(+) It is great fun and could even make you a fortune (-) Shares can fall in value as well as rise and this site does not give you advice (*) (On Ciao since: 06/2000)
(+) They are efiicient in taking your hard earned money from you.... (-) Everything - poor website, communication, unprofessional and a joke outfit! (*) (On Ciao since: 11/2005)
Advantages: None Disadvantages: Very high fees, no debt management performed
...I have to agree with the other reviewer - please, please never ever use Churchwood Financial Ltd (or any of the other companies they trade as).
I went to them because my repayments and interest were becoming unmanageable. When I finally left them almost six months later, I was simply more in debt than when I started.
They promise to take care of everything... If only this was even half way true. They promise to liaise with creditors, set up repayment agreements that will stop your interest and charges. THEY DONT!
One of the first things they tell you (\"advise you\") is to stop taking any calls or replying to any letters from creditors. Just give them all to them. They also say stop making payments. Although I was struggling, I was making all payments on time and had never been charged extra fees up until I contacted Churchwood...
Advantages: good choice, and excellant service Disadvantages: none
...Norman & Birch Ltd.
Are a Stoke-on-Trent Motorbike Dealers and Workshop, based on the edge of Hanley at Marsh street.
They have been around for as far back as I can remember, my dad brought me my first motorbike from them, along, long time ago, it was a Suzuki 100cc but that's all I can remember or care to.
I eventually went on to a Honda XL 125, Then a Honda Superdream, strange review for a woman you may think, not so, My Dad had a BSA 650, and Mum a Customised Gilera, so you see Bikes were part of family life.
Over the years Norman & Birch have serviced and M-o-T'd Motorbikes of all makes and sizes for members of my family, and always done a very efficient well priced job.
They have a good team of 3 mechanics all fully qualified to M-o-T testing standard, as of last time their rate was £30.00 per hour labour charge, but...

Review of Norman & Birch Ltd
Advantages: Fast efficient service Disadvantages: May be choppy in bad weather
...~*~ Gosport Ferry Ltd ~*~
*** The Spirit of Portsmouth ***
What is it?
This is the Gosport to Portsmouth ferry service. The ferry leaves Gosport ferry port and travels across the sea to Portsmouth.
On the Gosport side there's plenty of reasonable car parks within walking distance of the port. I am not very familiar with the surroundings of Gosport, so apologise for this.
The Portsmouth side has the Spinnaker Tower and Gunwharf Quays within stones throw of the Portsmouth port.
Tickets:
We brought our tickets from a nearby kiosk on the Gosport side. We paid around £7.00 for two adults and two children. On the leaflet I took away with me from my 'cruise ship' there are no references to prices which is a bit disappointing.
The Ferry:
The ferry itself is green and white sort of stripped...

Review of Gosport Ferry Ltd
Advantages: A fantastic way of interacting with your baby or toddler Disadvantages: You have that song in your head for hours!!
...grandchildren have loved this book from being about 5 months old. They have sat on my knee as we have discussed going to the party ( the character's on the bus are actually on the way to a birthday party), we have learned and identified colours, we have played 'spot the frog' etc and talked about the changing weather.
As they got older they soon learned to sing along and to learn the actions ( courtesy of Nana) and they loved looking at the final page where all the characters are at the party. A favourite thing was to 'find the birthday girl'.
They were all very pleased when they started nursery to knowing the song all the way through.

Advantages: friendly, cheerful, wide range of work Disadvantages: disorganised boss, paperwork everywhere
...I'm a university student and, like a huge number of other students, I look for work in the summer holidays. This summer, I've been working as PA for the managing director of Care Consultants Ltd and Applied Care Training Ltd (ACT). Yes, the same man is managing director (and sometimes struggling to manage director) for two companies, Nick Borrett. This is because neither company is very big.
Although this review is supposed to be about Care Consultants, I'll also talk about ACT, because there is a lot of overlap. While I've been there, a member of staff has invoiced the wrong company for expenses, because she works for both.
~~~ What is Care Consultants? ~~~
Care Consultants is a company that acts as project management for people building care homes. The main client is Methodist Homes for the Aged, a very large care agency...
...The Bridal Room Ltd is a bridal shop in Widnes, Cheshire that opened in October 2005. It is a family run shop. The owner is Denise and instore there is Ann who is Denise's mum and Lisa who is Denise's sister-in-law. On a Saturday Denise also has friends that come and help her run the shop.
Through my dealings withe shop I found out that Denise's Mum had been in the bridal business since making her own wedding gown 39 years before but had run it as a cottage industry from her house. Denise had always wanted to own her own shop and it took the death of her Aunt to push her into taking the plunge.
I am going to tell you about 2 experiences with this shop. The first is my own and the second is my friend.
First:
I had to have a posh frock for my husbands works do last December. He had just been promoted so he felt that as part...

Review of The Bridal Room Ltd
Advantages: Sharp, Well built, Good looking. Disadvantages: Purple fringing, Price.
...The Pentax FA77mm is one of the best lenses around. It combines excellent build quality, and a small size to create a world class lens - up with the likes of Zeiss, and Leica lenses. Its has great resolution throughout its aperture range. I have used the lens on an APS-C camera, but not yet a 35mm SLR, though have heard it performs just as well on both. Although wide open the corner resolution isnt fantastic, once stopped down the resolution is high all over the shot. The bokeh (Out of focus areas) is beautifully rendered by the 77Ltd, producing smooth backgrounds and excellent areas of shallow depth of field. Colour is vibrant and strong, and there are no odd blue or orange colour casts. Purple fringing sometimes occurs on APS-C digital SLRs, as with most lenses, but only in high contrast situations (Eg. Shooting trees against the light...
Advantages: A Busniess studies essay with a twist Disadvantages: Terminology may be confusing to some
...Updated 01/03/04
***This is a fairy tale with a twist, as it involves terminology associated with business studies. It s written in a Business Studies essay format. So I expect that not all readers will understand the plot.
Another point is that I have no grudge against Blonde females, and I do not associated cleverness with hair colour, but in a business aspect many male managers associated females in this way.***
Ms Gold E Locks was new into the security system market, which already had a very large global competitor, who had been established for several years, The 3 Bears Ltd.
Ms Locks was not to keen on building up her on customer client base and decided that the quickest and easiest way to achieve a comfortable client level would be to “borrow” some of the customers of The 3 Bears limited.

Review of Essays
Advantages: GOOD RATES. GOOD WEBSITE. GOOD SERVICE Disadvantages: RISK
...INTRO
Are you interested in buying shares ?. If so you need to find yourself a stockbroker who will buy and sell the shares for you.
As there's quite alot of stockbrokers around it's important to do a little research beforehand to find a good competitive stockbroker with low commission rates.
MY VIEWS
I've been investing in all sorts of fields over the years but the most fun without doubt has been buying and selling shares. You will have to take into account first that there is a risk involved (shares can go up as well as down) so I always say never invest in something that you cannot afford to lose.
I first joined the Halifax Share Dealing Ltd about 5 years ago and must say they have looked after me very well.
Out of my other three stockbrokers Halifax Share Dealing has definitely got the best website which is very...
