing his hair with my shampoo - I don't think that's fair.' 'An earwig was using Dad's aftershave. A woodlouse saw me and started to wave.' It also includes a ladybird skiing down the bath, a beetle singing in the shower, a centipede giving itself a manicure, a spider bungee jumping from the sink and ants using the sink as a skating rink etc...

Review of Beetle in the Bathroom - Brian Moses

DolphinBathrooms

Advantages: They do it all for you
Disadvantages: Its expensive

...Firstly, we fancied a Dolphin Bathroom so we phoned and booked a home visit for a "designer". We got a cocky sales rep who thought we couldnt afford the bathroom and so couldnt be bothered to do the sale (we had just moved in and everywhere was a bit of a mess). So we phoned again and asked for another person to visit, this time we got a rather pleasant gent, who talked us through our purchase. He knew what he was talking about, and his sales technique was more of a gently push than all out pressure. It took about 2 hours. Anyway, within two weeks someone came to survey the property and ensure that what we wanted was actually feasible. That too took about 2 hours. The following week, the entire bathroom turned up - on a saturday. I mean everything, cabinets, bath, toilet, sink, tiles - all of it. After 3 weeks of having...

Review of Dolphin Bathrooms

Bathroom Fiasco

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Terrible customer service, shoddy workmanship

...adjoining the bathroom. 7. Poor planning so that when the toilet was fitted the bathroom door would not open fully, meaning that we now have a door opening out onto the landing. 8. Tiling having to be done three times before it was of a satisfactory standard. 9. Fitted units and heated towel rail having to be replaced due to damage caused by the fitters while working. 10. Flooring having to be replaced twice due to shoddy laying and damage caused by the fitters. All in all, the work, which was estimated during the original planning to take 7-10 days, took five weeks. Although the overall look of the bathroom is very attractive, if we look closely there are numerous examples of poor workmanship and lack of care taken. We have since received substantial restitution from Dolphin but this in no way compensates for the disruption of our lives...

Review of Dolphin Bathrooms

Bathroom Wonder Wipes

Advantages: Easy to use, Very effective, Good value.
Disadvantages: Not to widely available, yet.

...I hate cleaning bathrooms. I usually find that most bathroom cleaners, get on my chest and make me cough and splutter. They are normally to strong and make me feel ill. I am always on the look out for new products, and I am always willing to try new things! I spotted this product, whilst I was out and about, shopping, and having used this brand of cleaning products before, decided it was time to invest in the bathroom cleaner. I have had no grieviences with this brand of cleaning products and have always found them to be effective and less harsh than others. **********************PACKAGING*********************** This product comes in a pale blue plastic wrapper, with a resealable flap. On the front of the packet, there are four little round pictures, that tell you and show you, what these wipes can be used on. Underneath this...
