Perfectly reasonable branch of a pleasant building society. Went the extra mile when we took out our first mortgage by sending a box of essentials – toilet paper, mugs, tea, UHT milk etc. – to our new house so that we could settle in before we started to unpack: nice touch.

Good-value pizza by the slice, pasties, sausage rolls etc. Note that there are two service hatches – one on Queen Street and one in the shopping centre – and sometimes there’ll be a queue at one while staff wait patiently at the other for you to see sense and take the shortcut!
@YodelOnline Suggestion: if your helpdesk closes while people are queueing, CUT THEM OFF instead of letting them pay until they get bored. https://t.co/zW1eBMfXDM
This review of Tower House originally appeared on Google Maps. See more reviews by Dan.
Reasonable conveniently-central hotel with good access to Oxford amenities at an acceptable price. Rooms slightly small and floors excitingly “wonky”: not for those afraid of stairs or prone to seasickness!

This review of Snozone originally appeared on Google Maps. See more reviews by Dan.
Having been skiing on ‘real’ snow for ~25 years, I was pleasantly surprised by the believability of this indoor artificial slope: slightly icy, crystalline snow but otherwise very much like the real thing. Better yet was the service: owing to an administrative mix up (slightly my fault, slightly their fault) I arrived anticipating an hour’s private snowboard tutoring – as I hadn’t snowboarded in 16 years – a full 24 hours ahead of when I was expected. Nonetheless, they sorted me out with an instructor and honoured the verbal agreement I claimed to have, despite what was written on my ticket!
Compared to an Alp, the slope is extremely short and the lifts painfully slow, but this gem of a site beats dry-sloping by a long, long way, and offer helpful friendly service to boot.

Worried that this would be a hard find but my GPSr sent me right to it. Nice hide. TFTC.

Heavy muggle zone this morning, couldn’t mount a proper search. :-(
This review of McDonald's originally appeared on Google Maps. See more reviews by Dan.
Just another McDonald’s. Generally fast service and not too busy, but limited parking space and access by car is made challenging by the narrow road – partially through a housing estate: no access from the dual carriageway any more – that provides access to it.
An aging real estate tycoon’s dementia gives him delusions that he’s the US president. We are that delusion. #AlternateRealityProblems
This review of Partyman World Of Play originally appeared on Google Maps. See more reviews by Dan.
Moderately small but well-constructed soft play with plenty to do despite being smaller than some of its competitors. Clean and tidy. Good mixture of food options (and a licensed bar!), although the pizza we had was very salty. Our favourite local soft play area.

This review of Sainsbury's originally appeared on Google Maps. See more reviews by Dan.
Perfectly reasonable supermarket. Car park sometimes challenging to leave at busy times, with tailbacks stretching into the lanes. Two convenient islands of self-service checkouts.
