North End, Boston

Beckham learned his skills at the North End

Advantages: Decent team and more exciting than the Premiership
Disadvantages: Not having that good a season

'Sorry for the low rate but there is so much more info that you can give here.' This seems to be a comment that I have left quite a lot when reading recent ops from members about their favourite football clubs, although standards are improving. When I noticed that I thought it was about time to put my money where my mouth is so to speak and write an op about football the way that I would like to see one with short pieces about all apsects of the club. So, here goes, an opinion on Preston North End, affectionately known as PNE. Beware this could be a long op!! Brief History PNE can be traced back as far as 1863, but at that time it was an amateur cricket club. They were named Preston North End for the simple fact that they were located at the North End of town (there is actually an amateur team called Preston West End). They ...

Review of Preston North End

BOSTON IN DECEMBER

Advantages: Excellent dollar rate, laid back city
Disadvantages: Spent too much shopping and did not get to see the famous New England Fall trees!

– if you are prepared to search – you will get a bargain or 2! Boston is a beautiful city – and l would say l like the feel and the people more so that that of NYC. I would say as our break was predominantly made up of shopping, l would like to go back – at the end of summer to watch the world famous trees change colour and perhaps take trip out to Martha’s Vineyard or Cape Cod to experience that true New England flavour. But as a short break to a city l can thoroughly recommend it and for all you shopaholics out there – you will not be disappointed l can guarantee! For this trip we used the DK Top 10 Boston Guide book and a pop up Boston street map – available from www.amazon.co.uk Heather ...

Review of Boston

Boston Hilton

Advantages: Comfortable, clean, good location
Disadvantages: Prices during the week

I like my home comforts when I am travelling abroad, but Mr Tart is quite happy to stay in any old hostel. We were looking for somewhere to stay on a trip to Boston and had decided that a guest house would be a happy medium. However, they weren?t that cheap and when I had a look on Expedia and found a Hilton for less money I couldn?t believe my luck! LOCATION: This Hilton is located in Boston?s Financial District. It is at 89 Broad Street. Despite it being in the Financial District we found it very easy to walk from the hotel to the main tourist sites of the city. Quincy Market and the Old State House were only 10 minutes walk away. PRICES: The price of this particular hotel seems to vary a lot depending on when you stay and who you book through. As the hotel is in the Financial District it puts up a lot of business ...
