Wow a review on a petrol station

Advantages: Convenient
Disadvantages: Not as cheap as the nearby Tesco filling station

...I saw this as a review and seeing as I regularly top up at thsi particular station, I thought Id let you all know about it.. although I have to admit Filling Stations dont spark much much interest! This BP branded garage is situated on the infamous North Circular Road (A406), and can only be accessed when travelling eastbound. It is about 1 mile past the East Finchley turning. It is easy to see and so you shouldnt past it by mistake. That said, this is one of the few places on the A406 where there isnt too much traffic so you could whizz past it if you are speeding (would serve you right!) It is clean and large, and has the full range of unleaded, LPG and diesel fules. It can get busy, but I dont usually have to queue for more that 5 mins. One of the better things about this garage is that it has a 'BP connect shop...

Review of BP Byron Filling Station, London

IVE GOT GAS - OF THE LPG VARIETY

Advantages: Cost, Improves range, Energy reliance, green, improving technology
Disadvantages: Small amount of petrol to start

...My LPG conversion was installed a year ago I had being toying with the idea for a while. after hearing my partners uncle had it on a Lexus I took the plunge. 2 grand a small wheel like tank in tool slot at rear of vehicle and it was installed. The LPG can be switched between petrol and LPG and the fact you can have a tank of petrol and a tank of Gas gives your car a longer range. The LPG tank is full for £20 as oppose to £30 for half a tank of petrol - such a big difference but the car needs a small amount of petrol to start so I keep a quarter of a tank of petrol in usually just for that purpose. If you get the LPG system installed correctly the car doesnt suffer much loss in power. I was made aware of rally cars with 200hp engines running on gas and I also drove a converted vauxhall calibre that really flew, overtaking was easy...

Filling Fodder.

Advantages: A great snack or a meal.
Disadvantages: High in fat

..., this goes some way to explain the fact that their goods hold a heftier price tag. The Deep Filled Steak Slice contains wheat, milk, gluten and eggs. Each 180g slice contains 455 calories, 15.1g protein, 38.4g carbohydrate of which2.8g is sugar. 27.0g of fat, of which 12.7g is saturated fat, 2.9g fibre and 0.75g sodium. A brief look at the nutritional content explains in no uncertain terms that these slices are rich, both the fat and the calorie content are high. We and millions of others enjoy Ginsters pies and pasties, they make a good meal, they are great to take on a picnic and if you regularly travel up and down the motorways I am sure that you will have noticed them on sale at the service stations. A delicious snack come meal that has appeal which comes at a price. But all in all the price is reflected in the quality...

Review of Ginsters Deep Fill Steak Pie

LPG should you? My experiance as a guide.

Advantages: Cost if done right
Disadvantages: Cost if done wrong

...I have been running on LPG for a little over five years now, and covered a shade under 220,000 miles in two cars. The first car was a Honda Accord 2.2 Coupe that had 65,000 miles on the clock when I had it converted to gas. Used was a cheap and basic OMVL kit. This basically converted an injection engine, into a carburettor engine by inserting little more than an open pipe into the inlet manifold, allowing the engine to suck the gas into the cylinders for combustion. Luckily the engine was powerful enough to start with to compensate for the resulting drop in power. There was a cylinder in the boot behind the back seats which made the boot one foot shorter, but I still retained the full sized spare wheel. The engine was from the ultimately reliable Honda stable so; all the problems that I could/should of have had with such a cheap...

Non fill filler

Advantages: it moisturises
Disadvantages: It didn't work for me

...fSoap and glory the fill monty With a 3 for 2 offer on at Boots and wanting to try these products, this is one of the products I decided to try. THE PROMISES... The product promises to be a dab on instant wrinkle filler and although I always try to convince myself that I am not taken in by this kind of product, I am clearly seduced by the promises. The virtual retouching technology will apparently help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles (not the wrinkles!). This all sounds very good to me; reduction of wrinkles without anything more scary than a bit of cream. PRODUCT AND PACKAGING... The packaging is similar to most of the other Soap and Glory products, and is very reminiscent of the advertising in the 1950s. The box itself is pink with lots of writing in different fonts, all extolling the virtues of the product...

