Advantages: A warming, pleasant atmosphere with spotless rooms and good service Disadvantages: Decor not particularly modern
I currently live in Stourport on Severn in the heart of Worcestershire and recently had some distant relatives come to visit for the weekend and we needed somewhere for them to stay as our house just wasn?t big enough to accommodate the whole family. In the end we decided to book a couple of rooms at the Oakleigh Guest House as I had heard good reviews on the place from friends.
~Location~

Tankersley manor
On a recent conference, I travelled to Barnsley and stayed in the four star Tankersley Manor Hotel, which is one of the Marston Group of hotels

From West-take M62. Leave at Junction 29, which becomes Junction 42 of the M1

If travelling by train, it is about 3 / 4 miles from Barnsley train station and costs about £9.
**ENTRANCE**
When we drove in through the large gates, what struck me initially was the number of car parking spaces. This is definitely one place which has set ...

Advantages: Clean drinking water, in some areas fluoride water Disadvantages: Monopoly, no alternative supplier, profits before people
Severn Trent Water is one of ten privatised water companies supplying water in the UK. It was was the Water Act of 1973 which created Severn Trent from the amalgamation of at least 25 publc authorities incuding Birmingham and Nottingham water boards. It supplies water to 8 million plus people and is regulated by OFWAT.
In 2005, it was ordered to repay £4m back to customers for over-charging. Further fraud investigations and fraud allegations and substantial fines have followed.
The company showed its better side when during the floods of 2007, it actively placed bowsers, in local areas. It currently operates 11 resevoirs.
It employs over 12000 people and a turnover of £1.48billon, netting £269 million as after tax profits.
However, like the figures above suggest, obscene amount of money is made by the company, yet it ...
