Chav Tastic

This used to be a superb brand, that sold some really cool clothes but now I really associate it with chavs, often teens hanging around in and outside. Not one of the better shops anymore.

Not My Cuppa

I can't really comment on this place as I'm not a goth, but I wouldn't by from here. It does seem popular though and I am sure that if its you're kinda clothing you'll like it.

Review of The Orange Shop

Hell

I'm not a big fan of Orange the netwrok, they're pricey, the phones are dates and struggle for signal. This isn't a bid branch though, nice staff. and a good range of handsets.

Review of Matalan

30 May 08, 15:35

Mess

This store is pretty much a cheap mess. You need to be a member before they'll sell you anything and the store has stuff spanked all over the floor. The staff need to be more attentive, and they need to stop selling coats in the summer!!

Review of Warehouse

Pricey

My girlfriend and I were looking for something for her for a night out, and this place had some lovely stock but most of it was marked, or had a hole in, which was disappointing, its not a cheap place to shop either.

Review of Alif Enterprises

30 May 08, 15:07

Rubbish

I don't like it in here, the shop is small and dingy, the staff make you feel uncomfortable, and the clothing always seems dated.

They need to get more up to date.

Review of Pizza Village

30 May 08, 11:55

Tasteless

Not one of the pizza joints MK has to offer. The pictures on the menu look appealing but when you get the pizza you'll realised that it could've done with being cooked a little longer, as the cheeses in the middle is often hard. Had it twice and its been like it both times.

If you buy from here, you'll need the good luck just to get through the other side, its horrible, full of grease, and the hsop looks dirty from the outside. I'll never eat there again.

Rumours

I've heard a few rumours about this place, saying that they aren't very nice people to deal with, they just want your money and t get you outta the show room asap. When I buy a car I want to make sure I make the right decision so don't want to feel rushed or pressured.

Review of JJB Sports

14 May 08, 13:34

Huge

One of the biggest sports shops in town, but the staff are pretty useless really, they won't order you anything, if they haven't got it they won'tget it. Over priced and understocked in bigger shoe sizes.

13 May 08, 11:51

Slow

This is the slowest McD's in the world, no one seems in a rush, fast food, what a lie, when you finally get served you wonder why you bothered as the foods often cold.

Just avaoid and head to the other one in town at Hardwick.

Dissapointing

Huge shop, huge choicew, nothing nice in my size, you can spend hours in here trying to find the bargain of the century, but the chances are you won't as ever find it as all the nice stuff never tends to be in your size.

On the plus they do have some nice homewear at bargain prices.

For some reason this MCD's is always rammed with chavs, they constantly poke fun at old people and the disadvantages.

The foods typical McD's, fairly efficient but often luke warm, not hot.

Termination

Wheneveer I want to head to this part of town all the trains seem to terminate here, why i don't know, they just seem to be jinxed, you get stuck behind another train cos of signal failures all the time in this area.

When you get off its ok, nothing special around, apart from a few restaurants.

You'll Queue For Ever!

Was just reading Kathryn's review and she's so right, if you don't get your tube ticket upstairs at the mainline station you'll queue for ages, but alsoi when you finally get to the tube platforms you'll find alot of the trains are over crowded anyway so you'll end up waiting for at least 3/4 trains til you can actually get on one, lots of argy bargy and businessmen who don't care if they send you flying.

Be ruthless or you'll never get on!

Review of Covent Garden Underground Station

Stairs Galore

One thing I would say is if you're like me and hate lifts get off at Hoborn or Leicester Square and walk, cos there is literally a mountain to climb to get out of Covent Garden.

Whatever time of the day you go this place is always rammed but when you get out you see why, a beautiful shopping arcde and some lovely restaurants which are well worth a visit.

Shows live football, welcomes familys with a kids play area, but always seems dark and dull inside, think it could do with a lick of paint and a landlord who stays longer than 6 months.

Thats its major downfall.

My other half is looking for a new car and loves the mini, so we popped down for a visit a while back, but they wouldn't let her take a test drive because they thought we were just messing about.

It looks like she's got the one she wanted from elsewhere now anyway, so they lost a sale.

Pricey Petrol

Now I know the price of fuel is ridiculously high but this place bites the biscuit.

It charges 118.9 for diesel, and 108.9 for petrol when the shell garage on the opposite side of the road is 3p cheaper on both petrol and diesel.

It's disguiting. If I were you I'd head round the roundabout and back to the shell.

If you ever need to stock the cupboards I'd advise you try a different store, everytime I pop in here its understocked, and appears to be over priced.

I went in for bread, milk and loo roll, they only had milk, and I grabbed the last 4 pints of that.

I'm not very impressed with the ARC down at Kingston, having paid £6 for it I expected my car to come out dirt less and sparkling, boy was I wrong. The mixed colour foam din't do the trick, and I'd recommend spending an extra pound or two on a hand carwash!
