Very Best Of The Ventures, The - Ventures (The)

Advantages: Great products, great experince, friendly and courteous staff
Disadvantages: Non really - products can be expensive at the top end

...I originally posted this in the wrong place - not very good with computers - sorry! Anyway.. Venture Portraits in Leamington Spa I've now been to Venture Leamington Spa and i can honestly say....... it was one of the best experiences i have ever had. The staff were very helpful and courteous, the session was brilliant, the shots were great and there was no pressure to buy at any point. I presumed with there being expensive pieces on show there would be, but the staff guided my family where needed and left us to it when we wanted as well. We've now got some great art pieces and i'm very proud. They are at the top end of the market, but you pay for what you get. If you want something cheap and very standard go elsewhere, if not visit this branch. I also have a few friends that have been. One did have a small problem with one... Read review

Advantages: Good Size, Brilliant Value, High Quality, Sturdy, Easy to Erect
Disadvantages: None that I can think of!

...I purchased my Vango Venture 500 towards the end of 2006. For the bargain price of £85.00 and I haven't looked back since! Numourus camping trips have bee happily spent in this tent and it will see many more!

Advantages: Detachable CD Player
Disadvantages: Blue Light!

...The Venturer DMS 8770 is a handy, quite slim, useful little stereo system. The design is simple enough, two speakers on the sides then a detachable cd compartment that can be removed and used as a CD walkman. Underneath that is the controls and a lit up clock. I must admit this took me a while to get the hang of, I couldn't get it to play CDs and I couldn't get it to work as an alarm clock so I just had it there as an expensive clock. After a while of playing around it became more simple. Basically the standby button is the key to most things. Pretty stupid of me not to realise that I needed to turn the thing on first I know but it's me! Well firstly the CD player is good enough, I have had a couple of problems with it and only one speaker working occasionally but that may well be to damaged caused by me. As it can be used...
