Dorset County Hospital

Advantages: Friendly, Efficient, Very Clean
Disadvantages: None, apart from waiting time

...I am at present resting at home after an operation on my left shoulder, made necessary after a clumsy fall that compressed the shoulder joint. After a regimen of physiotherapy and steroids it was deemed that an operation called a subacromial decompression was arranged and took place at the orthopaedic unit of the Dorset County Hospital in Dorchester, Dorset. I was given a choice of three hospitals, in line with the government's policy of offering a choice and I feel that I made the correct decision. The choices on the list were The Royal Bournemouth and Christchurch Hospital, Poole General Hospital and the Dorset county. Bournemouth was too far away, Poole is not a very nice hospital so I was left with Dorchester . First Impressions Once the appointment for surgery was made I was asked to attend a Anaesthesia Pre...

Prince Edward County - A slice of Tranquility

Advantages: Peaceful, ecclectic, plenty to do, good weather, nice people, beautiful...
Disadvantages: It isn't close enough to pop back for the weekend

...Prince Edward County is a small County in Ontario, which has managed to remain relatively unscathed by development and urban society, although it is quickly climbing up the property ladder and being seen as a haven away from the day-to-day hustle of big cities like Toronto. The County is an island on Lake Ontario and consists of 10 small towns: Dereronto Picton Ameliasburgh Cherry Valley Milford Bloomfield Wellignton Wapoos Northport Condecon I consider myself to be very fortunate in that my family (parents and brother and his family) have set up home in the County since I moved to Britain and as such, each trip home brings me to this fabulous slice of beauty and tranquility tucked away quietly in a nest of back roads and kind neighbours. What has Prince Edward County got to offer...

County Hall

Advantages: Good price, friendly staff, good location, good meals, quiet
Disadvantages: No wheelchair access at the front

...At the beginning of October 2008 I had to travel to Londn to attend a job interview. I wanted a reasonably priced hotel that was close to my interview location and also that offered good access to some of the London tourist attractions. The Premier Inn County Hall Hotel fit the bill and also delivered so much more. I caught a taxi from the train station and the first thing that I noticed when getting there was that the part of Belvedere Road in which the hotel is situated has barriers at either end so only traffic that has a reason for being there is allowed in...this makes the front of the hotel quieter than most places in London. The building also makes a rather striking impression as it is the listed building which used to hold the GLC. The only problem with this is that the entrance to the hotel is up a short flight of stairs...

County Reflex - It'll Do I suppose.

Advantages: Nice Pick-Up, Decent Middle, Good Value
Disadvantages: Soft-Wearing, Only Lasted 2 Seasons

...I think that it must be something to do with being back in Gloucester (Land of MY fathers) that draws me to writing reviews about things that I spent a vast amount of my childhood playing with or using. Cricket is something that, whilst mentioned on my personal homepage, I play one hell of a lot of. In the 17 years that I have played competitive cricket (Yes, I started when I was 8) I have missed a single season, after university because I couldn't find a team to play for in Rugby where I was living. I'm not a bad cricketer. I played for my county all through growing up, I played for the Leicester University First Team and have played a large amount of high level local cricket, both in Gloucester (1 league below the minor counties) and in Yorkshire (2 leagues below the minor counties). I am a wicketkeeper by trade, was coached...

My day's at County Hall

Advantages: Location, price for location
Disadvantages: No parking, poor views

...At the end of last year i needed to take a business trip to London with my boss, and the company has an account with premier travel inn. So we were booked in to County Hall for 2 nights. First Impression ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On arriving at the Hotel, the location was great, less than 100 yards from the front entrance was the 'London Eye', and everything else the south bank has to offer. Inside the hotel the atmosphere and decor was pleasant, with a few armchairs in the reception area for the weary traveller. Checking in was easy, and we were given our room cards, which were also needed to be able to use the lifts. You couldn't call a lift without swiping your card. Once entering my room, i was happy enough with the room. It of course was 'No Frills', but it was more than comfortable for my purpose. Room ~~~~~ As i have already...

Readers County Supreme

Advantages: Nice for Bowlers
Disadvantages: Terrible for Batters

...For people who dont play or follow cricket, then every cricket ball seems the same. However the truth is that cricket balls are all different which can make a large difference. I personally play at club level and have for many years. We used to be sponsored by a local sports club who manufactured their own cricket balls. Now we are being sponsored by readers and have had a couple hundred of these balls delievered. Firstly these balls are prime A quility leather stained red with gold writing. As the name of the product suggests these are county sized balls, however I arent sure of the exact measurements and weights of them. The leather is extremely tight and has being ironed out to ensure that it doesnt easily crack or deplete. I personally find these balls helpful for swing bowlers due to the leather composition and the soft cotton...

Derby County, Branko Strupar's team

Advantages: good extra striker: ravanelli
Disadvantages: still maybe not enough quality

...player of the year. You see that Branko won in Belgium everything he could win. After several Genk players were sold, also Branko wanted to leave the club, looking for a new adventure, but in the beginning of the season 1999/2000 Genk didn't let hom go. In december 1999 Branko Strupar finally got his transfer to Derby County. In the mean while Branko received the Belgian nationality. As the Croatian coach never selected him and he felt really at home in Belgium, Branko Strupar got the Belgian nationality in 1999. Almost immedeately Strupar was an international. Probably his best match ever he played in the friendly match against the Netherlands (5-5) in which he scored 2 wonderful goals. Last season Branko Strupar started very well and scored in every game. Unfortunately he got injured and hardly played a match last year. Now...

Marriott County Hall, London

Advantages: Central location, friendly attentive staff
Disadvantages: expensive drinks

...& parnips and banoffee pie to follow. We found the per head price which included half a bottle of pinot grigio was very reasonable compared to prices here in Scotland. Overall we had no complaints. the only downside was the price of drinks. Two glasses of wine cost almost £15. I would recomend anyone to use this hotel as a base for a weekend away. It is a two minute walk from Westminster tube, right next door to the BA London Eye and central for everything. If you are looking for a romantic weekend then the County Hall is the one for you. There is a spa on site to pamper you (payable directly) Or if you would like a very special wedding or civil partnership then use this hotel. The events team & banqueting manager do everything they can to help and nothing is too much bother. Whatever you do have a brilliant time at this hotel....

Stockport County AFC

Advantages: Football is the greatest game in the world ever, we're not Manchester United
Disadvantages: We lose more often than we win

...I am a season ticket holder at Stockport County, and the 2000/2001 season has just finished, with County in 19th place. The fact that relegation fears were only averted one weekend before the end of the season might not sound all that good to all you Manchester United fans down there in Taunton and Exeter. In fact, Edgeley Park (home of the County) is only seven miles from your Old Trafford ground. But you didn't know that, did you??? Anyway, to support such a team in the shadow of the two Manchester clubs takes real dedication, and the fact that our average crowd for last season was around 7,000 shows that the majority of the population of Stockport just don't turn out to watch the team. Fair play to them, sometimes County can be quite dire. Manager Andy Kilner's tactics can be beyond belief, four defenders out of five...
