With Arriva you may actually arive...

Advantages: New fleets for new routes, and the majourity of the older buses repainted if not completely refurbished both inside and out., Lots of new training buses, whih mean more employment and better services., Improvment to local travel as a whole.
Disadvantages: High fares for all services (although I hope these are only to cover short term losses and will be reconcidered when all services are stable). No change what-so-ever on the already shambolic train front. Bad customer relations when it comes to info.

...Arriva took over from Merseyside Travel Limited (MTL) in early 2000. This was seen as a lifeline to the laughing stock of the North’s bus services. Delays, high fares, buses that turned up only when the company had enough money to fill them with petrol, dirty vehicles and millions of pounds of debt put off generations of people off public buses and into their cars which caused many problems for Liverpool and the surrounding area. Arriva knew the task it was taking on, and the many problems it would have to overcome. But it also knew of the major monopoly that MTL had on Merseyside bus services, and the franchise MTL held with Merseyrail. CMT, the nearest competitor, was a fraction of the size of MTL, and so Arriva promised the people of Merseyside a first class, quality bus service within 5 years. 3 years on, and what...

Review of Arriva Merseyside

Enjoy yourself with added guilt.

Advantages: Free. Lots to see and do
Disadvantages: I couldn't see a cafe. Perhaps I missed it. There are plenty around anyway

...long in there as we did. we only had 45 mins before we went floating in a bus on the dock! The exhibitions included customs, Liverpool as a naval port and the battle of the atlantic, and the titanic, which was built on merseyside. The museum has a knack of making everything so interesting through it's touchy feely approach. There are screens everywhere inviting you to go and play. The museums best exhibition is about the slave trade, where Liverpool holds a dubious reputation. The artefacts are interesting, with tribal masks and mud hut reconstructions but it is the multimedia that blows you away. Sound and light seems to come from all directions. The use of well designed photo projection and videos of actors actually leaves you feeling quite harrowed and ashamed. There is a central projection are filled with the sounds and sights...

Review of Spice Garden, Merseyside

From a quiet village in Merseyside?!

Advantages: Original, and with the amazing track 'dreaming of you'
Disadvantages: Could be described as a bit samey. Some people will definately not like it.

...The coral are a band from Liverpool who have hit the big time after only two albums in the space of a year (2002-2003)- sound familiar?! The coral have drawn influence from their merseyside predecessors and it shows in this self titled album with obvious Beatles influence. The band compromises of 7 members: James Skelly - guitar / vocals Ian Skelly - drums Nick Power - organ / vocals Bill Ryder-Jones - guitar / trumpet Lee Southall - guitar / vocals Paul Duffy - bass / sax John Duffy - Percussion all of which are vital to this exciting album. Right, so down to the album itself. 1.Spanish Main - 1:53 We begin with a weird chord and slightly obscure infectious guitar solo. This is a real intro as each member joins in one by one then with the vocals. 'We'll set sail again, we're heading for the Spanish main' is...

Review of All About Me

Manchester United - Champions.

Advantages: great entertainment, great to watch, good hobby.
Disadvantages: can get to addicted, costs quite a lot to view in real life.

...defiantly Merseyside was shocked. Manchester United will never die, they will always be up there fighting for top spot and 9 times out of 10 will be on the top spot as we have seen 11 times in the past 16 years!...

I'm not sure this product exists? (Cadbury Chocolate Fingers)

Advantages: You have to eat the whole box, no option.
Disadvantages: You will put on serious weight!

...and although the biscuit is sweet I feel it gives an almost sweet (with the chocolate) and savoury (with the biscuit) taste. Top biscuit! Also when you have completed on layer there is another one underneath! These are the fingers for me!
