Advantages: Wonderful scenery, very factual, cute penguins Disadvantages: some sad moments
March of the Penguins is a film which I had been undecided about watching for quite some time. After finally buying it me and my hubby sat down last night to watch it. I was aware before the film began that it was more of a documentary but this did not bother me as I do occasionally like documentaries if they are on good subjects.
The start of the film shows the amazing South Pole and the narration tells us that at one time people did live here as it was once a much warmer place before the land split and moved and subsequently became covered in ice. Morgan Freeman gives the narration to the documentary and he tells us of one tribe which has remained in the South Pole and how they are penguins. Firstly we meet the Emperor penguins, the males, which are by the sea feeding and all of they at the same time start out on a very long walk ...

Advantages: They cater for the mature woman and they also stock the larger sizes. Disadvantages: None
Bon Marche have always been labelled as a clothing store that caters for the mature woman, I admit that I am mature but I will not admit to being dowdy or too far behind the times.
The Bon Marche store in our small town is quite a large store with a modern frontage and inside the clothing is all very well displayed.
If I am looking for something extra special, maybe to wear to a wedding or a party then a visit to the city is on the cards but for everyday clothing Bon Marche has quite a lot to offer.
The store itself is sparkling clean and given that I am a regular visitor I get a warm welcome from the staff. I also have a Bon Marche loyalty card which offers no points or financial gain but when the store has special offers and sales then you are one of the first to know, you also receive vouchers that will entitle you to a discount ...
