Advantages: You can buy a car Disadvantages: You will not get value for money, guaranteed
...Well it’s been a while since I worked for this manufacturer, so I think I can safely dig the knife in now. You all see the sparkly Ford adverts on the TV and some of you have probably been persuaded by those adverts, if not to buy a car, then to at least check them out. What I am going to do in this opinion is give you a little insight into the goings on behind the nicely decorated “Customer Facing Area”.
I will start at the start (for it is best to do things this way occasionally), I started working for a Ford dealer about four years ago as a trainee parts person. I earned the vast sum of £1 per hour and no that is not a mistype, that is the most they could find it in their hearts to pay me and they even offered me overtime at the same rate. Wow! What a big earner I was. Even the fully qualified staff only earned...

...When I was growing up, my parents had two great musicals on the same tape---WEST SIDE STORY and GREASE. My mother knew I would enjoy GREASE more than WEST SIDE STORY and when I tried to watch it, I wasn't really impressed with it, and all I remembered from it was it starting with an aerial shot of Manhattan. I wasn't until this year that I saw WEST SIDE STORY in all its glory, after I was recommended to buy the DVD by a very good friend. Some of my favorite musicals have been MY FAIR LADY, 1776, and the SOUTH PARK movie (weird collection, I know), but I was absolutely overwhelmed by the sheer power and energy of WEST SIDE STORY. And now I'm glad to be writing a review on it, as I tell you about the film---and the experiance I had while watching it.
First of all, I know everyone out there doesn't like musicals, but this is...
