Review of North West Airlines

The Standing Stones of North West Wales

Advantages: Well-written, well-researched
Disadvantages: None

...The Standing Stones of north western Wales by Michael Senior is, at 96 pages, a relatively slim volume. But what it lacks in size it makes up for by the breadth and depth of the knowledge that Michael Senior manages to fill this book with. Unlike far too many people in this field, Senior does not make unwarranted assumptions or presumptions. He gently chides (with good humour, it has to be added) some of the other researchers and writers. He cites, as an example, a notice erected by the ancient stone avenue at Avebury, in distant Wiltshire: "'This monument', states a notice at the stone avenue of Avebury, 'was erected in about 3,000 BC, for a unknown religious purpose.'" But Senior remains unconvinced by such guesswork. He goes on to say: "If un know, one immediately wants to ask, why assume it was religious?" Senior argues...

Review of The Standing Stones of north-western Wales - Michael Senior

Great restaurant in North West London

Advantages: Great service and honest welcome
Disadvantages: None to report.

...The restaurant is an independent Nepalese or Indian restaurant, that specialise in preparing and cooking Nepalese cuisine to customers in Eastcote. Eastcote is located in North West London. The store is located on Eastcote High Street which is a quite posh and upmarket area of North West London. I have visited this restaurant on a number of occasions including birthday and ordinary family celebrations at this venue. Located to the right of this shop is painting and decorating shop and to the left is a stationery shop. The thing other than the local and convenient access for myself in Eastcote is that I have really been taken in by the high standards of service throughout the meal ordering and serving process. The staff are professional, attentive and courteous. The main reason I like the restaurant was based on seeing the food freshly...

Review of North West Airlines

  The Wilder West

Advantages: Unspoiled wilderness, fascinating sights and sites
Disadvantages: Persistent rainfall, persistent sandflies

...Having crossed the Southern Alps and reached the coast at Greymouth, you may be tempted to head south straight away. This is, after all, the direction in which the highest mountains, the deepest rainforest and the remotest tracts of wilderness are to be found. And if you haven't come to see mountains, forest and wilderness, you've come to the wrong place. Resist the temptation. First, cross the Grey River and take a small diversion up the coast to the north, just an hour's drive to the Paparoa National Park. You will thereby ensure that your first taste of the west coast is not the relatively drab and developed stretch immediately south of Greymouth (only relatively, since nothing along this coast is drab or developed by European standards). North of the Grey River the country is hardly touched, and the drive takes you round...

Review of West Coast & Glaciers (New Zealand)

Wanted - Ancestors in the north west of England!

Advantages: Totally free service, decent site search facility, new records added reguarly
Disadvantages: Not fully comprehensive, otherwise none

...with a simple map of the county demonstrating that Lancashire once extended to Liverpool in one direction and north towards the Lake District in another. For those who would like to get actively involved, the next link on the list is headed Volunteer Opportunities - I did attempt this once and discovered that transcribing records just wasn't amongst my strengths, but it might suit some people better than others and I think it's a good idea to encourage visitors to interact with the site and help to increase the number of available records. The Links page is not one that I regularly visit, but it is worth a look because it gives details of other family history resources and other county online parish clerks (Leicestershire, Cornwall, Wiltshire and Essex are amongst them) but it is worth bearing in mind that some of these other projects have been...

The North Pier, Blackpool

Advantages: Lots of fresh air, fully accessible by disabled visitors
Disadvantages: A small admission charge

...If you think about the main English seaside resorts then the chances are that they will have a pier. There is something very quintessentially English about seaside piers and in Britain they are largely restricted to England, with a handful in Wales and none at all north of the border in Scotland. Blackpool in the north west of England is unusual because it boasts three different piers. The North Pier, Central Pier and South Pier. As its name suggests The North Pier has the most northerly location of the three. It is also the oldest pier in the town and at 503 metres long it is also its longest pier. Eugenius Birch was drafted in to design The North Pier. He had been responsible for the design of Britain's first seaside pier at Margate. This was his second pier project and following its success he would go on to design a further...

Review of North West Airlines

Possibly America's best airline...?

Advantages: Good route network, comfortable seating
Disadvantages: Food poor in domestic economy, staff not always great, safety concerns

...---Introduction--- The title of this review "Possibly America's best airline" is meant to be slightly tongue-in-cheek. I have to date flown with several American carriers, including Delta, American Airlines and Northwest and to be honest none of them were really shining stars in the firmament of airlines. This review is based on my experiences flying with Northwest, both on their international and domestic networks. ---Pre-flight details--- My flight was booked via a high street travel agent and was a one-way economy ticket from London Gatwick (LGW) to Great Falls (GTF), a mid-sized town in north central Montana. This routing meant I had to change 'planes in Minneapolis-St. Paul (MSP) with a layover of about 5 hours. Cost of the ticket was GBP 280 and the relevant flight numbers are NW43 (London to Minneapolis) and NW709...

Review of North West Airlines

Wife in the north

Advantages: Some humour
Disadvantages: Not much happens

...As a wife in Northumberland myself, I was keen to read Judith O?Reilly?s book, wife in Northumberland. I had seen the book for sale in Waterstones but thought I would borrow it from my local library. There was a long waiting list (obviously others wanted to read a book with a local connection) After a wait of 3 weeks I was very keen to start reading! The cover of the book with its cartoon family suggests that this is a humorous book. To confirm this there is a quote from Jenny Colgan saying that she howled with laughter at every page. This sounded like my kind of light read. However this book was not what I had been expecting. There is a lot of humour but it is also a very poignant and moving book. The book is written in diary form and plots Judith?s reluctant move from London to north Northumberland. The opening entry describes...
