*She sells sea SHELL ATF on the sea shore . . .

Advantages: Very good stuff
Disadvantages: Has to be paid for

...I was advised to use Shell in one particular car. The oil did it's job admirably. It also appeared to meet all the stringent standards etc. Types of containers, - They tend to be plastic nowadays. For a brief history of the company, see their website on http://www.shell.com/home/content/aboutshell-en The company go back as far as 1833.

Review of Shell ATF

* A Word in your Shell - Like! . . .

Advantages: Good price, good quality, for long distance Diesels.
Disadvantages: Not for Turbocharged engines.

...This Shell D40 is part of the Rimula range of oils, this version being suitable for use in larger Diesel engines, mainly commercials, such as buses and trucks. The oil is marketed at applications like this because this is an old fashioned type of oil. It is a High quality monograde oil, not multi-grade, and as such is designed for high load applications, especially in warmer environments. Let me just say that it is not only suitable for the Paris - Dakar run, a high temperature environment can be in the engine room of a boat or ship, a pump house, or anywhere the ambient air is not immediately cooled. It is particularly recommended for use in normally aspirated engines, not turbo charged ones. It also lends itself to use in stationary engines, such as pumps and small generator sets with intermittent operation. This is a good oil...

Chocolate Shells and it's not even Easter!

Advantages: Look nice and work well.
Disadvantages: Smell strongly and be careful if you have dogs.

...cuttings are good but look a bit messy! After a while the bark looked a bit "washed out" so I decided to look for something else. On a trip to the local garden centre I spotted bags of Cocoa Shells and thought they would be worth a try. Chocolate Heaven Each bag was 70l and was not particularly heavy to move. The shells are organic and are a by-product of the chocolate industry. I read the instructions which told me to use 1-2 inches spread amongst my plants and to water well after laying it down. The most important thing to mention here is that dogs MUST be kept away from this stuff for the first few weeks. This is because they contain a chemical that is harmful to dogs if swallowed. I do not have a dog and was only using it on my back garden so I didn't have to worry but I wouldn't use it on my front beds because of the risk to...

Shell Optimax unleaded

Advantages: Higher performance, cleans fuel system as you drive
Disadvantages: None if you dont mind paying a little extra

...In the UK we currently already pay extorniate prices for our petrol so why would i recommend paying even more for what some believe to be nothing more than just advertising hype? Well, i can only speak from my own experiences in regards to Shells Optimax unleaded but for me paying the extra 4p a litre more is a small price for a far superior product. 'What is Shell Optimax?' Shell Optimax is a higher octane fuel available in both diesel and unleaded, standard unleaded petrol has an octane (RON) rating of 95 whereas Optimax is rated at 98 RON, basically what this translates into for you and me is that Optimax burns alot faster, cleaner and also offers a far superior performance to 'most' cars especially noticable when pulling away from lights or round-abouts whilst also offering a better mid-speed accelaration improvement. 'So...

Fun in a shell

Advantages: Great fun
Disadvantages: Hard to move when full

...***SHELL SAND AND WATER TRAY*** Before I review this product I would like to tell you the circumstances it was used for. My parents owned a nursery for children from 3 months up to about eight years however older children did come. Unfortunately we had to move house due to work changes and me and my sister moving schools. During the summer the children loved playing outside and who can blame them with the garden which was half an acre of open land (don't worry it could all be seen so children did not go missing!). Now my father decided to purchase a plastic tub and fill it with sand. He then built a stand for it to be put on which sloped downwards so smaller children could play at one end and taller children at the other without having to bend down or stretch up. We also purchased a large water tub which was about two and half...

In the night garden ninky nonk train set

Advantages: strong, versatile, compact, nice bright colours, fun to play with
Disadvantages: none so far

...I decided to buy the in the night garden ninky nonk train set from Amazon as my young daughter is a big fan of in the night garden and whenever it comes on TV she gets really excited. So as my daughter already had some of the other characters from the show I wanted her to have the whole set and since buying it the train set the ninky nonk train set has become one of her favourite toys to play with on a daily basis. The train set can come apart and be attached on many different ways and my daughter enjoys looking at the nice bright colours and putting some of the other in the night garden characters onto the train set even though it keeps falling of now and again it keeps her busy and sometimes I hear her in fits of giggles. The train set is very cute and versatile and its great as children such as mine can have hours of fun with it...

Shell petrol stations

Advantages: Excellent petrol, good range of services like airpumps/vacuums etc at most stations
Disadvantages: Ethics? Good employers? Pluspoints!!!

...Hmmm... so many people are dubious about buying from shell because of many reasons, however i am uncertain about where i stand in those questions so i'm not going into those, perhaps another day. What i'm reviewing here is the petrol stations, the shops, the service and the quality of petrol. I drove a Mk2 VW Golf (H-reg), which has done just over 100,000 miles (under average) - it ran ok when i bought it a few years ago, but used to not start every time and misfire when idleing. I started going to Shell in Cambridge (Trumpington) because it was near to my workplace and when i drove in (usually in the rain!) it was conveniant to fill up there. I also opened a Pluspoints scheme, which is pretty rubbish - but over time i thought it would bring benifits. The service at the station is average/good, they usually are fairly chatty...

A great set of rollers!

Advantages: shiny, full of volume curls!
Disadvantages: Still time consuming!

...I used these a few weeks ago at my friend's house and I was really impressed! When I go out to a wedding or a big occasion I like to spend some time getting ready and making my hair look nice. I have tried using curling tongs and GHDs to curl my hair but i'm always getting it uneven or burning myself or I get half way throguh and decide i'm fed up!! I went to my friend's house and used her roller set and I was really impressed with them! They heated up very quickly and were really easy to use. The box contains 20 rollers which are ceramic. They are in 3 different sizes which is dfferent to what I've used before as they only had two sizes. There are large, medium and small so you can get the right type of curl for the right part of your hair! They secure into place with the grips really easily which again is a bonus, it can be...

Shell Plus Points - The negative side

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Questionable benefits. Probably better with Sainsburys ot Tesco's loyalty cards

...I used to be a great advocat of the old loyalty card system, particuarly when I benefited financialy from it. However, things have gone somewhat wrong for the Shell Smartpoints system. I have had nothing but problems since their change from the old system of what they termed as "smart points" to what they now laughingly call "Plus points". If you wish to contact the company do not try the email. It simply is not replied to, The other problem that crops up is the syndrome of "It's not really out department, You need to speak to . . ." which is a link to drive you insane after you have gone the same route dozens of times. From the 6th July this year you could no longer use "Smart Points". They implied they would be changed and redeemed for the same "Pluspoints" and to the same value. A question which naturaly raises itself is, "If nothing...

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. This is probably because Shell sponsors Ferrari so they often help give Ferrari advertising. 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...
