Very Best of British steam

Advantages: Fantasitc footage of the last days of steam
Disadvantages: None

...This is another in the eminently professionally produced DVD programmes on steam train released through Green Umbrella. With the Very Best of British Steam of Yesteryear, you are given a real feast for the eyes and also, for the memory, of course. Well, for those of us old enough to remember when steam trains regularly plied their business up and down the main lines of the United Kingdom. The last regular steam runs in Britain came to a very sad halt in August 1968. That's slightly under a year before the first manned space flight to the moon, for those interested in transport trivia. Without an unsung bunch of dedicated enthusiasts and professional and semi-professional film makers in the previous two decades, these wonderful steam trains would not be available to the general public. They would only exist as the personal...

Review of The Very Best Of British Steam Of Yesteryear (DVD)

Best of British

Advantages: Funny, loving, real characters
Disadvantages: Drama Queens

...British shorthairs (BSH) are really just posh moggies!! They have a short dense coat wich is easily maintained. I grrom mine weekly just to keep them looking there best and they love it. One bit of advise on this though, start them young, as soon as you get your kitten home make this part of their routine and you will find they will get used to it very quickly and this saves a lot of problems when they get bigger and more strong willed. If you dont keep on top of grooming them they will often form mats during their biannual moult. They have excellent natures but they dont suffer fools. They wil soon let you know if they have had enough. They are often not lap cats but still like to sit beside you and grace you with their presence when they feel like it. BSH's come in just about every colour you can imagine, I have a Black...

Review of British Shorthair

Best of British

Advantages: Big plane
Disadvantages: cramped conditions

...". It then goes on to say that anyone displaying air rage will be dealt with by fully trained staff. "The protection of all who travel on British Airways flights is our priority". This is good to know. The time actually passed very quickly. As long as the Mack has her food and tv in front of her, she's fairly happy! There is a video shown at the beginning of the flight about how to stay healthy on board, with some leg exercises to do to prevent DVT. If you can do them with the hand luggage at your feet, then you fared better than me. The best thing to do is have a stretch when you're in the toilet as that's just about the only place you can go where you're in nobody's way! I think British Airways is a fine way to travel. Plus it's part of the Frequent Flyer group so you can grab some points towards another trip. Go for it!...

Review of British Airways - BAW

Best of British

Advantages: Good value, they fly everywhere, friendly
Disadvantages: None

...slightly though unfortunately that feature was useless to me as I had the big, fat and obese man behind me. All British Airways flights are non-smoking, though what always makes me laugh is how the captain says “May I remind you this is a non-smoking flight… Cabin Crew will be round shortly with duty free cigarettes.” Their food is very good for airline food and instead of attempting a grotty cooked meal on short-haul flights they give you a baguette with a nice filling. Whereas some other airlines attempt a cooked meal which consists of 3 or 4 microwaved chips and some fish that looks like its been sat on. Overall I think British Airways are excellent and they are probably the best European airline. Though I have only used Air France, BA and Swissair. I don’t see why people dislike them, true they do have...

Review of British Airways - BAW

Best of British

Advantages: Huge range of artefacts from all periods, free
Disadvantages: Crowded

...Whilst down south staying with my parents, my Dad and I decided to visit the British Museum – despite having visited numerous museums throughout Britain, strangely enough this was one place I had never been to. Opened to the public in 1759, today the British Museum has an attendance of over 5 million visitors a year. Getting there was easy – the British museum is located in Bloomsbury, in Great Russell Street to be precise, and the nearest tube station is Tottenham Court Road, which can be accessed from both the central and the northern line. It’s then only a couple of minutes walk to the main entrance of the museum, and it is well signposted, so even if you’re hopeless when it comes to navigation, you can’t get too lost! Entrance is free, which is really useful, especially if you have only a short...

Review of Top Ten Best British Films

Best of British!

Advantages: Great story, excellent acting and cast, good music
Disadvantages: None from me or hubby

...just heard it too much now. The DVD which we have does not have any bonus material but this is no great loss to me as I am not really a fan of it. The running time of the film is 1 hour and 34 minutes which I found to be a great length as it kept me interest from start to finish where as if they would have tried to make it longer I think I would have started to have got bored. The certificate on this film is 18 and I do agree with this as there is lots of strong bad language and loads of sex references. I am definitely going to recommend this film as it is both funny and has a great story and is packed full of excellent British actors....

Review of Love, Honour And Obey (DVD)

The Best of British

Advantages: Tastes good and easy to prepare
Disadvantages: Not for dieters or veggies

...**** Price **** I have to admit I was attracted to this ready meal by the half price offer of £1.24, the normal price being £2.49. As it is a Tesco own brand, it is not possible to get it elsewhere so, if you want a reduction, you will have to wait for a special offer, search the last sell by date section or plead with Tesco?s staff. If you do find yourself coughing up the full price, I wouldn?t feel too bad because, as I will explain, as ready meals go this is a good buy. *** Packaging **** On the outer wrapping you will clearly see that it is part of Tesco?s British Regional range with an appetizing picture of the meal. If you are worried about your diet, basic details of calories, sugar, fat and salt are shown: · Calories: 625kcal, 31% of your GDA (guideline daily amount) · Sugar: 4.6g, 5% of your GDA · Fat: 40...

Best of British Struggling to Survive

Advantages: Quality, Service, Comfort
Disadvantages: Relish

...Poor old British Airways, no longer enjoying the position of Brits first choice for air travel. It all seems to have gone downhill for them since Thatcher tried to cover their modern art tail design with a hanky she produced from her gigantic bag. I don't know why she didn't just concentrate and melt it with her demonic powers. Anyway things have been going considerably worse since the twin towers toppled and BA have announced their decision to ground 10% of their planes and sack 7,000 staff. The recent terrorist attack had an obvious effect on their business, several days of no cross Atlantic flights followed by weeks of reduced custom as people readjust to the tightened security. Not to mention the devastating effect of irresponsible media hysteria discouraging people from flying. However on top of this they have had severe...
