EPSOM DERBY- a fun day out

Advantages: A really fun day out for everyone young and old
Disadvantages: The mess afterwards

...On the first week in June of this year,tens of thousands of people will make their way to Epsom town centre. The small town situated in the home county of Surrey plays host to one of the biggest and one of the most famous horse races in the UK- The Epsom Derby! The History The Epsom Derby is a horse race which was first ran in 1780. In 1779 The Earl of Derby, Edward Smith Stanley organised for him and some friends to race their three year old fillies across the Downs. This race was named after his estate and became known as the Oaks. Following the success of the Oaks, The Earl decided that it would be a good idea to create another race the following year, this one was called the Derby. This race was also a great success and both continue to run today. Tha race has not gone by without controversy. On June 4th 1913 at the famous...

Review of Epsom Derby Stakes / June (London)

Does your house have any MgS04-7H2O ?

Advantages: Cheap and effective
Disadvantages: None

... EPSOM SALTS A blast from the past and a financial help to all our homes in this Credit Crunch Era!! When I think back to my childhood (and that takes a lot of thinking!) and remember our bathroom cabinet, there were all sorts of weird and wonderful concoctions that tended to be 'cure all' remedies. I am going back now to the 1950's. It was in this cabinet that I had my first introduction to olive oil, but we would not contemplate using olive oil in cooking - it was bought in a small bottle from the chemist; blocked ears were treated by a teaspoon of the warmed oil being poured into the ear, followed by a big plug of cotton wool!! Another of these 'cure all' remedies I remember well was a white rectangular box with the words 'Epsom Salts' written on, now I had no idea what it was - it was just there in our bathroom...

Review of Member Advice on Epsom Salts

Epsom Stylus D92 printer, it does what it says on the box!

Advantages: Cheap to buy, good quality printing
Disadvantages: Frustrating to set up

...Review of Epson Stylus D92 printer Epson Exceed Your Vision is the encouraging slogan on the box, but did this printer exceed my vision? Read on! The Product I purchased this printer from Tesco in October 2008. I had not owned an Epson printer before, my previous printer was a Lexmark, which, although I was quite happy with, the cost of replacement ink was very expensive. Having looked around and read a few articles in computer magazines, I settled on Epsom as the company has a good reputation and more importantly the ink seemed far more reasonable than Lexmark's. A quick price check on a comparison site showed that Tesco had the best deal around at that time, so I hot footed it to the store clutching my slip of paper with model names and numbers. I was in luck, the model I had earmarked as my first choice was in stock...

Review of Epson Stylus D92

Look out for the wild cat

Advantages: convenient to have each colour
Disadvantages: another black cartridge would be useful

...I own the Epsom DX 5050 printer which uses these ink cartridges and have been using this product for about 14 months. Firstly these multipacks are easy to spot on-line or in a shop because Epsom have used animals on the front of the packaging. This means that you do not have to read every pack in the store to find the cartridges you want, you just need to look for the picture of the big cat. This is particularly useful when you can't remember the actual numbers of the cartridges (and we have all done that!) or if reading is difficult for you. Too many IT manufacturers assume that all computer literate people are word literate too. well done Epson. The multi pack consists of one black, one cyan, one magenta and one yellow ink cartridge. The TO711, 712,713, and 714. Epsom call their ink Durabrite Ultra ink. There is no doubt that...

Review of Epson Multipack T0715 - print cartridge (C13T07154010)

CAD printer it is!

Advantages: Fast, cheap, A3
Disadvantages: slightly impared and slower on pictures

...I used to say - Only ever buy Epsom, Never HP or Lexmark - because of the cost of ink. So when i started my new job as a design engineer, and i was given one of these printers with a monstrous cost of ink, i inquired why we didn't use Epsom. I was told i would see why soon enough.. so i soldiered on - and it occurred to me that up to this day i have not changed a single cartridge...it has been 11 MONTHS! 11 Months without a cartridge change, and they only cost £12 anyway....wah could possible be bad about this printer..? its faster than an Epsom, and the picture quality is not far behind... my advise...buy this printer!! This printer has not been surpassed by any i have ever used to date!...

Review of HP Deskjet 1220c

Genuine Epson Ink Black T0481 better or not

Advantages: great photo quality & long print run
Disadvantages: expensive

...Usually I get through printers like hoovers, every 3 months or so but I must say I have been using an Epson R series printer for the last 4 years and would be looking to replace with another epsom. The quality of print is in many respects down to the printer but if you put cheap ink into the printer then it doesn't matter how great your printer is the result will be poor especially for photo quality. I use both genuine epson ink including the T0481, plus cheaper alternatives and the end result varies tremendously. I have found the depth & vividness of the genuine T0481 not only superior to cheaper immitations but more so the effect it has on different types of media. Gives excellent colour & staying power across the entire range copy-high gloss photo paper. The T0481 is a decent size which lasts quite a while, printing...

Review of Epson SX400

For good rates look elsewhere

Advantages: Customer Service is second-to-none
Disadvantages: Some good products, but no great products...

...National Counties (or NCBS) are a long-established but small Building Society, with a very large capital base (£93m I think). Their investment accounts are conducted largely by post (the Society only has one small branch in Epsom, Surrey) whilst mortgage business is all administered at their Head Office - also in Epsom, Surrey. NCBS offers quite a wide variety of investment accounts, although almost all of them have a reasonably high minimum opening balance - I think the lowest is £500 on the Direct Access Share Accounts, although there are concessions for investors living within the Epsom area. The interest offered on all their accounts is quite poor; to achieve a good rate you have to have a very high balance, as the interest rates are on a 'tiered' system - in other words, the higher your balance, the higher your interest rate will...

Review of National Counties Building Society

Great machine

Advantages: easy to use
Disadvantages: ink cartridges initially hard to replace

...We picked the Epsom 440 because of the quality of the print. The salesamn had recommended it and showed comparisons with other printers. It is easy to use and easy to maintain. The software with this printer is also very simple to understand so for novices like us it was imperative that things were not too complicated. You can have it set to economic levels or standard, the economy settings save on ink, especially if you are printing drafts. It is small and compact and fits neatly into the computer desk....

Review of Epson Stylus Color 440

Great glossy photo paper by Epson

Advantages: excellent quality. durable and easy to use
Disadvantages: high price, low number of sheets (20) per pack

...Having Just an Epson printer to print photographs from my pc, I decided to use the manufacturers approved paper. Epson Durabrite Photo Paper is excellent for printing glossy high quality photos. And with DuraBrite pigment ink for a better bright and detailed print together with its 200gsm weight means it's ideal for photos. I bought the 20-sheet pack on line for £7.34 online and at this price its only going to be used for special photos, I also paid £1.50 for postage and packaging. This price equates to 34- 40 pence a photo so any mistakes printing are costly, but the quality is good and I haven’t had any problems as yet. So if you need to print quality pictures and you have an Epsom printer (would work in any printer as it I standard A4) I would highly recommend this paper with its glossy coating and durable...
