Review of Kyrenia Cafe
17 Apr 08, 16:44
Unique smell 
This cafe has a smell that I've never smelt before in my life.
I can't even work out what it's a mix of, or if it's a bad or good smell, but there aren't many things in this world that are unique so I'm willing to put this down as a good thing.
Of course all humans and animals are unique (apart from twins or clones of course) but lets be honest there a unique cafe smell has to be a world first.
As well as smelling interesting this place also sells a wide range of burgers and breakfasts.

Review of Morrisons

Used to be alright
This place used to be alright when it was a Safeway, now it's just a bit nasty.
If you like eating tripe and 99p pizza then it's probably right up your street.
For me the standards on the deli counter especially have gone down.

Review of The Carphone Warehouse

Interesting name
This place falls down at the first hurdle. It's name.
It doesn't sell carphones and it's not based in a warehouse.
It'd be like Sainsburys "Weapons Stall".
What they do sell is mobiles and they do it from a shop. Perhaps Mobile Shop might be a good idea for a new name?

Review of Lillywhites

A mess
If you just love the thrill of a jumble sale and have missed your local one, why not come to Lillywhites? All their merchandise is thrown all over the place meaning your next bargain might just be under your feet! They have a large range of trainers in styles you'll not have seen elsewhere... and there's a reason for that!

Review of River Island Clothing Co
17 Apr 08, 08:48
Confusing
If you think about the name River Island for too long you'll get a headache. It would seem to suggest an island that is made of rivers.. but wouldn't that just be a river? But if it were an island on a river shouldn't that be called Island River? And what if that island on the river had a river on it, perhaps a creek? Then that would be Island River Creek. Anyway, this is a clothes store which sells a limited amount of fashionable items and backs them up with a range of cheap shirts.

Review of Walkabout
15 Apr 08, 17:58
If Skins was set in Bromley this is where they'd hang out.
Full of 15 year olds covered in make-up and aftershave depending on their gender... or maybe not in some cases
It's hard to see anything Australian about this at all apart from the Aboriginal drawings on the wall and the obsession with Rugby League on the teles

Review of USC

Not a huge fan
I'd say it's only worth going here when the sales are on as it's really over priced otherwise.
Loads of designer gear if that's what your into and the service is always good and friendly.
They have a good selection of trainers that you wouldn't see in other stores

Review of Sainsburys
15 Apr 08, 17:42
Often run out of stuff
I've never known a supermarket who run out of stuff more than this place. Unless you're first through the door they'll probably be out of milk and most kinds of meat and vegetables.
The checkout staff here are happy enough in a simple kind of way.

Review of The Chandos

Smelly
This place smells of wet tramps.
It has home made beer that gives you a headache although you could buy a football squad a round and still have change from a fiver.
It's like drinking in the pub in Holyoakes where every brand of drink looks similar to something you'd want to drink but isn't quite right

Review of Goose Public House

Really cheap and cheerful
You can get a round of drinks here and get change from a fiver. But it's a bit nasty.
They've just had a bit of a re-fit but it's hard to see what's changed.
Just like any other Goose around the country, only really good if you're a few days away from pay day and broke

Review of Brigde Bar
15 Apr 08, 11:51
Cheesy but a laugh
This place is home to some of the rudest most petty bouncers I've ever come across.
It's like going back in time 20 years. If you're a man you're not getting in unless you're wearing a collar and have black shoes on.
That's their basis of working out if you're a trouble maker!
You could a nice friendly person wearing a jumper and a new band new pair of smart trainers but you won't get in. But the scum in the line behind you wearing a cheap polo shirt and a pair of Clarkes will get in.
Little Hitlers all of them.
Once you get past the idiots on the door the place is alright. Although if you pay by card it still comes up as Langtrys on your bank statement which is a wierd throwback to this place's last incarnation.
