The Best & Worse Places In The UK

Advantages: I wrote it!
Disadvantages: No biscuits ;o(

...go for the interview area. The third piece of writing on the list was in English. I left 3 hours later and it was dark. I was again followed to my Docklands Light Railway connection. This time one actually tried to pick my pocket. But a cry from me of "Get your f**king hand off me you piece of sh1t" soon sent them packing. I would sooner be chucked off the top of a cliff in a barrel than visit Lewisham again. 3) Camborne, Cornwall - There are some things that Camborne are proud of, one of which is that they have the highest underage pregnancy rate in the whole of Europe, Don't they have tellys? The other is that they are very close knit. I believe they are so close knit that some may be related twice if you get me? Camborne is a generally unpleasant place. Very dark and grotty it looks like something out of the League Of Gentleman...

Review of 10 best places to visit in Britian

10 PLACES I MISS.

Advantages: They make memories.
Disadvantages: The cost of getting there.

...I saw this category in the Ciao cafe and thought of the places that I miss in the U.K. Having lived in France for 15 years now, there are places that I yearn to be and last year, I took the ferry to England with an American girl and I shared with her the places that to me make England what it is. These have little to do with the aspects of living in England, although to me make my roots, places I remember from childhood revisited to see if they still live up to the promise that my thoughts of them had kept all these years and as you will discover, they did. DARTMOOR Dartmoor is where I grew up and I am at home in the hills. The drive from Yelverton to Princetown is one of my favourites because it takes you from roads that are hedged and hide the countryside into open moorland, and the feeling of breathing fresh air. The scenery...

Review of 10 best places to visit in Britian

Great place to visit.

Advantages: Free, lots to see
Disadvantages: None

...of native people, Prime Ministers and althletes as well as galaxies, maple leaves and quotes on the buildings. The show was fantastic and had I been Canadian I would have felt very patriotic. At the end of the show they played the anthem and everyone stood. I really wish that we had something similar in the UK. MY VERDICT: For anyone visiting Ottawa I would recommend the Parliament Buidings as the first port of call. They were beautiful and very interesting. Even if you're not a history nut like me they are worth a visit, especially as they are free. They guides were all very impressive and were all prepared to answer questions. I was especially impressed with our guide for the East Block when she phoned somebody to answer my question. You can spend a long time at the Buildings. The Centre Block tour lasted about 1 hour...

Review of Radisson Hotel Parliament Hill Ottawa, Ottawa

A Nice Place To Visit...

Advantages: Great weather
Disadvantages: 5th Avenue is oh so touristy

...there (a bonus for people who don't speak the language, as everyone does indeed speak English, but kinda a pain at the same time) and now that I've moved on I know I made the right choice. It's a nice place to visit...but you wouldn't want to live there. ------------------------------------------ - ------------------------------------------- *** Boring / Useful Stuff *** At the moment (summer 08) £1 = $2 = 20 pesos, mas o menos. My bible for my first few days and my obsession in the months leading up to my trip was this interactive: www. travelyucatan.com / playadelcarmenmexico / playadelcarmenmap.gif The electricity supply in Playa is tempremental, as is the case in much of Mexico. Power cuts are common, as are power-surges. If you take anything electrical (e.g. a laptop) invest in a 80 peso surge protector when...

Review of The Dark Place - Sam Millar

A truly beautiful and inspiring place to visit!

Advantages: Beautiful Beach, Great places to Visit, Great attractions
Disadvantages: I found the people quite rude!

...***WEYMOUTH*** Weymouth is a classic seaside resort in Dorset with a fantastic beach and beautiful harbour, which nestles perfectly alongside the Isle of Portland. Weymouth?s fine Georgian seafront is an impressive backdrop to the long arc of fine golden sand. With a beautiful beach, esplanade, historic harbour, marina and nature reserve this gives the town a rejuvenated town a combining traditional and modern feel to create a special place to visit any time of the year. Weymouth beach has been recognised as one of the top 10 UK beach destinations, which reflects their high standards of cleanliness, safety, information, facilities, water quality and environmental management.

Review of Weymouth (England)

Best-ival Place!

Advantages: Great shops, all indoors, cinema and restaurants too, cheap car park, easy to get to
Disadvantages: None

...enough, it is a great place to go for anything you can think of, and the best thing is that you can shop in the warm and dry, especially in this freezing winter weather! The main shopping centre is open from 9am to 8pm Monday to Friday, 9am-6pm on Saturdays, and 11am to 5pm on Sundays. Christmas opening times can be found on the website, as well as a full store guide, downloadable map, travel information, car park charges as well as news and promotions available in-store. If you are thinking about a visit to Festival Place, I would definitely recommend a visit to the website, www.festivalplace.co.uk before you go to get an idea of what to expect when you get there. Address: Festival Place Basingstoke Hampshire RG21 7LJ Website: www.festivalplace.co.uk Thank you very much for reading!...

Review of Festival Place, Basingstoke

Great place to visit!

Advantages: Great bargains and nice spots to discover!
Disadvantages: Quite hot over there!

...Port-Louis is the capital of Mauritius, the busiest city where everything happens! I visited or passed through Port Louis several times during my stay in Mauritius. This is the place where the main offices, buildings, centers and banks are found. The harbor and cargo delivery, as well as overseas parcel delivery buildings are also located at Port-Louis. It is quite easily the most important city of Mauritius. It is furthermore one of the major tourist spot. Here are a few tourist attractions of Port-Louis: The Caudan Waterfront: Like I mentioned in another review, Le Caudan Waterfront is simply a very large open-air mall. It includes three cinema halls, a wine and sushi bar, two games arcade, a casino, a marina, lots of restaurants, pubs and an uncountable number of high-quality garment shop. In fact, my Mauritian friends told me...

Review of Port Louis (Mauritius)

Great Place to Visit.

Advantages: Worthy Cause, Friendly Staff, lots to do. Free Parking
Disadvantages: Must be a dry day as much of it is outdoors.

...first visited Horseworld in January 2009. I happened to be driving past and noticed they were advertising Half Price entry during January. So a few days later myself and my friend took our 2 little girls (both aged 1 at the time). It's a little gem of a place, I can't believed i never visited sooner especially with living only a 20 minutes drive away. We loved it so much we became season ticket holders on our second visit. HISTORY Horseworld was established in 1952. Due to the more easily available and affordable transport, horses, ponies and donkeys were being abandoned and slaughtered even those still young and healthy. Marjorie Pelling and Madge Checkley joined the charity after reading a newspaper article and work for the organisation for the next 45 years. Fundraisers worked hard over the years, with flag...

Disadvantages: none

...Director: John Landis. Producers: George Folsey Jr, Aaron Russo, Irwin Russon and Sam Williams. Writers: Timothy Harris and Herchel Weingrod Stars: Dan Aykroyd, Eddie Murphy, Jamie Lee Curtis, Ralph Bellamy, Denholm Elliott and Don Ameche. Released in 1983 this comedy, starring the excellent Eddie Murphy, relies on the greed of humanity to bring onto the big screen a somewhat hilarious movie. **BRIEF PLOT** When Mortimer Duke, (played by Don Ameche) and his brother Randolph, (played by Ralph Bellamy) decide to place a rather strange wager to quench their boredom they don't care about the consequences to the victims involved. The wager comes to light when the brothers quarrel about how peoples backgrounds are what makes their futures. With their loyal and long time employee Louis Winthorpe the 3rd, (played by Dan...
