So many uses

Advantages: use on a variety of materials, easy to use,cheap
Disadvantages: none

...This is a multi purpose liquid that is used to repell water from brick,stone,wood and concrete. Being clear it can be safely applied to any base without staining, although does sometimes leave the base slightly darker. I've used it on areas of brickwork that are exposed to driving rain, tops of fenceposts, worn roof tiles, insides of terracotta tubs and patio slabs. This liquid is not a replacement for remedial building work that needs to be done, it will not fix damage that has already been done. It is a very usefull safeguard to take where weathering is likely on all building materials....

Vista Print the rewards to watch out for

Advantages: None - just not a transparent business
Disadvantages: Loads like it wil cost you lots

...Beware this company operate a questionable operation where once they capture your credit/debit card details they apply a continuous payment mandate (CPMs') - which you cannot stop , this takes money from you account for VPrewards from £9.95 to £11.95 monthly. They give you some small print note about this and opt you in before you know it . Do not trade with this company unless you can obtain safeguards. The cards themselves were ok and quickly sent but also have the website you the back so you end up promoting them ! I set this up on a dormant account and was shocekd to find that for 2 years they have taken money out ! They are not UK based so it is difficutlt to get money back from them. But you should check your account and contact your bank /creidt card supplier . CPMs should be avoided at all costs other companies use...

A true work of Sorcery

Advantages: fantastic quality of writing
Disadvantages: none!!

...Polgara, Daughter of Belgarath. Sorceress, dutchess, Beauty and downright furious. To explain, let me introduce the story - just the beginning. Belgarath, Polgara's father, was forced, more or less, to write, basically, a history of the world. Or, in other words, his lifes story. And, to quote Polgara, he's "an expert in starting a job and getting somebody else to finish it for him!". Belgarath has left his story full of holes - and questions about what Polgara was doing from time to time, which basically forces Ce'Nedra to come and demand the rest of the story. So, from before her birth, through her early years, the marriage of her sister and subsequent death, falling in love and fighting thruogh wars, losing her lover, and puberty, and through it all, safeguarding the line of Riva. Polgara's story is often heartwrenching - I don...

froths the milk but could be improved on

Advantages: aerates semi skim or skim milk, fun initially,
Disadvantages: expensive on the batteries

...After trying cappucino of the instant variety, I wanted the real thing to compare it to, and decided to buy myself a frother. The Salter CRXR frother comes in a very sturdy white background box, with colour pictures of the machine and scrummy cappucino and milk shake on the front, pics and blurb on sides, and on the back just 5 points written out in various languages. Opening the box you find the machine securely seated inside because of the cardboard protection about it, alongside is the user guide in 8 languages. It is clearly and well written, starts with safeguards and precautions, battery installation, usage instructions and cleaning with the gaurantee at the end of the sheet, How did it fare? I found it difficult to put the battery cover back in place, and started to get quite annoyed, had to give it up and try...

Flashing your way round Europe

Advantages: Well-drawn character, solid research, good fun
Disadvantages: Flashman's violence may deter some

...had me demanding angrily why I'd never bothered to read Hope's Prisoner of Zenda. A book which combines 19th Century political theory with storming castles by moonlight, with a 'hero' more concerned with nicking the crown jewels than with safeguarding European security? Fantastic! It's particularly good fun, in my view, because of the way the novel opens with a lot of real characters and events and really grounds the reader in the period, before gradually dissolving into more and more of a fantasy adventure as the second half of the tale unfolds. Of course, more delicate readers than I may be alienated or repulsed later on by Flashman's torture and cold-blooded murder of a would-be assassin, but to me it was a brave move on the writer's part to show an anti-hero being as anti as possible. Flashman is occasionally forced to act in...

Woolwich Buy to Let schemes

Advantages: Portable mortgage with excellent customer service
Disadvantages: APR not the most competitive

...I'd like to pass on my positive comments to all with regards to the Woolwich Buy to Let mortgage scheme. Whilst most buy to let lenders just want to look at multiples of income:expenditure ratios and base the lending decision simply on maths, the Woolwich will actually work with you to safeguard your interests (and ultimately theirs!) in a logical step by step approach. I have found that they also provide the best customer service and their staff are very knowledgable about the product range. There are a number of schemes available, fixed, capped and discounted tracker and each option can be discussed in depth at time of application. Lending muliples can also be flexed by varying the rates by those under different schemes. The ultimate bonus is that the mortgage is portable - spmething that a lot of lenders do not offer...
