Review of Borough Market
21 Jan 08, 15:07
Good food costs more! 
I love food and therefore I love Borough Market! It's a veritable assault on the senses, with colours, sounds, sights and smells everywhere you turn. There is prepared food to eat while you make your way around the market; and plenty of choice for tonight's dinner.
As you would expect, the quality of the food is reflected in the price; those used to supermarket prices should stay well clear. Personally, I think great food is worth paying for and will happily dig a little deeper.
The only downside is that it can get really busy. They need to implement some sort of one way system, especially as the volume of people can add to the overwhelmingness of the market.
I will definitely be making regular trips here to experiment with different foodstuffs in my cooking...

Review of Pick More Daisies

Yum Yum Yum!!
Wow, these guys served the best breakfast I have had in a long time!
I'd heard good things about this place, and after trekking a (very!) long way to get here - I was not disappointed. On the contrary, it was well worth the effort...
The "All-American" all day breakfast, was the best American style brekkie this side of the Atlantic. Fresh orange juice, generous portions and friendly service are included in the price, which is very reasonable.
If you happen to be within a 50 miles radius, don't hesitate to go here...

Review of Apple Store

Think Different, please!
I love and hate this place! 28,000 sq ft of Apple stuff - quite simply heaven... If only it wasn't for the people! Why are there so many of them. Clearly not all of them are Apple users/fans (about 99.99%), so why can't they just go away and leave me alone to actually appreciate the products, rather than peer over the shoulder of irritating tourists and confused microtards...
There should be a license, with an Apple entrance exam, that one has to display to get in... Or maybe shoppers should be forced to wear 'Bomb Redmond' pin badges... Or better still, you should get stripped searched on the way in. If you are carrying anything less than an iPod, MacBook, iPhone and a recent edition of MacWorld magazine, you should be ejected from the store for eternity!
However, if you are lucky enough to go to this place when it is relatively empty (perhaps late at night, or during a Windows update or something), you will find yourself walking around in awe, whilst convincing yourself that you 'need' that new iMac, iPod or other essential piece of hardware.
I love the fact that there is a place on earth with probably the highest density of Apple products per sq ft. And that the largest Apple Store in the world is here in London. For me, going to this place reminds me how much I love Apple. Their taste in design is exquisite and is reflected in this space, providing a retail experience that is second to none.
100 stars for the store, -95 stars for the annoying shoppers who are there for all the wrong reasons...!!
