Review of The Ship

Shipshape 
You wouldn't find this place unless you were told about it. If you find it, tucked away on the river, you'll love it.
So here goes.....
An all round great pub and definately worth a visit but the location is both terrible and great at the same time.
Good because its great for the summer, it has an extensive beer garden that looks directly onto the Thames. You can eat inside or at lunchtimes and during the early evening they hold a BBQ on the weekends. Great value and good tasting food at under £5.00. It is generally heaving on sunny days.
It terrible because its cut off for any real transport links - asides from bus - unless you walk or come by car in which case, parking can be a bit difficult as it is restricted. The Traffic wardens know this and are often on the prowl around here.
It's very popular with those that live locally - Wandsworth, Clapham Junction and Wandsworth Bridge road etc.
The inside is light and airy and the bar staff are helpful. They do cash back which is great as there isn't a cash machine for miles.
There is also a larger dining area where the food is actually very good. The smart end of the gastro-pub market and worth going to for an evening in the summer or winter.
Oh, quick word of warning. There is gravel processing yard or something next door so on occasion - and only on occasion - it can be a bit noisy but not enough to interupt!

Review of Bathstore.com

Hmmm 
On the face of it, what could go wrong with a store that specialises in bathrooms? It's a chain so they must be doing something right and seamlessly so? It sells what it says on the tin.
The shop is laid out well on two floors (ground and basement) so you can have a good look at different fixtures and fittings and the sales people are helpful and will happily discuss different types of product and answer any questions that they can. It is at the middle to quite expensive range so if you're on a tight budget don't go here.
The ordering takes some time and despite having things on show they often don't have things in stock which means that you have to wait for things to arrive.
The good things end though after ordering. Personal experience and anecdotal comments are always the same. Items not processed despite being paid for, the wrong items delivered, charged for items that weren't ordered. Redelivery of the wrong items, the items never turning up. It's chaos. According to the stores staff (yep), they get a lot of complaints as the warehouse doesn't keep an accurate record of items in stock and their orders are often wrong. We all expect some cock ups now and then but if you value your sanity avoid this place like the plague.
Just too unreliable.
