Review of Sainsbury's Double Strength Squash

A Squash And A Squeeze

Advantages: wonderful to read aloud
Disadvantages: none

...We received our copy of ?A Squash and a Squeeze? as a birthday present for one of my little ones and it has been read over and over again. The story is written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler. This pair are also responsible for several over wonderful books, such as ?The Gruffalo? and ?Room On The Broom?. ?A Squash and a Squeeze? was their first collaboration. ?A Squash And A Squeeze? is the story of a little old lady who is fed up of having so little space in her house. She calls upon a wise old man to help her and he comes up with a very curious plan, involving a group of rather naughty farmyard animals, which throws her house into complete chaos but ends up leaving the old lady much happier! The story is told in rhyme, which makes it a delight both to read aloud and to listen to. My children love joining in as...

Squash Those Apples!

Advantages: asy to use, store and drink!
Disadvantages: None in my opinion

...Review of Sainsbury's Double Strength Squash The Product This is a fruit squash, a drink designed to be diluted in water from the own label range of Sainsburys supermarket. The squash is made with sweetener, Sucralose, and it contains only natural colours & flavours. This squash is available in several flavours, Apple, lemon and pineapple, apple and blackcurrant, orange and mango, orange, blackcurrant and summer fruits. My review will be based on the Apple squash. The squash comes in two sizes, 750ml (87p)and 1.5lt (£1.43) I have to say that I don't usually buy fruit squashes or other soft drinks as I only usually drink coffee or water. However, over the last few weeks I have been caring for my mother as she recovers from a major illness, part of her recovery has been centred around keeping her drinking, as dehydration is...

Review of Sainsbury's Double Strength Squash

Squash!!

Advantages: keeps you fit, social, strategic
Disadvantages: knee strain

...Squash is a very tactical game involving two players (or four for doubles) in a four wall hall holding raquets, the aim is to hit the rubber ball against the opposite wall, in between the two lines repeatedly, scoring points. The court is marked with two serving boxes. Which ball used in the game defers the speed and bounce of the ball, as they are colour coded. this varies the game difficulty and experience level. Squash is a very demanding game in which you have to be physically fit for, but at the same time it is very strategic and social. I tend to play squash as it socialises me with people and keeps you very fit in a fun way. I also like tennis but i believe squash pushes me to the next level as it is more challenging and a worlwide sport. The only bad points is the strain caused on the knees for old or younger players, but...

Review of Squash - General

what a squash!

Advantages: lovely rhyming text
Disadvantages: none

...A squash and a squeeze We bought this the other day because we both enjoy Julia Donaldson books, and this did not disappoint; I always worry that having thoroughly enjoyed some books by a specific author, then if a new book isn't as good, I will be disappointed. This did not disappoint us in any way. As with most Julia Donaldson books, the story is totally in rhyme, which makes it easy for children to join in and because they can do this, they grow in confidence and their enjoyment of stories increases. **THE STORY** The story starts with a lady who complains to the wise man that her house is too small, although she lives all by herself "with a table and chairs and a jug on the shelf". She asks the wise old man to help her, and he suggests that she takes in the hen, so this she does with the predicted outcome; the hen...

Review of A Squash and a Squeeze - Julia Donaldson

Squash your opponent!

Advantages: Improves your stamina, tones your body, stretches muscles and provides fun and exhilaration
Disadvantages: Court prices are quite high.

...Our family sport is Squash - my father, mother, and older brother and sister all play to a high standard. At the age of 11, my parents thought it was time to coach and train me at our local sports centre. 14 years on, I have gone from strength to strength, and I find squash to be one of the most physically demanding activities a person can do. What is squash? Squash is an indoor racquet game played by two opposing players in a four walled squash court. The premise is to hit the ball at the front wall so that when it bounces off, your opponent cannot return the shot. Every time your opponent cannot return that shot, you either win a point (if you served) or you win the serve (if your opponent served the last shot). In the UK, you play to 9 points, unless you are 8-8 with your opponent, and then your opponent has the option...

Anyone for Squash?

Advantages: energetic, great for burning calories, a game which can be played by families or couples
Disadvantages: some injuries can't be avoided but no pain, no gain!

...I love squash as a game. Its on of the few sports you can have a decent workout on your own. Just book yourself a court and hammer the ball against a wall. Gets rid of the stress, burns the calories (about 750 clas per 45 minute session), increases the heart rate and just makes you feel knackered and destressed. I started playing squash about 25 years ago and loved it. I've played on and off now for all that time. Currently I play two or three times per week for an hour each time with my wife. We deliberately choose not to play other people at the club and from what we see, there are several other couples play solely together. Now when my wife started playing about 5 years ago, she had never played the game before. While you may think that playing the same person over and over again become boring and repetitive, you couldn't be...

Squashed

Advantages: Nice, realistic Blackcurrant Taste
Disadvantages: Price

...I don’t know if I am getting old but it seems that of late whenever I get thirsty I don’t really fancy carbonated drinks. I don’t like tea and coffee so they’re off the menu whilst I find pure fruit juices to be a bit too rich. So, I have been forced to drink cordial drinks in such quantities as haven’t felt appropriate since the years before my sixth birthday. One such drink, which I have been trying, is Tesco Apple and Blackcurrant Squash and here are my thoughts. Where? I found the product in the unchilled fruit juice section of my local Tescos (who’d have thought it!) I have since noticed it in another couple of stores though so I think that it is widely available within the chain. It set me back a whopping 65p for 1 litre which although inexpensive when compared to the brand leader Robinson...

Review of Tesco Apple & Blackcurrant Squash

enjoyable squash

Advantages: double the strength save money
Disadvantages: none

...Think its about time i did a review on something other than toys or pushchairs so go easy on me as this is my first review on something like this thanks. I'm going to do my next review on ASDA double strength apple and blackcurrant squash. we go to asda weekly and i would say i have to buy this flavour squash every two weeks and its my children's and my husbands favourite. The bottle is clear so you can see the purpley red colour liquid inside it has a light blue screw on lid with a light blue label and on this label you will find everything you need to know. Front of label thereis a big what looks like a tear drop telling you what the product is and that its double the strength with no added sugar and the flavour the tear drop is different colours one green and this is a apple and then there...

Head LM 120 Squash racket

Advantages: Light but tough
Disadvantages: poor factory grip

...I bought this squash racket as a amateur after my last racket broke the strings and I thought it better to buy a good racket rather than replace the strings. The price was fantastic as a i bought it in Lilywhites with 70% off, but if buying full price i would say it is a bit pricey. However the performance of the racket if top draw. I've had it for a few years now and still it is serving me very well. The durability of this racket is one of the hidden qualities i have found. With me not being a brilliant squash player, I've had my fair share of wall hits, but the protective plastic on the frame is still protecting and it has not even chipped or scratched. The racket also looks very good and I've been asked many a time if i could lend my racket for people to have a go. it hits well and suits a hard hitting game but can equally handle...
