Review of Motor World

Grim 
It's probably the horrible little boy racers parked on the pavement and in the bus stop outside that really puts you off this place. It's a bit like Diet Halfords, a bit smaller and with a bit less than you'd find in a regular branch of Halfords.

Review of Roundswell Services

Four star 
One of the few 24 hour garages in this part of Devon, so it's ideal for those early starts when you're determined to beat the traffic. Also handy for the usual garage stand bys to tides you over on the journey like bottles of pop and vastly over priced sandwiches.

Review of Havana Coffee Co
18 Apr 08, 10:10
Wholesale only these days 
Which is disappointing. When they had their shop in Holland Walk in Barnstaple you could get some great coffee in there, but now they only supply to the trade you've got to find out who they sell to and go there instead. The place was full of cups and saucers and nick nacks too, it was great fun...

Review of Sainsburys

Don't like the refit
All they've done is introduce build a big bit on the end so they can move everything along a bit and stick in a load of clothes etc that you don't want. Can't you just go in these places and get your groceries any more? And why have so many tills if you're only ever going to staff six of them?

Review of Staples UK
14 Apr 08, 14:13
Scary! 
Is there such a thing as too much choice? How many different types of envelope do you need to pick from? They always ask you if you've found whatever it is you're looking for but by then I've forgotten what it was I wanted to get in the first place!

Review of Comet Group
14 Apr 08, 14:10
Guarantee?
Sometimes the guarantees they have to try and sell you at these places look like they're going to end up costing you more than the product you're actually buying? It does make you wonder about the quality...

Review of Currys

Be careful
These guys aren't always the cheapest! It's well worth looking around and making sure that no one else in the area is doing a better offer before you go in there to buy. Avoid at Christmas: just too busy.

Review of Furnfix Kitchen Planners

Quality craftsmanship 
These guys take a real pride in their work. Nothing is too much trouble for them because they want to get the job right. And when they've finished it looks wonderful.

Review of Boots The Chemists
14 Apr 08, 14:04
They annoyed me big time!
Went in there to buy something only to be told that I couldn't as the member of staff who had to tell me to always read the label wasn't available. Had to go back an hour later, he told me to read the label and I walked away very annoyed at such a complete waste of my time.

Review of Wimpy
14 Apr 08, 14:02
No it isn't!
It's the KFC that North Devon's been waiting for: was it worth the wait? Yes and no. It's just another branch of KFC but at least you no longer have to tell surprised holiday makers that they've got to go to Exeter to get one when they ask you for details.

Review of McDonald's Restaurants
14 Apr 08, 13:59
Not McBad but not McGood either
Up/down to their usual MC standards and so they Mc should be! Check your order before you leave: it's annoying when they leave stuff out (but nice when they put extras in). You don't want to like it but you do...

Where have they gone?
I just couldn't believe it when I got there and saw the newspaper all over the windows! They should have told people where they were going.

Review of Taw Garages
14 Apr 08, 13:52
Fast and friendly
Whenever I've been in here with scratches and scrapes (not my fault, honest) they've always sorted it out really quickly. It's one of those places you always with you never had to go to in the first place, but they always make you glad you did!

Review of Pat Williams

How does he do it?
Some of the nationals must wonder how they do it? The range of stock they keep is phenomenal, the prices are great and the service is just incredible: it's like they see it as a challenge. Try and find something they haven't got!
