Advantages: Its close to the M6 and the Station so you can get away QUICK
Disadvantages: Blimey to many

...I have lived in stafford for 12 years, and some people I have met have said they quite liked it hear. Stafford is "pleasantville" and its sucks the life out from you. If you want population figures, and basic data i suggest you google stafford , its all there . This is really a review of what it feels like to live here Going out : Stafford has 1 little cinema which shows the usual blockbusters and thats it, it has NO real live music venue , yes there are loads of pubs that have Nearvana , or the Bone roses , or best yet the Jones ( the smiths tribute band) but no real venue. The Local youth seem to spend there time trying mug people or hanging around outside Mcdonalds. There is a tiny park in the town which caters fo the over 60s, but NO skate park in the town, and really not a great deal for the young or infact the 20-50 age... Read review

Advantages: Nice rooms, friendly service, good food
Disadvantages: Location might be noisy at the weekend

...INTRODUCTION Back in the UK again, I had some training courses to attend and so several of us from work got together to go on one in Staffordshire. Having found this hotel on the net, we all booked into it with eager anticipation of a night out before the course the next day. It wasn't to disappoint; amid all the banter, eating and drinking, I managed to keep my head and so present to you my experience of the hotel. LOCATION This is slap bang in the middle of Stafford town centre and so very handily located. It's only a five or ten minute walk from the train station. I ponced a lift and it wasn't hard to find once we got into the town centre and followed the directions. There are small signs pointing to the hotel which you follow, all the way round a winding road and finally into the hotel car park. THE ROOM... Read review

Advantages: Close to town centre,20 mins from alton towers
Disadvantages: None

...to choose from,and with alton towers being a mere 20 minute drive away it was perfect. It was called the north stafford hotel and it was situated opposite stoke on trent train station,which I imaging would be ideal for those arriving buy train. The hotel boasts 88 bedrooms and is one of many britannia hotels On arriving we parked our car in the car park outside the hotel were there was plenty of spaces to choose from,but my hubby was fretful of leaving his baby there all night but his mind was soon put at ease when we were told there was 24 hour cctv on the car park. Entering the hotel I was quite taken aback by how grand this hotel looked,it was very clean and the staff seemed pleasant. After checking in swiftly, we were given the option of a smoking/non smoking room,and told what times breakfast was served from in the morning... Read review

Advantages: Nice smell and shine
Disadvantages: It doesn't work...

...After recently buying some new straighteners, which went up to the terrifying heat of 190°C, I thought it would be a good idea to purchase some kind of protection spray for my hair. I wanted to try and minimise the damage done to my hair by the straighteners, as no matter what the manufacturers say, there’s no possible way that using ceramics is actually good for your hair. Browsing in Boots, I decided upon the Lee Stafford Poker Straight Flat Iron Protection Shine Mist for £4.99. This decision was based upon it being a nice smelling product and the only other one that was anything like what I wanted was a Charles Worthington product, and I hate Charles Worthington products. *** The Packaging *** For me, I really couldn’t give two hoots about what something looks like. Half the time my stuff is being carted from my house... Read review

Advantages: wonderful smell, protects against UV heat and hair straighteners, reasonable price
Disadvantages: bottle could be a bit bigger

...SO is there really much you can write about a heat protection spray? Answer - no. I will, however, endeavor to do so. Right first of all, the Lee Stafford Poker Straight Flat Iron Protection Spray (to give its full name) is actually very very good. It's probably the fourth brand i've tried and it's definitely one i'll stick with! Visually appealing in a sleak, not too big, pink coloured bottle it's packaged really well. Definately eye-catching amongst all the hair products. It has a really nice, quite light fragrence which is sure to cover up other unappealing smells. Before the smoking ban, the morning after the night before would always be dominated by the disgusting smokey smell, but a few sprays of this product and that would disapear. Great for those 'I cannot be bothered to wash my hair' days! It's hard to say how well... Read review

Advantages: Actually works! Smells fab, leaves your hair feeling wonderfully refreshed and ready for the day!
Disadvantages: A little pricey, but worth the money in my opinion.

...3 words: this actually works! Ok, so to be fair, it is a little pricey, but it does last for a long time! smells great, gets rid of any oils of grease in the roots of your hair and doesn't leave little white specks in your hair either like some do. But if you don't want to buy the full size one, Lee Stafford now do miniature versions of most of their products in a lot of high street stores, so go for a small one! It's perfect for travelling too! I've used it on holiday before when I didnt have time to wash my hair properly every day, so it's perfect to use when you're having one of those 'in-between' hair days! Basically, this is the best dry shampoo by far that I've ever used and I would definately recommend it to all. Well worth the extra pennys.... Read review

Advantages: Easy to use, light, great for both curly and straight hair
Disadvantages: Bit expensive, doesn't last overly long on straight hair

...I heard about this product whilst searching for an alternative to the discontinued John Frieda Beach Blonde Ocean Waves. A statement on the John Frieda website said that they had brought out a new product to replace it (why they couldn't just start manufacturing it again is beyond me!), which was a spray wax. Having searched around on the Boots website, I've found that this isn't available in the UK, but a search for spray wax turned up the Lee Stafford product. I have to admit that I've always been tempted to try his products (mainly due to the funky packaging, shallow I know) but as they are quite pricey, couldn't justify when I could get similar products cheaper. However, as this was the only spray wax I could find, I thought I'd give it a try. I bought it from the Boots, for £4.49 which I think is the average retail price... Read review

...cause some irreparable damage if used too often. As ive said already, ive tried hundreds of lotions, potions and I came across the Lee Stafford range in Cosmopolitan magazine about two months ago, and I decided to go on the search to find it. ** What is the Lee Stafford Range ** To be honest I had never heard of Lee Stafford or his range of products until I saw them advertised, so when I came across the whole range in Boots I was quite pleased, especially as his range is not too highly priced. Within the Lee Stafford range there is shampoo and conditioners for all types of hair. Then there is the styling range which again features products for those who want volume, those who don’t want volume, those who like messy hair, those who want straight hair, those who want shiney hair and finally the one I was looking for ‘...

Disadvantages: None Yet!

...settled down from their immediate outbursts of shock she explained that she had shampooed her hair, she just hadn't "washed it". I must admit that claiming she hadn't washed her hair was a bit of a misconception, but to be fair she certainly hadn't had to go through the hassle of blow drying it! So moving forward with this review, I intend to explain and review the style of product which she subsequently recommended to us all. You may have read some of my other reviews and seen that I am quite the fan (this is a likely understatement) of the Lee Stafford range from Boots and the Lee Stafford website, www.leestafford.com (and Lee Stafford salons, but these are pretty scarce) and it is not a coincidence that this is another product from this range. The girl who we were talking to is a fan of all things designer, and she is not exactly... Read review

Advantages: smooth, stright hair
Disadvantages: none

...I never heard or seen this product until one day I went to my friends toilet and I spotted this brightly coloured bottle on the bathroom cabinet, me being nosey picked up the bottle to look closer I sprayed the bottle into the air, and I were greeted by this wonderful mist and this sweet scent, I were amazed our good it smelt. I went downstairs and asked my friend were she had got it from as she told me boots as this product is exclusive to them. So the next day I went to boots to get my Lee Stafford when I got there it were 3 4 2, so I brought the shampoo conditioner and the spray mist all out of the Lee Stafford Range. <~> Who is Lee Stafford <~> Lee were born in 1966 in Essex England, when he had grown up he has opened three very successful hair saloons, and throughout his career as won a series of awards including best...
