BURTONS

Advantages: Large range of cheap smart clothes
Disadvantages: none

...Burtons is just the sort of place I always seem to end up in when I go shopping. Its not that I really buy that much stuff there (I'm a bit scruffy most of the time), but just being there is something you have to do. The shop has a very classy image when compared to others in the high street. They sell some real quality clothes at some very reasonable prices. If I was to be buying anything at all smart, I'd always head straight for Burtons. I bought a suit there this year, and the staff were very helpful. After just a second of looking through their stock, a woman approached me to see if she could help. I obviously did need a bit of help because I hadn't needed a nice suit before. She took all the necessary measurements and I was actually out of the shop again fairly quickly. I also bought some shirts, ties and a pair...

Review of Burton (Shop)

Burton - Fantastic!

Advantages: Stores bright & good layout, friendly staff, wide choice
Disadvantages: Sometimes it's worth waiting for the sales!

...::::INTRODUCTION:::: Burton is part of the Arcadia Retail group, which has many fashion retailers such as TopMan and the rest are women's like TopShop, Dorethy Perkins, Wallis, Evans and Miss Selfridge. The first store was opened in 1903 by Montague Burton, after borrowing £100 from a relitave to open the cross-tailoring company in Chesterfield. His aim was "Good clothes for a mans self-respect". This continues today with modern and stylish clothing with usually a dedicated suit area in the store and a good selection of footwear and accessories. ::::HISTORY:::: At the start of World War 1 Burton changed to start producing Armed Forces uniforms' instead of suits. These unfiroms made by Burton clothed nearly a quarter of all service men and women during The Great War. Mr Burton recieved a Knight-hood in 1931 for his efforts in...

Burtons Clothes Store

Advantages: Good selections
Disadvantages: Not well laid out in shop

...Since fashion became something to be more conscious about for me, (few years ago) I thought it would be a good idea to make sure I knew what the different Men’s stores around my local area were like. Burtons is quite an established store, for men only, (although my mum does go in when she's looking for my Christmas presents etc) and does offer quite a good range in the latest fashions. It has a good selection of Jeans, both its own brand, and other brands like Wrangler. The casual wear continues with T-shirts and jumpers, all quite suitable for the young men of today to wear out on the streets. Burtons also has a good selection of clothes for going out in. The selection of shirts is good, quite a wide range from the near-Hawaiian shirts for the summer, to the long sleeved cotton shirts. The smart trousers aren't of the best...

FREE DVDs

Advantages: Free trial, large choice, post included,new realeases
Disadvantages: see review

...I like movies and I like freebies, so when you get offered both in one swoop you?re bound to accept! I used my two week free trial with this company and remained with them for a couple of monthsbefore moving on to try many other companies free trials (and winning a new DVD player on Tesco DVD rental site on their free trial offer). I then had an email from DVDs 365 asking me to go back, and offering me a free DVD if I did so. I had just left Tesco (with my new DVD player) so I chose to go back with them. ∆◊◊ THE SERVICE THEY OFFER ∆◊◊ Basically it?s like going to a video shop and hiring films on DVD, except you don?t pay for each film you chose ? rather a monthly fee for which you can watch as many movies as you can fit in, for us this is usually around 8 a month (2 a week usually weekends...

Go for a Burton

Advantages: Good Range, Good Quality, Good Prices
Disadvantages: None

...A great shop for men. Great value, great quality, good range, friendly staff. That just about sums up my opinion of the Burtons Mensware shops in the UK. Now I've got to try and pad this thing out to make 90 words. Joking aside I have honestly given my opinion in the first sentence, but what leads me to this conclusion? I have shopped at Burtons both man and boy and have always been very pleased with their products. On the rare ocassion I have had to return anything the staff have bent over backwards to help and replaced or refunded without question. I have always found what I have been looking for and paid a reasonable price. Sale time is always good too and there are some excellent bargains to be found. I have also used their hire facility to hire out dinner suits and found this service to also be excellent in both cost...

