BURTONS

Advantages: Large range of cheap smart clothes
Disadvantages: none

...Burtons is just the sort of place I always seem to end up in when I go shopping. Its not that I really buy that much stuff there (I'm a bit scruffy most of the time), but just being there is something you have to do. The shop has a very classy image when compared to others in the high street. They sell some real quality clothes at some very reasonable prices. If I was to be buying anything at all smart, I'd always head straight for Burtons. I bought a suit there this year, and the staff were very helpful. After just a second of looking through their stock, a woman approached me to see if she could help. I obviously did need a bit of help because I hadn't needed a nice suit before. She took all the necessary measurements and I was actually out of the shop again fairly quickly. I also bought some shirts, ties and a pair...

Review of Burton (Shop)

Burton - Fantastic!

Advantages: Stores bright & good layout, friendly staff, wide choice
Disadvantages: Sometimes it's worth waiting for the sales!

...::::INTRODUCTION:::: Burton is part of the Arcadia Retail group, which has many fashion retailers such as TopMan and the rest are women's like TopShop, Dorethy Perkins, Wallis, Evans and Miss Selfridge. The first store was opened in 1903 by Montague Burton, after borrowing £100 from a relitave to open the cross-tailoring company in Chesterfield. His aim was "Good clothes for a mans self-respect". This continues today with modern and stylish clothing with usually a dedicated suit area in the store and a good selection of footwear and accessories. ::::HISTORY:::: At the start of World War 1 Burton changed to start producing Armed Forces uniforms' instead of suits. These unfiroms made by Burton clothed nearly a quarter of all service men and women during The Great War. Mr Burton recieved a Knight-hood in 1931 for his efforts in...

Burtons Clothes Store

Advantages: Good selections
Disadvantages: Not well laid out in shop

...Since fashion became something to be more conscious about for me, (few years ago) I thought it would be a good idea to make sure I knew what the different Men’s stores around my local area were like. Burtons is quite an established store, for men only, (although my mum does go in when she's looking for my Christmas presents etc) and does offer quite a good range in the latest fashions. It has a good selection of Jeans, both its own brand, and other brands like Wrangler. The casual wear continues with T-shirts and jumpers, all quite suitable for the young men of today to wear out on the streets. Burtons also has a good selection of clothes for going out in. The selection of shirts is good, quite a wide range from the near-Hawaiian shirts for the summer, to the long sleeved cotton shirts. The smart trousers aren't of the best...

FREE DVDs

Advantages: Free trial, large choice, post included,new realeases
Disadvantages: see review

...I like movies and I like freebies, so when you get offered both in one swoop you?re bound to accept! I used my two week free trial with this company and remained with them for a couple of monthsbefore moving on to try many other companies free trials (and winning a new DVD player on Tesco DVD rental site on their free trial offer). I then had an email from DVDs 365 asking me to go back, and offering me a free DVD if I did so. I had just left Tesco (with my new DVD player) so I chose to go back with them. ∆◊◊ THE SERVICE THEY OFFER ∆◊◊ Basically it?s like going to a video shop and hiring films on DVD, except you don?t pay for each film you chose ? rather a monthly fee for which you can watch as many movies as you can fit in, for us this is usually around 8 a month (2 a week usually weekends...

Go for a Burton

Advantages: Good Range, Good Quality, Good Prices
Disadvantages: None

...A great shop for men. Great value, great quality, good range, friendly staff. That just about sums up my opinion of the Burtons Mensware shops in the UK. Now I've got to try and pad this thing out to make 90 words. Joking aside I have honestly given my opinion in the first sentence, but what leads me to this conclusion? I have shopped at Burtons both man and boy and have always been very pleased with their products. On the rare ocassion I have had to return anything the staff have bent over backwards to help and replaced or refunded without question. I have always found what I have been looking for and paid a reasonable price. Sale time is always good too and there are some excellent bargains to be found. I have also used their hire facility to hire out dinner suits and found this service to also be excellent in both cost...

