Advantages: The best companion you could hope for Disadvantages: The breeding
This is a review about a breed of cat which I am pretty sure most people have never heard off. Even if you have heard of the breed I am fairly certain you might not have seen one either.
How this breed came about
-----------------------------------
Well in 1961 in Perthshire, Scotland a shepherd by the name of William Ross noticed the first Scottish Fold cat on record at a farm near Coupar Angus. The cat had ears which appeared to be identical to how an owl might look which were folded. He decided to try and create the breed himself.
He then took the cat to be registered and they began this breeding program with 76 kittens being born over a four year period. Out of those 76 kittens 42 of them had folded ears and 34 didn't.
The theory is that the reason they have folded ears is due to an incomplete dominant gene and is this is ...

Advantages: Big buttons, bluetooth, good battery life, easy to use Disadvantages: none for the price
I bought the Nokia 2720 Fold for my mother earlier this year. Having set up the phone and doing the inevitable demonstration and lessons, i found that the phone be more for its price rather than its features. However, for someone that wants a phone to be well more like a phone it is an excellent buy. Mum found it easy to use and once she'd actually played with it for a day or so found it not any different to her previous Nokia.
It comes with a basic 1.3 Megapixel camera, bluetooth, and fm radio.
The buttons were the biggest plus to this handset, with them actually being of a reasonable size unlike many other models available on the market. My mum is in her 50's, wears glasses and has multiple sclerosis and she still found them ok. A big plus in my opinion.
Overall i'd say for anyone without a big budget, that wants an entry level ...

Advantages: well maintained, good facilities, hacking in Trent Park, easy to get to Disadvantages: busy, disorganised, expensive
***Facilities***
Trent Park Equestrian Centre (TPEC) is close to Oakwood Station (Piccadilly Line) and also has plenty of parking. They have a large selection of horses (over 100) so can cater for various abilities and the horses themselves seem fairly happy. The yard is always being cleaned and the three schooling areas (two of which are under cover) are well maintained. There's a small cafe and other clients seem friendly. Generally, the instructors that I have been placed with have been friendly, enthusiastic and attentive.
***Riding Wear***
You can rent boots, crops and hats from TPEC for your lesson. They also sell a limited range of riding wear. The kit can be expensive, so I would advise you to perservere with renting if you are new to riding, untill you are sure you want to continue.
***Time keeping***
