Shop until you drop: Kendals!

Advantages: Great location and great range of items
Disadvantages: some things expensive!

...younger shop assistants on this floor and they are very knowledgeable about the products they are selling On the second and third floor they have clothing for older women and I have never really ventured on these floors but I believe that they offer a very good range of clothing and shoes! (Children's wear is also on the third floor and stock mini versions of clothing most adults would love!!) For the home: 4/5/6 floors Home goods is where Kendals comes into its own I think as it is such a large store that it is able to carry a very wide range items. Electrical good etc are on the 6th floor and all the main makes are offered here including the latest technology including TVs, videos, DVDs and music systems. For furniture they offer everything from bedrooms down to lighting and carpets over 3 floors in the store. They have...

Review of Kendalls

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...

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...

Review of Cannon Kendal C60EKW/KENDAL C60EKS

It's not just for passing by, call on in.

Advantages: A charming and interesting town
Disadvantages: Too much Kendal Mint Cake is bad for the waist line!!

...To many people Kendal is a place name they see on the M6 if travelling to Scotland, or a name linked to the famous Mint Cake. It is in fact a lot more than that ? it is a lovely little Market Town well worth a visit in it?s own right. WHERE IS KENDAL? Originally Kendall was part of the, now defunct, county of Westmorland, it is now part of the South Lakeland district of Cumbria, 6 miles from junction 36 of the M6. Known as ?Gateway to the Lakes?, Kendal is in fact not part of the Lake District, although it is very close to it, less than a mile from the park?s boundary. It is, in fact, only around 9 miles from Windermere and around 30 miles from Keswick. The other lakes are all within an hour or two's travelling by car from the town It is a lovely, historic little town nestled in the valley on the banks of the River Kent...

Review of Kendal in General

To Mount Everest and Beyond.......

Advantages: Great source of energy for walkers, very tasty
Disadvantages: none

...Ever since I was little I have enjoyed this minty treat. I remember the days when you used to be able to buy Kendal Mint cake in the local spar, but those days are gone and you can no longer find Kendal mint cake as easily as popping into your local shop but instead it is found in the likes of health food stores such as Holland and Barret, and outdoor stores such as go outdoors. =WHAT IS IT Kendal Mint cake essentially is a glucose-based bar flavoured with peppermint that is often consumed by climbers and mountaineers due to it's high energy content. I love the great outdoors and my partner and I head off on a new hill walking adventure every other weekend and this Mint cake is often packed into my bag so I can nibble on it when I feel like I need an energy boost. It truly is a great source of energy as I always feel...

Review of Romneys Kendal Mint Cake

Yum yum!

Advantages: The unique flavour and size of bars
Disadvantages: Some may find it too sugary!

...I absolutely love Kendal Mint cake - it is one of those sweet items that I have enjoyed since I've been little and continue to love even though. I don't know that many people who like it and I never know why because in my opinion it is just so nice!! What is it? Kendal mint cake is a block of sugar, glucose, water and peppermint oil. It is made by the sugar, glucose and sugar being boiled in a copper pan whilst being stirred and then the peppermint oil being added. Apparently if the mixture wasn't stirred then this would mean the mixture would become clear like glacier mints. Once it is ready the mixture is then the moulds and sets. It is so called Kendal mint cake because that is where it is made but there are different companies who do make it one being the above, Romleys. How big is it? What I like about Kendal Mint cake is...

Review of Romneys Kendal Mint Cake

Great value for money hotel!

Advantages: food great selection, staff friendly close to town
Disadvantages: nothing

...I stayed at the Stonecross Manor Hotel with my friend and had a brilliant time. It is a superbly modernised leisure hotel in Kendal, right in the heart of the southern and central Lake District I'm really shocked at some of the negative feedback I've seen from people who have stayed at this hotel as I really enjoyed my stay. I'd read reviews slating the hotel before I booked it but after going to hotels in the past which I've really liked but heard negative feedback from them I knew not to take into account everyones views as we all have different expectations, and some of us are more fussier then others haha! First of all I'd like to mention how wonderful and welcoming the staff, they really made me and my friend Vicky feel right at home from the minute we entered the hotel! The food in the Stonecross Manor Hotel is...

Felicity the Sleeping Beauty

Advantages: a cheery fairytale
Disadvantages: people won't get some of the references

...I adapted and personalized Sleeping Beauty for my friend as part of her 16th birthday present and recently found it buried in the depths of my documents. The people referred to are my friends but I don't think that not knowing them affects the story. Hope you like it... Once upon a time, there was a Queen who had a beautiful baby daughter called Felicity. She asked all the fairies in the kingdom to the christening (and believe me that's a lot of fairies), but unfortunately forgot to invite one of them, who, unluckily, happened to be 'Laura the incredibly evil witch'. I am very sorry to say that she came anyway, because she didn't realise she wasn't invited, but when she found out all hell broke loose. As she passed Felicity's cradle, she cried out, "When you are sixteen, you will injure yourself with a knitting needle and die...

Review of Fiction

A Great Way To Spend Sunday Mornings

Advantages: Great Ensemble Drama
Disadvantages: On a rarely watched channel. You need digitsl to watch it.

...Felicity is an underrated ensemble drama that ITV have decided to waste by putting it on a rarely watched digital channel. (Well I don't watch ITV2, only Felicity!) It is on ITV2 weekday afternoons or the omnibus addition on Sunday mornings. It would do better if they put it on after Coronation Street or something. Basically, it is the story of Felicity Porter and her friends who are at a university in NewYork. Its seems more realistic than Dawson's Creek, and other similar dramas. There is a big ensemble cast who have their own lives and problems. Ben, who Felicity followed to New York. Julie who was adopted and had come to find her mother. Noel the Resident's Advisor who Felicity ends up going out with. Javier, Felicity's gay boss who wants to sty in the US with his lover. Elena who want to be a doctor and finds out her...
