Advantages: cheap, nice bottle, lovely feminine scent
Disadvantages: Could last a little bit longer

...As anyone who has read any of my other reviews will know, I adore perfume and have a massive collection sitting on my bedroom shelves. Morgan is not normally a name a would associate with perfume and to be honest, I probably wouldn't have bought this product for myself, but it was bought for me by my Mum for Christmas last year. Morgan De Toi This perfume came out in 2003 and was meant to be distinctly feminine and aimed at fashion conscious women looking for a chic perfume. Packaging The box for this perfume is red and has a picture of the bottle of perfume on the front. The words Morgan eau de toilette is written across the front of the box at the top. The bottle itself is fairly simple and is shaped very similar to the shape of the female body, so the bottle is sort of nipped in where the waist would be. The bottle... Read review

Advantages: Good quality on clothes, nice presentation of the ranges in the shop.
Disadvantages: Pricey, Pricey,.. and did I meantion pricey?! Shops only in Major cities, or Towns, and limited choice of clothes, as well as sizes.

...! The slogan 'Morgane de toi' comes from the French saying, in otherwords 'Morgane of you' -this can be interpreted any way you want. It was first established in France, and began its business on the high streets of Paris along the Champs-de-lycees. When people began to take an interest at the unique style of their range, the prices also turned pretty unique aswell. So in conclusion, I think this is a little-big bit of a rip-off!! Unless you want to spend more than twice the amount you would usually pay on the normal high street -I would stay very well clear of the catching heart symbol and Parisienne lingo!... Read review

Advantages: Lovely light fragrance
Disadvantages: None

...of the fragrances mentioned above but with the patchouli and musk being more dominant now but in no way is it cloying or overly strong. Overall this one is a fresh, fruity and light fragrance with subtle undertones of spice. I can't help but keep sniffing it when I wear it as it is such a pleasent smell and I have had many compliments on it. I tend to wear this more during the daytime as it is so light and refreshing however I have used it at night for a special occasion and it has worked well. The staying power is extremely good especially for the low price. If I spray some on in the morning it will last all day which surprised me as it is Eau de Toilette and not as concentrated as the perfume which tends to last longer. The best bit is the price! For a 50ml bottle I paid £9.99 at Superdrug and on checking feelunique.com (formerly known as Island... Read review

Advantages: nice when everything is going well
Disadvantages: Unhelpful and unapologetic when things go completely wrong

...Dear Ciao readers, I thought I should post this to warn people about Morgan Stanley. Sorry in advance for the length. In June 2006 I took out a credit card with Morgan Stanley with a deal of 2% cash back for 6 months which would then revert to 1%. When it arrived I started using it and everything was fine. After the second month I noticed that the cash back hadn't been applied properly as only 1% had been applied. When I contacted them I was told not to worry as they were aware there was a problem but it would be sorted out by my anniversary date at the latest. Satisfied, I continued using the card. When I used it to purchase a wardrobe I received a call one minute after walking out the store. The phone call was from a lovely Morgan Stanley customer advisor who was concerned about the large purchase that was outwith my normal... Read review

Advantages: An excellent hotel
Disadvantages: Outside noise from revellers disturbs sleep

...INTRODUCTION My wife and I agreed that our next holiday would be in Prague. But after the events of September 11th I did not want a long flight so we agreed to a 5-day stay in Dublin. My parents have this stupid habit of visiting our flat when we are on holiday. This means that they can go through all our documents eg bank statements in the flat without being disturbed. But as my parents are currently in India we went to Dublin without them knowing about it. We booked the trip via British Airways Holidays. Being a (beleaguered) British Airways shareholder I get a discount voucher, which knocked off 10% of the holiday package. The BA Holidays brochure advertised 5 hotels in Dublin. The Morgan Hotel was the only hotel to offer a bonus night free so we plumped for the Morgan. LOCATION The Morgan Hotel is located... Read review