Surprising Picture Quality - Panasonic DVD-S54

Advantages: Incredible picture quality when compared to my old non-upscaling player with a scart lead
Disadvantages: Sometimes disc drive can be really noisy when DVD's initially load.

...At first I wasn't convinced by up-scaling DVD player technology but was persuaded after reading an article in "What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision" magazine. Unable to afford a Blu-Ray player my sister and I bought the Panasonic DVD-S54 to match our parents brand new Panasonic TX-32LZD80 LCD television as their Christmas 2008 present. Admittedly it was a slightly selfish purchase as we both live at home and wanted to watch DVDs on the big new TV ourselves! We bought the player from the electrical retailer Comet for about £100 just before Christmas so there were no discounts applied. On Christmas day when opened we found a relatively small box tightly packed with the player in polystyrene packaging. All the components such as cables, remote and manuals were well presented in their own protective plastic bags, to keep them protected. The player...

richard

Advantages: great read
Disadvantages: hard to understand if you are new to old english

...I have just read this in English for my literature coursework on shakespeare. Heres the beginning of my coursework. This will explain a lot to you. William Shakespeare wrote the play Richard III in 1591. Commonly known as a history play, although it can be thought of as belonging under each category of plays Shakespeare wrote: History, Problem, Tragedy and comedy. Historical as the main plot of the play is true, however some facts may be untrue as to fit the Tudor myth. Problem play, because Richard kill's everyone in his way, death and destruction linger in his path.Tragedy play, as Richard who the audience have secretly come to admire dies, and so do other characters such as the young princes. Comedy play as the play ends with a wedding which in these times was thought of as a comedy as there is happiness. The Tudors also saved...

Morphy Richards Impressed me

Advantages: An economical iron from Morphy Rchards
Disadvantages: None

...Morphy Richards are well known and trustworthy manufacturers of electrical appliances and produce a wide choice of products. With Christmas fast approaching the company have many novel and inexpensive gift ideas displayed on their website. Of course all of the prices have been adjusted to reflect the recent reduction in VAT. So many times I have bought an electrical appliance only to find a few months down the line that I need to find spare parts or accessories and often this can be frustrating. But I have noticed that Morphy Richards have a search facility on their website for this and if you cannot find the part that you are searching for then you can contact their Customer Care Team via the website. Replacing my iron has been on my `To Do` list for some months now and I have only recently got around to doing it. Years...

A great Morphy Richards Product

Advantages: Delicious bread without such a gaping hole in the bottom
Disadvantages: Ingredients bucket a bit stiff to manouver

...I have had my original Morphy Richards breadmaker for two years and it was still in good working order but when I saw a new model in Robert Dyas, I had to go and investigate. The new model on display was boasting a drop down paddle which meant no more gaping holes in your bread after you have removed it from the tin. That has to be a plus! The fact that the price had been reduced from £70 to just under £50 swayed my decision. My current which model could be passed onto a grateful family member. As I unpacked this very good looking silver machine, I found an instruction book, guarantee card (for two years) and the measuring cup and spoons. The instruction book is very clear and is full of interesting recipes which include cake and jam. There are a list of baking cycle times and you can make a fast loaf in 1 hour should you wish...

Don't Go For a Burton

Advantages: A decent enough idea
Disadvantages: Not well written

...It's not a rare thing for famous people from other professions to try their hand at writing; autobiographies abound from even the youngest of celebrities these days, it seems. What is slightly rarer is for them to produce works of fiction; Pamela Anderson and Katie Price have both tried this recently, although it is suspected that their works of "fiction" were based on their own lives. Madonna turned her hand to children's books, with some success. Many years before this, however, LeVar Burton turned his hand to science fiction. As the man who played Lt Geordi LaForge on "Star Trek: The Next Generation", this isn't perhaps as great a leap as it could have been. However, he has not just taken the idea of the show that made his name, but instead gone off in a new direction. In the fairly near future, the United States has...
