Review of Argos

Shopping - Eastern Bloc style 
Don't go to Argos. Just don't do it.
You walk in, past a chorus of gentlemen of the road drunkenly perched on the benches, stroll up to a laminated dog eared catalogue, (25% of the contents of which will be unavailable) you scribble down your order with a bookies pen on what looks like a lottery ticket, and you go and sit on a row of nondescript NHS chairs whilst the families around you scream and nudge each other.
You can get a lot of what you want cheaply, but you have to wait for it - and why ruin your week by shopping in the closest thing to the Soviet Union the UK has to offer. It's depressing. Just go to Woolies in Chapel Market instead.

Review of Borough Bar and Dining

Borough Bar whining
First off, in all fairness the staff were lovely, they did keep asking me if everything was ok, and I lied because I am not a complainer - well that is I creep off and do it on the web to avoid confrontation.
I went here to have a nice hang over curing stodge fest - and ordered the bangers and mash. They arrives promptly, but the food was well below par. The sausages were bland and tasteless, the potato was straight out of a local primary school and the gravy was thin, watery and not hot enough.
There were two other problems - they have a timer on the lights in the toilets so I found myself plenged literally into total darkness mid - er - visit, and it took me five minutes to find my way out.
To cap it all off, their chip and pin machine couldn't get any reception, and I was stood there for about fifteen minutes whilst the tried three times to make it work.
Sorry guys, you have a lovely place and a great attitude but the food is not up to scratch.
