Review of BP Service Stations
11 Apr 08, 21:37
Pricey but very handy... 
The BP Service Stations at Toddington are exactly what you'd expect from motorway service petrol stations - they charge a premium because they are right on the motorway, so expect to pay at least a couple of pence more per litre than you would at any other petrol station, and don't expect to be served with a smile!
The weird one-way system you have to drive round the services to get to the petrol station is also very confusing!

Review of Fire 107 6 FM
11 Apr 08, 21:33
Another radio station 
Fire 107.6 is a radio station for Bournemouth, Poole, and Christchurch that plays 'Non-Stop 90s and Now' music. This means they play predominantly current music which is good, but personally I like the other radio stations in the area that also play the hits but also throw in a song or two that I haven't heard in a while!
The station does not sound as good as it used to but remains popular with students after a night out.

Review of Toys 'R' Us
11 Apr 08, 21:28
More toys than you can imagine!
"There' millions, said Geoffrey, all under one roof..." as the advert once sang, and they weren't wrong! If you're ever stuck for a birthday/Christmas present then Toys'R'Us is always a safe bet - even for grown ups!
Obviously they've got everything a child could want, but sometimes it's the ideal place to go when looking for a present for a 'big kid' because us grown ups never really grow up, do we?! And being on the Interchange Retail Park there is ample free parking which is a bonus!

Review of A To B Cars
11 Apr 08, 21:26
Fast and reliable taxis! 
A To B cars are always fast, friendly and polite! After a night out the number is easy to remember, they tell you when they will arrive and they are usually spot on! The friendly drivers are always up for a chat on your journey but if you feel like keeping quiet then they don't natter on at you about inane things!
They're always first choice on my nights out!

Review of Tesco Stores
11 Apr 08, 21:24
A Big Tesco...
You know the score with these large 24-hour Tesco stores - you can buy everything from a pint of milk and some vegetables to a brand new television and hi-fi.
This Tesco is popular with the employees of the nearby Elms Farm Industrial Estate so the sandwich and snacks section can quickly run out at lunch time!
There is also a petrol station on-site which is handy if you're ever running low!

Review of Bumble Bee
11 Apr 08, 21:20
Attracts a younger crowd...
'The Bee' is not as good as some of the other pubs in Flitwick - it doesn't feel as warm and friendly as others and attracts a younger crowd.
If you're looking for a venue for a couple of drinks before a night out then this may be the place but don't come in expecting a quiet drink! There is a weekly quiz and DJ entertainment at weekends.

Review of Pizza Hut
11 Apr 08, 21:16
Can't beat the Buffet Lunch!
Home of the exceptional Pizza Hut Buffet Lunch, many a time most of our office have decamped to Pizza Hut to take advantage of the lunchtime buffet option, although we were disappointed to discover recently that the buffet at this branch no longer operates for the whole day but finishes at 3pm.
Outside of these hours service is generally quick and polite though sometimes you can be left waiting for drinks refils and they can take their time in bringing the bill too!

Review of Cineworld
11 Apr 08, 21:14
Good place to see a film...
If you're looking to catch a film in Bedford then you're limited for choice but as far as the big cinema chains go Cineworld offers more than most - the prices are reasonable (even for refreshments), there's plenty of legroom on ALL the seats (not just the expensive upgrade ones like other cinemas) and they offer a decent student discount.
The only downside is that Cineworld is located at Aspects Leisure Park so you can get groups of 'youths' loitering of an evening!

Review of Four Bedford Ltd Restaurant
11 Apr 08, 21:11
One of the best... 
If you're looking to eat out in Bedford you can't do much better than the classy 'Four' restaurant.
The venue looks stunning and so does the food... I was delighted to discover it tastes even better than it looks!
Whenever I've got relatives or 'someone special' in town Four is the first place I suggest! (...so long as they're paying!)

Review of 2CR
11 Apr 08, 16:43
It's brilliant!
This station plays Today's Best Mix for Bournemouth! The Paul Bunker Show is a brilliant way to wake up! There might be the name of a rival station on the balloon in the gardens, but where it counts (in the music and what they say) 2CR is much the better station! It's always playing a song I love and the presenters are always talking about funny things they've seen in Dorset & The New Forest, I love it!