Don't Go For a Burton

Advantages: A decent enough idea
Disadvantages: Not well written

...It's not a rare thing for famous people from other professions to try their hand at writing; autobiographies abound from even the youngest of celebrities these days, it seems. What is slightly rarer is for them to produce works of fiction; Pamela Anderson and Katie Price have both tried this recently, although it is suspected that their works of "fiction" were based on their own lives. Madonna turned her hand to children's books, with some success. Many years before this, however, LeVar Burton turned his hand to science fiction. As the man who played Lt Geordi LaForge on "Star Trek: The Next Generation", this isn't perhaps as great a leap as it could have been. However, he has not just taken the idea of the show that made his name, but instead gone off in a new direction. In the fairly near future, the United States has...

Surprising Picture Quality - Panasonic DVD-S54

Advantages: Incredible picture quality when compared to my old non-upscaling player with a scart lead
Disadvantages: Sometimes disc drive can be really noisy when DVD's initially load.

...At first I wasn't convinced by up-scaling DVD player technology but was persuaded after reading an article in "What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision" magazine. Unable to afford a Blu-Ray player my sister and I bought the Panasonic DVD-S54 to match our parents brand new Panasonic TX-32LZD80 LCD television as their Christmas 2008 present. Admittedly it was a slightly selfish purchase as we both live at home and wanted to watch DVDs on the big new TV ourselves! We bought the player from the electrical retailer Comet for about £100 just before Christmas so there were no discounts applied. On Christmas day when opened we found a relatively small box tightly packed with the player in polystyrene packaging. All the components such as cables, remote and manuals were well presented in their own protective plastic bags, to keep them protected. The player...

the burton dominant

Advantages: flexible, mellow edges, good graphics ect
Disadvantages: NONE

...soo the burton dominant .. LOOKS the graphics looks sick (REALLY REALLY GOOD) THE BOARD ITS SELF the board is well suited to all stages of rider (ie experience wise) beginner to expert. the edges are reallly mellow so begginers will not catch edges easily also the more experienced will not catch edges doing rails (which really hurts!!!) the board is also very flexible so if you land wrong doing a trick you have a better chance of staying upright. TYPES OF TERRAIN the board is more suited to park/freestyle riding and also good for powder as it is flexible. you can use it on normal runs but it is not very effective as you slide round corners rather than carve due to the mellow edges! ADVANTAGES i leant on this board and i have turned out ok so thier must be something right on this board. flexible, mellow edges, good...

Shell Fuel Garage - Burton-On-Trent

Advantages: Friendly Staff, Good Range of Fuels
Disadvantages: Jet Wash Doesn't Work, Isnt Very Good

...Shell Fuel Garage - Burton on Trent What is Shell?? They are a large fuel producing company which includes oil, gas, petrol and diesel, this company has many filling stations across the country and also in other countries too. They are well known for producing the 99octane V-Power and also V-Power diesel which is advertised as Ferrari fuel for the roads. This is probably because Shell sponsors Ferrari so they often help give Ferrari advertising. Shell are one of the leading companies in fuel supplying and I definitely trust them to do provide the best fuels for my cars and also to help improve the environment with improving their fuels to be more environmentally friendly. Shell also have a really useful website with lots of information about what they provide and other things they are part of including environment...

Review of Shell Fuel Garage Burton on Trent

I'VE GOT SOGGY BURTONS!!

Advantages: They taste quite nice
Disadvantages: The wet flannel appeal

...get for our 99p? Well, apparently its a 'Delicious Mallow Biscuit with a Chocolate Flavoured Coating'. Immediately three words jump out at me, 'Chocolate Flavoured Coating' Oh I dear, I suppose there's no real chocolate in it, does it really cost manufacturers that much to put a real bit of chocolate in it? Oh no, I tell a lie, its got Reduced Fat Cocoa Powder, but its seventh on the ingredients list. Not looking favourable so far. Well, I guess we've got to get down to the 'nitty-gritty' and eat it. I hate that term, hopefully it hasn't got nits or grit in it. Sorry, just being pedantic. You know, I'm sure these are much smaller than they used to be. I remember my mum always put one in my lunch box for school trips and I remember them being ginormous. Isn't this always the way? Obviously, Burton's the manufacturer couldn't resist...
