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...

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...

Review of The Tristan Betrayal - Robert Ludlum

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...

Review of Aftermath - LeVar Burton

Robert Post

Advantages: good tunes and really catchy
Disadvantages: only one really outstanding track

...This is a self-titled album by singer songwriter Robert Post. He comes from a small village in Norway called Langevaag and he got together with two friends, Tor and Alf, and set about to record an album. Tor does the drums and Alf plays bass for Post. Mike Hedges is the producer of the album, who has produced work for many different artists such as the Manic Street Preachers or Travis. This album looks like it could be set to be big in due time. Again, I first heard some of his music through a friend, when he downloaded one of the songs though iTunes. Once I?d heard this song, I wanted to hear more as it was so upbeat and yet seemed to be different to general pop music that you would hear on the radio. I listened to the album with enthusiasm waiting for more wonderfully crafted songs that really make you want to sing along. I...

the burton dominant

Advantages: flexible, mellow edges, good graphics ect
Disadvantages: NONE

...soo the burton dominant .. LOOKS the graphics looks sick (REALLY REALLY GOOD) THE BOARD ITS SELF the board is well suited to all stages of rider (ie experience wise) beginner to expert. the edges are reallly mellow so begginers will not catch edges easily also the more experienced will not catch edges doing rails (which really hurts!!!) the board is also very flexible so if you land wrong doing a trick you have a better chance of staying upright. TYPES OF TERRAIN the board is more suited to park/freestyle riding and also good for powder as it is flexible. you can use it on normal runs but it is not very effective as you slide round corners rather than carve due to the mellow edges! ADVANTAGES i leant on this board and i have turned out ok so thier must be something right on this board. flexible, mellow edges, good...

Shell Fuel Garage - Burton-On-Trent

Advantages: Friendly Staff, Good Range of Fuels
Disadvantages: Jet Wash Doesn't Work, Isnt Very Good

...Shell Fuel Garage - Burton on Trent What is Shell?? They are a large fuel producing company which includes oil, gas, petrol and diesel, this company has many filling stations across the country and also in other countries too. They are well known for producing the 99octane V-Power and also V-Power diesel which is advertised as Ferrari fuel for the roads.

Shell are one of the leading companies in fuel supplying and I definitely trust them to do provide the best fuels for my cars and also to help improve the environment with improving their fuels to be more environmentally friendly. Shell also have a really useful website with lots of information about what they provide and other things they are part of including environment...
