Review of Snow Hill Station

This dark and gloomy station could do with a spruce up! It's one of the smaller stations but with just one small newsagents and a coffee stop it could do with more amenities.

Review of Birmingham New Street Station
29 May 08, 08:27
Second city, but second rate!
Considering Birmingham is the second city New Street is a real let down. It's big dark, dirty, old and ugly! Across the contry all the major cities either boast stations that have either been modernised or have a classic feel, New Street is hideous. A lot of the platforms don't have escalators and the narrow staircases are a nightmare.
The concourse is ok, they have the major concessions, M&S, Boots, WHSmiths, Burger King etc. and there are plenty of fast ticket machines, but the waiting room is lacking and the baggage storage is expensive.

Review of Thai Edge
28 May 08, 14:44
Not Good!
I agree with Su, I've only been once because we had really bad service. The waitress didn't crack a smile the whole time we were there, the dishes didn't arrive at the same time, she started clearning the table before everyone had finished and was leaning across people while they were eating. The food is ok, no way near the best Thai I've ever had. It's a shame as it's got such a good location in brindley place.

Review of Cafe Giardino
28 May 08, 11:45
Over priced swill
I had lunch here at the weekend and it made me really angry!! I ordered 2 prawn baguettes, 2 drinks and a packet of crisps and it came to nearly £15, not that unusal in todays cafe culture but the standard was awful!! The bread was soft like a roll, not a crunchy baguette. The prawns were TINY and tasteless, the marie rose sauce was watered down so much it turned my stomach. Even the bottled water wasn't very nice and my friend had an iced coffee, no sweet frappachino here, literally cold, bitter coffee. I don't care if the parking is free, get yourself out of this dated hole and go to the bullring!

Review of Ritzy
29 Apr 08, 11:42
Hazard Warning
Ritzy is rough. Lincoln is very much lacking in night clubs so if you want to be out till the small hours drinking cheap brightly coloured vodka based products and pull a random guy this is the place, however if sticky floor and predictable DJ sets are not your scene steer clear. Also, I had my bag nicked from here so watch your back.

Review of Chicago Rock Cafe
29 Apr 08, 11:35
Gross
The Chicago Rock Café is too big and very rough. You’ll probably be familiar with the chain, and this is a particularly horrible example. It has no atmosphere and there are always ropey looking women puffing away outside.

Review of Morrisons
24 Apr 08, 13:30
Poor customer service
I have used this supermarket quite happily for years until last week whilst shopping with my 1 year old daughter l had a trolley so l could sit her in it whilst shopping. I only need a few items (5 in total) so went to the basket check out as all the other queues where huge. The girl on the counter then told me she wasnt able to serve me despite the low number of items just because l had a trolley. I thought this was awful, what would they prefer her running wild in the shop, whats the point of making oarking at supermarkets easier when they make the check out ridiculous and stressful when a child is screaming as we arent moving in a long queue?

Review of Rio's Nightclub
24 Apr 08, 13:13
Rough!
I must admit that I've never actually been to Rios but it has a terrible reputation for both the club itself and the people who go there (think old and desperate)

Review of Zaffs Food Diner
23 Apr 08, 16:42
Hostile atmosphere
I went to Zaffs with a group of friends after a night out and we were attacked by what I assume were a gang of regulars. The staff finally intervened when they realised that one of my friends had a serious head wound and there was blood all over their floor. Stay away.

Review of Wetherspoon
23 Apr 08, 16:06
Budget
Weatherspoons is the lowest of the low. They are all the same and they are all gross, they are the MacDonald’s of the pub world. It’s cheap and you get what you pay for. The coffee is horrible, the food is horrible and the drinks selection is poor. They are smelly and badly decorated, the atmosphere is dirty and threatening. Stay away.

Review of Rhubarb Rhubarb
16 Apr 08, 13:02
Food poisoning.
In a lot of ways this place is really really nice. The decor is lovely and the atmosphere is great, warm, exotic and romantic. The menu is expensive so I went there as a bit of a treat, I had the steak and it made me so ill! Very disappointing as it's such a nice place and it was so expensive!

Review of Tesco Stores
16 Apr 08, 12:43
Big isn't always best
This Tesco is VAST so best not to go there if you just need a couple of bits as there is always a massive queue and it takes forever just to walk around and the layout (which they have recently changed) is massively confusing. For it’s massive size the stock still isn’t exhaustive and I have on several occasions been unable to find things. There aren’t enough staff on hand to cover such a huge space.

Review of Suits You
15 Apr 08, 13:45
Poor customer service!
My boyfriend and I went to buy some shirts. We were told a certain brand were 'slim fit' however when we got them home they were like tents so we had to take them back. When I returned to the store the next day the man who refunded my money asked who had served me the day before then laughed and said 'he'd do anything to sell a shirt'. Good for him but very inconvenient for me!!
