Review of easyJet


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Great easyJet holiday.

I’ve just recently been on another easyJet holiday and I can’t thank them enough.

I recently went to Lanzarote when I had an amazing time, but easyJet made it easy.

I had great on time (Early) Flights, In clean, new quiet Airbus aircraft which makes the journey more pleasant.

We had great crew both ways who are not robotic and have a laugh and treat you as a human.

The drop off and pick ups were on time and allowed extra time at the airport for the new EES system.
I can’t say I wasn’t worried as while in the hotel, another family was being picked up quite late (Not an easyJet Holiday, but a rival) and they were extremely worried in thinking they were going to miss the flight.
Infact there flight was over an hour delayed as they was still checking in while I was at the airport stress free and just waiting for our flight to arrive.
The early pickup prevented me worrying in what I had been seen on the news about the new EES which let’s not even go there. easyJet made changes for the early pick up and I received 3 days notice to ensure I knew what was happening.

I can honestly say, I have been and already booked for my next holiday with them.
I didn’t even look at others as 23Kg luggage and the service I got is what I like.

You honestly have a winning formula, please don’t change it.

Thank you.

Truly Amazing at Diveworld

Well what can I say, but massive thank you to Diveworld and there wonderful team for all there support, expertise and training over the last few months to me to becoming an Advance Open Water Diver Scuba Diver.

I honestly can’t praise nor thank the team Ellie(My fav 😆), Steve (2nd fav😆) and of course Brad who is (3rd Fav), but we won’t tell him that lol. But I also can’t leave out Louise, as chatting to her, doing my OpenWater is where it all started, so she really is Queen Fav 😆

But seriously. They are all brilliant, every one of them. They have all taken me under their wings, guided, supported, offered great advice and trained me to where I am today.

The one thing you will take away is that nothing is too of a problem for them.
In doing the Dives and Courses, I had to make a few changes over the months due to Ear Infections then holidays and so on, but everything was rescheduled and sorted out with ease. No pressure, no stress, no worry.
They always go out of their way to try and find a solution to make it happen.

I’ve also recently purchased my new XDeep wing from Diveworld, but what helped me, I was able to try other Wings, BCD’s while diving with them to find the best one for me. Again nothing is too much of a problem and both Steve and Louise or the team offer advise and support, not to just sell you something, but to get the best in what is right for you because they know you.

The one thing I and everyone else always takes away from diving with them and is that your part of the Diveworld Family

I can not recommend them enough and thank you so much.

Thanks Darren.

Amazing holidays, great service

I’ve been on 3 EasyJet Holidays this year and
I could have not wished for anything better,

The EasyJet app and website are a breeze and makes life easy in searching, changing dates and just viewing the best prices etc.

Lots of choice of both flights, locations and hotels.

Easy Jet flights have been superb, and I love that I can get a £10 voucher to spend on food and drink while on board for £8.
23kg is a fab and the modern airbus neo I’ve flown on. Are quiet, comfortable, light and feel roomy compared to other aircraft.

I’ve already booked 3 mor holidays with them and I know I will be booking more in the near future.

Review of Diveworld


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Amazing Dive School

I’ve always wanted to try Scuba diving and with any new interest / hobby, it can be somewhat daunting and nerve racking.
I had done many hours of research and reviews and chose Diveworld in Sheffield and I’m so glad I did.

What I can say is that on first entering the shop at Diveworld, I knew there and then after chatting with Louise and then Steve it was not just a dive shop etc, but it’s a dive family and your part of that.

I felt so much calm, ease and felt at home and like I’ve known them for years. After chatting, getting to understand more they came up with the best way to start my journey.

I did a number of club nights at Pondsforge and then went on to proudly achieve my Open water and Drysuit speciality dive courses.
I had such an amazing 2 weekends, 1 of which is at Capenwray of completing the courses, scuba diving and Learning huge amount as a whole.

Both Steve and Louise and the whole Diveworld team are truly amazing and you could not wish for anything better.
Everything is explained in detail, your looked after, supported and they are there 100% of the way.

Steve, Louise and team are there to give you the best start and continue you to support, train you in your Scuba Diving journey.
There years of expertise, scuba diving knowledge, advice and support is priceless.
You can also see the passion and time they put in and genuinely love what they do.

The Diveworld shop is also a great way to buy what you need for any Scuba Diving needs.
What they sell is what they have tried, tested and use.

I can’t wait to continue my Scuba diving journey and I’ve already signed up for my next 3 adventures with them and I know there will be more to come.

Review of Metro Bank


Rated 3 out of 5 stars

It’s ok, but not revolutionary as people are saying.

After recently opening a current account, I needed to activate my card once received as there are no branches near me at all. After 2 departments and 45 mins of holding, finally some person answered and eventually activated it once she understood what I wanted.
Service was ok, but not great.

There are lots of improvements needed especially over the phone. I can’t believe that you have to go into the branch to do a current account switch transfer.

Metro bank app isn’t amazing like people are saying it is. You can not do many things on it. Can’t delete direct debits or payments I’ve set up, Can’t pay in cheques. The app is basic compared to some banks.

One saving grace and the only reason for 3 stars was I visited Manchester branch after 90 min drive. And the Manchester branch are superb. Very warm and welcoming. Couldn’t do enough for you.

But other than that. There are lots of improvements needed, especially when you don’t have a branch near by, your very limited.

Review of Hive


Rated 4 out of 5 stars

HIve for a year review.

I’ve had HIve for over a year now and I think HIve is a great all rounder. It’s been 100% reliable and has all the functionality that you need to be able to use the HIve Items associated with it. I have the plugs, sensors, heating, and camera.
Always great customer care when I’ve called, very helpful and no issues at all.
There are however some improvements that I think could be done better with HIve. The Timings on the HIve app. I have to put a off time the. On time then off time and so on. To me this is long winded and there is a much easier soloution .
If no times are in then it’s off. If I put a time at the start than it’s on until I put a 2nd time to turn it off.
I should no have to put time off from to on, then a time on to off. 4 times is stupid and it makes it so complicated to use.
The other parts of the app however are it self is very good and well thought out, updates and new features come regular.
Need to add more Bulbs, ie candle, golf bulbs and so many more. I don’t have GU10, Bayonet or Screw ones, so none are any good.
More items need to be added as well, HIve see, slowmit brining out things, what they do however are extremely well built and work.
My only other concern is cost. Items are not cheap. Plugs are £39, Other brands are much cheaper and work the same all be it a different app.
I do like HIve a lot, I just wish the cost for things would be cheaper to purchase and more items are realised.

Superb Communication, Great Prices

First time I've ordered and everything went superb I have to say. Was sceptical but will def order again. Great communication from start to finish. DPD delivered when they said they would and product was well boxed and well packaged.
Excellent service from start to end and I will def order again.
Thank you.
