Location, Location is an informative property programme

Advantages: Gives you lots of ideas that you cant possibly afford to carry out!
Disadvantages: None

...heard offering some soothing words to a frazzled Kirstie. One thing that has always puzzled me is Kirsties determination to keep her black mac wrapped tightly around her, more often than not it is tied like a sack in the middle! In many of the programmes the sun has appeared to be shining and there is Kirstie sweating it out in her black belted garb. Phil always seems to favour the casual approach, the slacks, the open necked shirt and the favourite old jacket. It is always interesting when they meet the prospective house buyers for the first time, you can immediately sense whether there will be an instant rapport or whether some animosity may well creep in at some point within the next hour. The couple who are searching for a new property in a new location to offer them the lifestyle that they crave. Sometimes the couple are...

Sweet Sound Echo Location

Advantages: Chill out music, Good Value CD
Disadvantages: Not widely known of, not always available in high st shops

...Some of my best buys have come about completely by accident and this is another. I came across Honeyroot in July 2004, a month after their debut album; Sound Echo Location was released on the Just Music label. I was actually looking to buy a CD for a friend's birthday, a Jon Hopkins CD, none were in stock so I took a listen to the sample tracks available and I was mesmerised..... Honeyroot were founded by ex-Heaven 17 (Temptation, We Don't Need This Fascist Grove Thing) front man Glenn Gregory & ex-ABC member, Keith Lowndes. Now, you'd have thought with both of these contentious characters any music that was as a result of a musical partnership, would be heavily influenced by the 80's music scene, you couldn't be more wrong. Imagine lying on a beach in Ibiza (or similar clubbers paradise), imagine a night filled with clubbing...

Review of Sound Echo Location - Honeyroot

Where is your ideal location, location, location?

Advantages: Phil is very funny, great to nosy around peoples houses.
Disadvantages: Kirstie's moaning can get a bit much.

...Location Location Location is hosted by Kirstie Allsopp & Phil Spencer and is shown on miscellaneous days at miscellaneous times on More 4 and Channel 4. The show meets couples, relatives or friends who want to buy a property. Phil & Kirstie will get together with them and discuss their requirements such as how many bedrooms are required & which area they would like to live in or near. They will also find out the budget they have and sometimes Phil & Kirstie will work together to find properties and other times they will go head to head and both try and find the dream property that will be picked at the end by the participants. There are quite often people with difficult demands or unrealistic requirements such as 10 acres of land in a town location and this regularly drives Kirstie mad. Kirstie is very vocal to these people...

Locate to Channel 4

Advantages: Interesting viewing
Disadvantages: I'm not even a first time buyer yet!

...?Presenters? Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer one of the most famous onscreen couples on television today. Kirstie and Phil are both professional property hunters and aspire to help others full-fill their property dreams. On what at times can be a very tight budget. They both have other property related ventures away from the television set. Kirstie has her own 'moving sense' brand which is a fragranced candle to use if you're trying to sell your house. Phil writes for a very luxurious magazine 'lusso luxury'. Giving readers advice about anything property related. The magazine is only £4.40 so what are you missing??

Location cubed

Advantages: Entertaining, lots of useful tips and advice
Disadvantages: None

...Property shows are very popular right now and are loads out there: A Place In The Sun, Property Ladder, House Auction, Selling Houses, Relocation Relocation Relocation, and my favourite, Location Location Location, which is the predecessor of Relocation x3. Each show, Phil Spencer and Kirstie Allsopp help aspiring homeowners find their ideal home. They organise viewings to four different properties, in the hope of finding their dream house, and Phil and Kirstie dish out useful tips and advice on buying a house along the way. This sounds very simple, boring in fact, but believe me, it's not! There are a million and one property shows around right now, but this is one of the originals and definitely the best. If you're planning on buying your first home, then this will be invaluable. The tips and snippets of information from these...

