This green unpleasant land
Article Abstract:
Many people regard London, England, as being a vibrant, exciting place. However, it is possible to argue that this not the case at all. Some people feel that this city has a very miserable atmosphere, and that living there brings many frustrations. It can also be argued that life in the countryside has significant disadvantages too. Rural villages may look attractive, but in fact life there can be boring, especially as there are often very few sources of entertainment. Cities may in fact offer a more comfortable way of life.

The biggest noise in amps
Article Abstract:
Marshall is a company that produces amplifers in Bletchley, England, and it is owned by Jim Marshall, who is 76-years-old. The company's products have become famous since they have been used by well-known rock stars such as Jimi Hendrix. A Marshall factory was opened in 1964, after Marshall had developed an amplifier based on what musicians told him that they wanted. The company has 215 employees, and has been affected by a rise in the value of pound sterling as well as a reduction in musical instrument sales worldwide.

Life in the bus lane
Article Abstract:
Coach travel has a poor image in the UK, being regarded as a downmarket alternative to train travel. Those who travel by coach must be prepared to spend a long time sitting very close to strangers, and this can be a disturbing experience. However, there can also be some advantages associated with travelling by coach. Passengers are able to see the towns through which they pass in considerable detail, and coach travel is in most cases cheaper than travelling by train.