Advantages: Tasty and sweet nectar
Disadvantages: the captain gets a bit fruity after a few glasses

...Hey landlubbers!!!!!! Captain Escobar here, fresh from sailing the seven seas plundering and pillaging my scurvy enemies (or fresh from working some godawful hours, leaving me no time for ciao). Just got into port and thought I would share my thoughts on an Uber drink from an old pal of mine, Captain Morgan. Now I was off the coast of morocco when I saw the familiar site of old Captain Morgans Galleon, now I had not realised that the old man had sold out so much as he had all sorts of sponsors pinned to the side of the ship. It seems that he had been brewing up his own rum for about thirty years which was slightly rude as he had only offered me warm cans of tetleys when I had visited him before. Well this rum had been a hit all over the world prompting Monsieur Morgan to think hey I could get loads of hot chicks and oodles... Read review

Advantages: Great range of seeds
Disadvantages: None

...Thompson and Morgan's catalogue (online and print) is interesting and filled with wonderful seeds you can grow. My wife is not keen on buying plants that have already been started. "Where is the fun in that?" she muses. "Don't people know the true joy of growing from seed?" It has to be said that she has a good point and that the Thompson and Morgan website certainly helps her to fulfil her ambition of not buying ready started plants, buy providing a truly magnificent range of seeds that you can plant and thus grow yourself, from scratch. The web site is easy to navigate and has simple, easy to read and easy to understand instructions for even the Internet virgin. There's a cheery introduction by Michael Perry, the specialist project manager, which contains a promise that if you are not satisfied, then Thompson and Morgan... Read review

Advantages: Easy to read
Disadvantages: No depth to the story

...BACKGROUND AND STORYLINE Colleen McCullough is best known for “The Thorn Birds”, a novel novel (if I may use the two words together) about an Australian ranching family. With this epic in mind I picked up “Morgan’s Run”, another epic-length novel, recognising McCullough’s name. Promisingly, the cover claims the novel is a return to McCullough’s successful novel-writing ground of Australia. With this in mind I was surprised (though pleasantly, as I studied in Bristol) to find the novel started off in Bristol, and not Australia, as I was expecting. Morgan’s Run is set in the dying years of the 18th century and features Richard Morgan. When we meet him he is about 32, happily married with a son and working for his father in an alehouse in Bristol. He has been well educated... Read review

Advantages: Top name in fashion
Disadvantages: Poor material

...In this day and age, with technology growing as it is now, you would think that a reputable company like Morgan would be able to make their clothes out of a more luxurious and comfortable material. You can walk into any urban outfitters in your local highstreet and find an abundance of well fitting, quality merchandise, which are manufactured from strong, comfortable and quality material. I just cant stand the cheap, scratchy material that the people at Morgan insist on making their clothes from. Also the sizes at Morgan amaze me. They seem to think that Britains average size is a size 8 or 10 and when you find a 12 or 14 it is completely skin tight. I like the designs that Morgan come up with but hate the materials they choose. Even if Morgan claim that they make their clothes out of this material to pass the savings onto the customer...

Advantages: A little Wales departement store, they have bargains in the sale, the coffee shops lush!
Disadvantages: Its closed down

...I am gonna have to do this one fast, but WHY DOES EVERY OTHER REVIEW ABOUT THIS SHOP DISS IT? It has loads of customers, has expanded over time, is very successful, and has one of the best coffee shops in town! Plus it's Wales' largest departement store! Who was David Morgan? David Morgan Ltd., is an independent store still owned and managed by the descendants of the founder, David Morgan (1833-1919). Born near Brecon, he traded successfully in Pontlottyn in the Rhymney Valley for 21 years before moving to The Hayes in 1879. The exterior of the store is much as it was at the time of his death: the interior has been progressively modernised over the years, particularly with the completion of the South Atrium in 1989 and the North Atrium in 1993. There are many deparetments to DM, many of these are in Debenhams... Read review