Location, Location, Location

Advantages: Good tips on what to do when purchasing a house
Disadvantages: :Dislike the word 'crash pad' (which is used quite often)

...I really like Location, Location, Location. The current series is on Channel 4 at 8pm every Wednesday. The presenters Phil and Kirsty help 2 sets of potential buyers look for a house each week. Phil and Kirsty work really well together and have great chemistry. I like the way Kirsty has become more outspoken as each series progresses. She doesn't hold back if the clients are being difficult. I find it harder to relate to the programmes when the person/couple has a budget of £600,000, but I really enjoy the programmes with a lower budget. I think they really work well with first time buyers and are quite patient with them. It also gives the viewer a chance to see the house prices across the UK and Ireland and what you can get for your money. They also give some useful tips on what to look for when you are purchasing a house...

What's On The Market Today?

Advantages: Great fun to watch, very funny
Disadvantages: Repetitive

...Location, Location, Location is a property show shown on Channel 4 on Wednesdays at 8pm, each series runs for approximately 8 episodes, 60 minutes an episode (including advert breaks) and it tends to run throughout the summer. The show has become so popular that it has even launched another similar show aptly named Relocation, Relocation much like Big Brother?s Little Brother is to Big Brother. The show has been running since way back in 2001 and since then it?s popularity has soared through the roof. It?s presented by Phil Spencer and Kirstie Allsopp, both property experts in their own right, they scour the country, helping confused property buyers find the right house to suit their needs.

Good location for the price

Advantages: Location, Breakfast and Room Size
Disadvantages: Large hotel so can get very busy

...What Made Me Choose This Hotel? We were visiting London to see a couple of West End shows and the Strand Palace is, as the name suggests, right on The Strand. Theatres are like Chinese restaurants in Chinatown on The Strand so we knew that the hotel was in a decent location. Prices + Booking There are over 780 rooms in this hotel, so it's pretty large and there always seems to be availability at any time of the year. We booked directly through the hotel website where they often have special online deals. You can also call the hotel direct to make a reservation. Various discount hotel websites also list The Strand Palace so my advice would be to shop around for the lowest price. Like other major cities, London hotel prices are extortionate, but I would class The Strand Palace as a fair-priced hotel, considering its location. You...

Review of The Strand Palace Hotel, London

Location, Location, Location

Advantages: Ideally located for most of London
Disadvantages: Limited evening eating.

...The Corus hotel is based at Lancaster Gate, London. Rather nicely it sits opposite Hyde Park which gives you an opportunity to spend some relaxing time of a morning or evening. Checking in As I arrived at my hotel (paid for by my company) I was quite pleasantly surprised, in the Lobby the walls are covered with a beige marble; this then turns to white paintwork. My initial impression was that the location was a bit fancy for a company placement. I was cheerfully greeted by Wee Wee and Wee Lee who took a lot of time and effort to explain the hotel facilities, the surrounding location and how easy it was to reach my room. This was by far the most professional reception I have ever received in a London hotel. The Room My room had a price tag of £89 per night which included a full English breakfast. My room number was 310...

Review of Corus Hotel Hyde Park, London

Location, location, location

Advantages: Very central location, ideal for public transport and exploring the city
Disadvantages: Can be noisy as it is so near the main station

...Finding an affordable hotel in most Scandinavian cities tends to be a challenge, and this certainly proved to be the case on a recent business trip to Oslo. Norway is an expensive country for most overseas visitors and while the global economic downturn has depressed many European economies and driven prices down, Oslo seems to have remained largely unaffected - with the result that most hotels were well out of my price range. Still, the website for the Rica Oslo seemed promising and the hotel itself looked pretty smart, which in some cities is not always a given for accommodation so close to the main station. The location of this hotel is without doubt its greatest asset: no more than 5 minutes' walk separate the platforms for the Flytoget (Oslo airport express train) from the Rica Oslo reception desk. You head out of the front...
