New - Reviews on POE

That is what I would think, lack of entry could show no one enthusiastic. 

Being more positive, must work on a few more to expand the number of entries...

Thanks Vince, Ruth, Dave, and Edward for your fantastic reviews. It's greatly appreciated.
We have now put a 'latest reviews' link up in the main left menu so they are more accessible.

The question of whether the reviews should always be positive is much the same as the issue of comments on photos. It seems pointless commenting on anything if it is more or less normal to give 5 stars and say nothing which might seem critical.

Locations, like photos, have good and bad points. The opinions of the reviewer are their own personal views, and I would not be upset if others disagreed with my perception of a place (or a photo). The important thing is not make knowingly untrue assertions, or be abusive to any individual or organisation, which might lead to legal issues for the author or PoE itself. 

My recent review of the town of Reading is a good example. I have tried to mention the good and bad aspects of the place, hoping to find some redeeming features, but overall, I could not bring myself able to award it more than 3 stars.  Or perhaps I was over-generous?

Thanks, Vince,  for that vote of approval for my review of Reading. The traffic situation was a nightmare when I first encountered it 40 years ago, and it hasn't improved since. And yes, I could have put you right about the Abbey ruins, but you got a few shots in as I remember.
