Advantages: Everything you need under one roof

...I came across this store Go Outdoors about 1 year ago when I went with my partner, he needed some new boots for work and he was told about this place from a friend of his. It is a store that sells everything to do with outdoors from coats and jackets to tents, any thing to do with camping, fishing equipment, skiing, cycling, caravanning, boots, maps every thing you need. The store we went to is in Coventry it is situated at Coventry Business Park, Canley Road, just 10 minutes from the NEC which is not to far from us. It had ample parking places, and it is open every day of the week.

Upon entering the huge store which is 50...

The Great Outdoors

Advantages: It's FREE
Disadvantages: time and effort

...As there seems to be a trend towards magazines this month I thought I would throw in my two pence worth and tell you about a little gem that I have discovered. The magazine is entitled Outdoors and according to the blurb on the opening page it has been created as part of the PlantforLife campaign which aims to help get the most out of your garden. The campaign has been financed with the assistance of the European Community, so I supposed that means we have already indirectly contributed towards it, but the wonderful thing about this magazine is that you can get your own copy absolutely FREE. Isn't that a wonderful word, always makes me sit up and take notice. It is sent out four times a year to cover each season and the current one which I've just received is issue two, Summer 2004. It's a glossy magazine containing a mere...

Boots - the Store

Advantages: Quality products all under one roof
Disadvantages: None

...Everybody's favourite High Street chemist and beauty store! The Boots Company PLC is a chain of high street stores known for their pharmacy and beauty/health products. You can find a Boots on just about every high street in Britain. In fact Boots has approximately 1,500 stores in the UK and abroad. This is the thing I like most about it, you are always guaranteed to find a store wherever you are in the country which makes it easy when you need to buy a repeat brand or just need to pop into one quickly because you have left your toothbrush at home on a weekend away. Boots was founded in Nottingham in 1849 by a gentleman called John Boot, hence the name and turned into a chain by his son Jesse. Boots stores are very easy to spot and recognize on the high street. They include a big blue sign with Boots written on it in cursive white...

* Do it outdoors - safely! .

Advantages: Made for the job.
Disadvantages: Has to be carried.

...First aid kits for outdoor pursuits. The problem with outdoor pursuits, is that they do tend to take place some distance from "civilisation", and as such brings with it the fact that any massistance required, is going to take some time to arrive. This is where you are going to need equipment like a good basic first aid kit, to deal with any injuries you may have. The one illustrated is by the First Aid Warehouse, they market this one as the "The OUTABS First Aid Kit". This kit is aimed at instructors or for use in suppost vehicles, kits designed to be carried as personal issue, are a lot smaller, and easier to stow. Contents Box - for some reason this is coloured red, made from sturdy plastic, if a little rigid, personally I would have preferred a bag, much more comfortable when stuffed into a rucksac. EDIT. I am...

Boots!

Advantages: You can buy most things here
Disadvantages: Some things are slightly more expensive than other places

...Ive been thinking about writing an op on Boots for months, but theres just a million and one things to say about it, so Ive been holding off. But since Ive been gone for such a long time I might aswell come back with some big ops! "Boots The Chemist" is one of the best known retail names in the UK, providing health & beauty products that "enhance personal wellbeing." This covers everything from home essentials like toothpaste and deoderant to high end makeup products from Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent. Boots employ around 75,000 people and their products are sold in 130 countries worldwide. As well as retailing, they have international sales and marketing operations and also develop and manufacture their own products.

Review of Boots Boots

Boots

Advantages: Convenient, loyalty points system, frequent special offers
Disadvantages: Some overpriced items

...Boots is a well-known chemist with stores up and down the country. If you don't have one near you, or find it inconvenient, you can buy products from the website at http://www.boots.com. Boots sell cosmetics, medicines, perfumes, haircare products, even sandwiches, and they are even branching out into areas like Botox, photo-processing, opticians, and laser-eye surgery! I have seen these advertised, but I have not used these services, so I can't comment on them. I have two stores near me, but I'm concentrating on the Trafford Centre branch for now. It is spread out into two floors - the ground floor deals with photo-processing and baby products, ie: nappies, bottles, etc. The upper floor is dedicated almost entirely to cosmetics, haircare products, etc, with a small section for the food (sandwiches, crisps, drinks, etc...

in the boot!

Advantages: Conveniently located and stocks the esentials
Disadvantages: a bit more expensive then other shops

...In almost every shopping centre and walkway you will find a Boots store. Quick history lesson: Boots was established in 1849 by a man named John Boot and his son jesse. The company was sold to an American drug company in the 20's and was sold back to British owners in the 30's. In 1991 Boots bought the company Halfords which sold bicycle, car and camping equipment. Boots later sold Halfords in 2002. The company manufactures its own brand of painkillers, vitamins and other such drugs. Another interesting fact found is that in 2005 Boots was looking into selling sex toys but later abandoned that idea. Would have been interesting popping into your local Boots for some face wash and a vibrator, (*immature giggle*). In general Boots is a convenient store selling many different items stuff from toothpaste to camera films. Some things can be...

Puts the Boot(s) up all the others.

Advantages: See text.
Disadvantages: See text.

...I would just like to write a review on Boots, based on the main store in the Centre of Plymouth's main shopping centre. The Boots store I am reviewing is in Drake Circus, which is a fairly new shopping centre in the middle of Plymouth. Boots has had a long prescence in Plymouth, and there has always been a shop within 100 yards or so of where it actually is now from what I can remember. The original place that housed Boots is known locally, by the affectionate name of 'Boots Corner' - but should you wish to find a place in Plymouth, then I can honestly say that if it is in this area then don't be surprised if you hear Boots Corner being talked about. However, I digress and so back to the subject in hand. Once you walk in to Boots, you can be nothing but amazed at the brightness of the shop. There is nothing but white walls and so...

Boots

Advantages: Reliable name & Advantage Points
Disadvantages: Prices can be dearer than Superdrug

...I sometimes check out product prices when I am in Superdrug or some other chemist and notice that prices can sometimes be a bit cheaper than in Boots. I usually do try and do my shopping in Boots for my toiletries as I find it handy when the points on my advantage card add up. The advantage card enables you to get 1 point for every 25 pence that you spend in the store, and quite often they do double or triple point weekends so the points can fairly add up. I save them up for Christmas time and find them handy for buying extras for my son and two nieces. Which is why I usually try to buy my toiletries in Boots as every little helps!! Boots is a well stocked, tidy, well presented store. It's also quite a bright store with Boots emblazened on the front of the store in blue writing with white background. There are many...