Review of Soap and Glory the Fill Monty

LPG Vehicles,Should you or Shouldn't you

Advantages: Cheaper fuel costs/extended service intervals
Disadvantages: Finding petrol stations that sell LPG

...& my fuel costs dropped around 35% . It is amazing how many people come up to you in petrol stations asking for information on LPG & what you think of it,A lot of people have heard of it but are very sceptical about having there cars converted. I never found it an issue locating Petrol stations that sold LPG,but even if you were caught short you just filled the car up with a little petrol & carried on your way. The service intervals that were recomended to me were double the manufacturers service intervals & the vehicle never let me down once, I have since sold the vehicle & the new owner is as impressed with it as I was....

Lego City Police Station - 7744 - Great addition to lego fans!

Advantages: Assembly in stages, easy to follow for older children/adults
Disadvantages: Base a bit floppy for moving the police station around

...My son got this Lego City Police Station for his 8th birthday. We paid £48.89 from Argos for it. It took me and my husband quite a while to help my son build it. But the end result was great. It comes in one box. Within the box are smaller bags. All the bags are numbered and all have a booklet inside for the particular part of the police station/vehicle. None of the items were missing, there were a few bits over though, which come in handy for the lego box! It is really easy to follow (for an adult), but I don't think my 8 year old would have had the knowledge or patience to build it himself. Some children his age probably could, but I'd say any child would probably need a bit of help from an adult. I think it's quite nice to have adult and child building something together anyway, so this isn't a disadvantage in my eyes! My...

Review of Lego Police: Police Station

sex on the beach and orgasms on the royal mile

Advantages: sells cocktails, happy hour, great food, good atmosphere
Disadvantages: can get very very busy.

...The filling station is situated on the royal mile just over from the festival office. It is decorated in an american diner theme, with a bar then good sized seating area mainly made up of booths. The bar is very popular and it is always impossible to get a seat at busy times. The reason the bar is so popular is that it sells cocktails in glasses or a pitcher priced at ten pounds. This is good value as they are generous with the shots. The range of cocktails is large will all the popular ones listed such as sex of the beach, orgasm, mudslide, slippery nipple and so on. If cocktails are not what you are looking for they do all the well known beers such as stella, bodingtons, millars, murpheys, woodpecker. The bar has a happy hour running from five to eight during the week, cocktails are half price and prints tend to be about...

Review of Filling Station

56p -61p a litre!!!!

Advantages: Cheap fuel, reliable, good for the enviroment
Disadvantages: Takes up some space, only 1200 filling stations

...How would you like to pay 1995 prices again for your fuel? That is between 56p - 61p a litre! Too good to true? A gimmick? Not so, it's even encouraged by the Government. There is no catch, if you want to pay these prices, consider having your car converted to run on LPG. What is LPG? LPG is short for Liquid Petroleum Gas, commonly known as Auto Gas, most petrol driven cars or vans (not diesels) can be converted to run on LPG which almost cuts your fuel costs in half. Currently, there are around 140.000 cars running around the UK able to run on LPG & 11 million worldwide. With around 1200 filling stations with LPG facilities in the UK you are never far away from being able to fill up. LPG is a by product of the extraction & refining of crude oil giving no burn off & it is very environmentally friendly. LPG vehicles emit less Co2...

The Station Agent

Advantages: excellent writing, acting, direction...
Disadvantages: none.

...The Station Agent is an extraordinary film for a number of reasons. The first is that it is stunningly simple in story and script and yet intriguingly complex in theme and emotional resonance. The second is that it has a strong social conscience without a hint of condescension. The third is that it is funny, touching, sweet, lyrical and beautifully paced, which is sadly not something we see every day. This tiny crystalline gem of a movie took the critics by storm and as far as I can see, they were entirely within reason to praise it to the skies. The Film Stuff: Finbar McBride - PETER DINKLAGE Olivia Harris - PATRICIA CLARKSON Joe Oramas - BOBBY CANNAVALE Cleo - RAVEN GOODWIN Emily - MICHELLE WILLIAMS Written and Directed by THOMAS McCARTHY in his directorial debut. 88 mins Certificate 15 Fin lives...
