MAGPIE NEST BRIDLINGTON REVIEWS
My friends and myself enjoyed a fabulous weekend to celebrate the 60th birthday.
Your accommodation is superb and we were thoroughly impressed with your decor.
The 'extras' which you kindly provided gave the feel of a 5 star hotel with a comfy and relaxed home from home atmosphere.
We would have no hesitation in contacting you again when we next visit your part of the country and we are already singing your praises and 'putting the word about' to others.
With kind regards,
Cynthia.
We'd all like to thank you for making us feel special in your luxurious and elegant apartment.
Your website shows the rooms off well but the reality is so much better - we were well impressed.
We were lucky enough to have brilliant sunshine and feel refreshed and relaxed after our holiday.
Our happy memories will make us smile on gloomy days.
Thank you.
Best wishes,
Sue & Robin,
Steve, Hannah and Phoebe.
I just had to write to say what a beautifully stylish, well appointed and very comfortable apartment the Magpie Nest is.
We were all very impressed and said we could happily stay for much longer than just our weekend. We could certainly recommend this accommodation to anyone.
Thank you for your warm and friendly welcome.
Best wishes for your future enterprise,
Regards,
Sylvia.
Just to say thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful apartment. Although the weather was terrible it was a pleasure being able to return to comfortable and warm accommodation. Our every need was catered for and we would like to compliment you on your great taste in decor and soft furnishings, in fact I bought the same bedding whilst we were there. We visit Bridlington two or three times a year and look forward to staying at Magpie's Nest in the future.
Kind Regards,
Valerie and Barry.

Waterstones Still Performs Poor
In its latest set of financial results, Waterstones reported that in the year to 25th April 2009, both total and like-for-like sales fell by 3.8%, with full-year sales now likely to be about £543m, compared with £564.3m a year earlier.
In the 16 weeks to 25th April total sales at the book retailer fell by 3.4% and by 4.5% on a like-for-like basis. The trend therefore continues.
One customer reports today:
I have just been into my local branch of Waterstones in Colchester High Street. There was one member of staff serving on the two floors. The were 5 people waiting in a line with purchases. One gave up and put a book back on the shelf. There was no other member of staff anywhere to be seen. I was there to drop in a DVD sample we have made with a view to selling it in. I walked all round the store to see if other staff members were there. None to be found. After about 10 minutes another staff member came to the sales desk. If this is what Waterstone's have / are coming to then the company has a shortened shelf life.

Book Rabbit Closed: Same Day Books Closed: Methvens Closed
ArgentVive plc, formerly samedaybooks.co.uk, has entered into Administration. The Company appointed Paul Appleton and Henry Lan of chartered accountants and insolvency specialists David Rubin & Partners as Administrators on Monday 23rd March 2009.
ArgentVive has retail stores in Chertsey and Worthing. It also had an online portfolio including an e-tailer www.samedaybooks.com and www.bookrabbit.com, a hybrid social networking site which provided a platform for people who like the same books to meet, share opinions and make recommendations. The businesses currently employ approximately 30 staff. The Administrators are seeking a sale of the stores and websites as a whole entity, or individually.
ArgentVive initially comprised seven retail book stores and under new ownership acquired three internet businesses. It was unable to secure sufficient funding to invest in its various acquisitions and has been selling off these businesses since autumn 2008.
"The retail stores in Worthing and Chertsey have a loyal customer following, are based in prime locations and both websites are well-respected in the industry," commented Paul Appleton of David Rubin & Partners. "ArgentVive shifted its strategic focus from retail and, as such, a great deal of investment has been spent on the online offerings. With the rise in popularity of social networking sites, we are confident that the business has much to offer a potential purchaser."

PLEASE NOTE THAT WE HAVE NO CONNECTION WITH THIS COMPANY (ARGENTVIVE) NOR WITH THE WEBSITES MENTIONED. WE ARE ONLY FEATURING THIS NEWS AS IT MAY BE OF INTEREST TO OUR BOOK BUYERS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. Roger Crossland: Firstbookshop.com
