Enjoy the outdoors in comfort and style.

Advantages: Everything you need under one roof
Disadvantages: None

...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. Monday 10am - 7pm Tuesday 10am - 7pm Wednesday 10am - 7pm Thursday 10am - 8pm Friday 10am - 7pm Saturday 9am - 6pm Sunday 10am-5pm These are great opening hours especially if you work full time. 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...

* 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...

getting fresh outdoors

Advantages: soft clothes after wash
Disadvantages: ?

...I have just put the washing on early this morning so it can be hung in the garden and get dry and have that fresh outdoors smell. I also have put some fabric conditioner into the dispenser in the washing machine. Today I have used Tesco’s concentrated outdoors fresh. The bottle I bought a while ago has 33%% extra free. normally contains 750ml the added free makes this bottle 1 litre. just checked tesco online it costs 72 p for the bottle of conditioner This conditioner comes in a tall square bottle with a green label showing a picture of a butterfly green for fresh butterfly to represent outside I guess. Anyway square straight edged products are good take up less space in the cupboard rather than round ones. Although I am not loyal to this brand of conditioner I do frequently buy it. Right let me take you...

Outdoor Heating For The Summer Evenings

Advantages: Great outdoor heating for the summer evenings
Disadvantages: None

...Outdoor Gas Table Heater Model 9201392 Price £69.99 from Focus DIY Store, March 2002 Contact detail: Focus, Gawsworth House, Westmere Drive, Crewe, Cheshire, CW1 6XB. If you enjoy sitting out in the garden on a summer’s night then this small gas table heater is just the ticket. You may have seen other gas powered garden heaters on TV or in your local DIY store. This one is exactly the same, only a miniature version. The heater is designed to be situated on top of your garden table. It stands at 78cm high approximately. It’s diameter at the top is 45cm approximately, and at it’s base it is only 30cm in diameter, so it doesn’t take up much table space. It gives off 6kW of heat when running at full power, so it is ample for heating an area of an average size garden table. The hood of the heater...

Cheap cadence computer

Advantages: Has a cadence sensor, good for turbo training
Disadvantages: Wired, small screen, not waterproof, useless for outdoor use

.... At £22.99 The Incite is a cheap and cheerful computer with a whole range of features that is found on more expensive computers. The overall quality is not that good but providing you treat it with care, and use it in-doors, it shouldn?t give too many problems. The Incite is one of the few computers that use the rear wheel to measure the speed and cadence, hence it is perfect for turbo trainers and it is for this reason I would recommend the Incite if you are only going to use it for turbo training, purely because of the cadence feature allowing you to devise spinning classes at home. If you are looking for a computer for outdoor use then there is no way I would recommend the Incite, for the reasons stated above, and I would suggest spending a bit more on something more rugged and up to the job....

Yeomans Outdoors - the best outdoor retailer

Advantages: great range, superb staff with lots of product knowledge
Disadvantages: none

...One of the most irritating things about going into shops these days is the fact that, with the coming of YTS, New Deal, and a host of other employment-figures-massaging techniques, our retailers have resorted to employing trained chimps to serve us. It is increasingly difficult to find anyone who knows anything about the products they are selling us. Not so at Yeomans Outdoors! In the Lancaster branch where I go, all the staff are friendly, polite, and most importantly KNOW LOADS ABOUT the outdoors gear they sell. Their staff training programme must be superb - although I think a lot of it is down to the fact that they only employ people who are actively interested in walking, hiking, climbing, etc. Their product knowledge is excellent, of both their own stock and items which they don't sell (and they will order you ANYTHING...

Mesh Computer Nightmare

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Appalling Customer Service

...This is an honest account of my experience of Mesh Computers Ltd. On the 2nd December 2008 I placed an order on-line for an Xtreme Pro I7-920. The desktop computer arrived on the 30/12/2008 by DHL courier service. The box was in good condition and I signed for the goods. When the box was opened and the desktop computer inspected I soon discovered that it was not of a satisfactory quality. The system box was bent and not assembled correctly. The media reader was also bent and not installed properly. The black tower case was covered in a white compound or paint marks. The side panels had been able to move during transit due to the poor build quality. This allowed the screws to fall out that held it together and the manufacturers warranty seal had torn. I went to the trouble of setting up the computer even though my instinct was to...

The Nation's Favourite Computer Shop

Advantages: Store layout, Convenience, Range of products, Lower Web prices for Collect @ Store
Disadvantages: Price of accessories and some items, Queues, Selection of certain items

...PC WORLD STORES PC world are the retail arm of DSG International group. They specialise in computing items but also sell, TVs, digital cameras, stationary and even office furniture. PC World stores are dotted around the country with stores often located in retail parks so many of them are as big as supermarkets. I have most frequently visited the stores in Croydon, Catford, Charlton and Old Kent Road, with Croydon and Catford being the most frequent. They usually have their own car parks (depending on location) and there?s usually a fair number of spaces which is good, as I hate having to look for parking spaces. Stores seem to consistently have the following sections: - Components - PC - Laptop - Software - Stationary - Digital Photography - Home entertainment - Printers - Networking The above sections are usually the big...

ASUS EEE PC 701 - Small but perfectly formed

Advantages: Size, Ease of Use
Disadvantages: Small keyboard, small screen

...This review looks at one of many netbooks to be released in the UK over the past few months, ASUS's EEE PC 701 SD. The model I have is fitted with Windows XP and has an 8Gb hard drive. I bought it on special offer for £155. Appearance The 701SD is absolutely tiny. It weighs around a kilogram and is roughly the same size as a hardback reading book when in the closed position. It comes in a neat box along with instructions,a mains charger, a protective case and a system CD. It has a 7 inch screen which is absolutely tiny but is still perfectly functional. The unit has three USB sockets, headphone and microphone jacks, and SD memory card slot, a small webcam above the screen and a microphone positioned just underneath the keyboard. It has a small touchpad which is small but works in exactly yhte same way as a normal sized laptop...
