Advantages: Die Hard Car Disadvantages: Well, Its a Lada.
Truth be told, Ive never actually owned one, I would never admit it, but Ive been in quite a few.
This is the car made from scrap sardine cans, yet can run on Vodka, that is because, of course, it is Russian made! (In Russia, its called the Zhiguli)
In most former soviet countries, including the UK.... ur, sorry, slip of the tongue, we are of course still under a communist Dictatorship (I jest) you will find a Lada Riva, or its variant, or indeed, a Lada Riva Chasis, with things welded to it, driving around at full pelt.
The Engine Rev counter only needs 2 settings for display, Engine off, and Full Revs, as Ive certainly never seen a Lada of any description operating under differing circumstances.
Lada is the trademark of AvtoVAZ, a Russian car manufacturer.. It was chosen for exports over the domestic Zhiguli brand, but ...

Advantages: It?s France (with a soupçon of Italy) Disadvantages: It's the Riviera
border an area known as the pays mentonnais. Its main town, Menton, is either completely different from the rest of the Côte d?Azur or much the same, depending on which way you choose to look at it.
Personally, I prefer to look at it from the perspective that makes it appear completely different. And just as five minutes on La Croisette at Cannes makes me loathe the Côte d?Azur, five minutes in the old town at Menton convinces me that I lôve it really after all.

Why? What?s so different? There are big hotels in Menton too, some with pretensions to swankiness, and apartment blocks, and yachts in the harbour, and pricey restaurants. There are widows with rinses d?azur, gold jewellery and poodles in such abundance that one has to wonder what they?ve all done ...

Advantages: Central location, clean Disadvantages: Food, rooms
We stayed at this hotel in London a little over a month ago now for two nights, we chose this hotel mainly because of the central location and because it was only a ten minuite walk from the show we had booked to go too.
Check in was very quick - About ten minuites and the staff at the reception seemed very friendly.
My first thoughts on the hotel was that it looked really clean and that it was nicely decorated and it looked modern.
I was a little dissapointed with our room as it was very small and basic, our room had a double bed, tea and coffee making facilities, a tv with satellite and a small, basic en suite bathroom with a shower.
The views from our room very very poor - A block of offices which made our room dark as they were so close.
The hotel has two bars and two resturaunts, the bars were again nicely decorated ...
