Dear Neighbours,

Welcome to Townlife Monthly’s second issue. What a month we’ve had, from officially launching the first issue of this commu-nity magazine last month, to distributing it. It’s been amazing to see how well received a publication of this nature has been in our community. It goes to show that Townlife Monthly has arrived at exactly the right time and we hope that as we grow, we will con-tinue to bring value to our fellow residents and businesses. Many thanks goes to everyone, especially our advertisers for all the support, comments and feedback that’s been offered about the magazine.

Now in our second month, I strongly believe that Townlife Monthly has a lot to offer both residents and local businesses. First we have engaging articles, great puzzles including the monthly Sudoku competition which everyone can take part in. We also have the community pages, which is a good resource to let everyone know what’s going on in our Town. We are fortunate to have some of the best businesses being advertised in this magazine, so I encourage all our readers to use their services and recommend them to other residents in Bridgwater (oh and please mention that you heard about them from Townlife Monthly Com-munity Magazine)

This magazine is produced and delivered every month to 5000 homes in Bridgwater initially with plans in place to increase distri-bution to about 7000 in 3-4 months as the magazine grows. We also leave the Magazine at pick up points around town, so if a copy doesn’t get to you, you will be able to find copies in shops & cafes around town. If you own a business in the area, you really should consider promoting your business through us. Our adver-tising rates are really good and at the moment, there’s no VAT to pay.

If this is this is the first issue of Townlife Monthly you are seeing, I would love to hear back from you with some feedback, which you can send to [email protected] or call me on 01278 588430. I also welcome any ques-tions you may have about this publication.

Hope you all enjoy this issue.

Regards,

Ada (PS: Got anything to say? Send it in. Pleeeeeease.)

I am one of the approximately 15% of British fathers who either opt or are brutally co-opted to stay at home to look after the

children (in my case a four year-old and a one year-old). And this means that my life is lived in a continuous, rolling dustcloud of chaos and confusion – BBC News 24 with extra screaming and wee (or Prime Minister’s Question Time, as some like to call it). Often I recall the words of a female friend and mother-of-three who said when she had just the one child she was a great mother – principled, disciplined, firm and in control. Life was wholesome; rewarding – a joy. Then came the second child and everything fell apart. She was suddenly and without warning (apart from, perhaps, the initial nine months) horrifically incompetent, out of control and useless.

‘What about the third?’ I asked, ashen and fearful. At the time of this conversation my wife was just pregnant with our second.

I’m just staggered they weren’t all taken into care.’

And she was right. One was fun; two is andemonium. The most apt metaphor I can think of for stereo full-time parenthood is juggling when you don’t actually know how to juggle. You throw your ball up into the air and then scrabble around for the next which isn’t where you thought it ought to have been so you throw another two up instead, but your first has had an ‘accident’ and must be cleaned before re-launch. While you wash it the other balls crash down in the sink so you dry them, toss them up and quickly grab the other seven which should have been in the air half an hour ago. You’re now feeling pretty positive – nine balls are up and you’ve even managed to put your shoes on, but now three are soiled, two are broken and four have disappeared completely. You want to flop down on the sofa and cry but that would make three of you and you’re not sure that’s the right sort of message to be sending.

But three quarters of an hour later you’ve now almost made it to the local park, where you are ignored by the groups of mums because they all fear chatting to you might be misinterpreted as a

sexual advance. But the sun is shining and your kids are happy and beautiful and funny and you’ve quite possibly got the best and most rewarding job in the whole world after all. Your son bounds towards you.

‘Daddy I need another poo.’

But he can’t; he just can’t. He only had one twenty minutes ago.

The other child is then sick all over her buggy straps and a proximity granny murmurs under her breath: ‘No socks in this weather, I ask you!’

But she had socks on earlier. Didn’t she? What’s she done with them? And what happened to her hat? And her trousers?

‘It’s coming right now, daddy.’

And it is. It really is. And the sun’s gone in and I forgot to buy bread. This article, whose subject I’ve not just had a chance to think about quite yet, is now six days late.

And counting.

House Husbandry House Husbandry By Seb Hunter Humour


U nfortunately, the British summer isn’t all it’s cracked up to be – and if the last couple are anything to go by, you may

want to think twice before stockpiling charcoal for the BBQ and slathering yourself with factor 40. With this in mind, we’ve put together a selection of feel-good reads for summertime, to while away the hours whether you’re outside in blissful sunshine or inside, out of the drizzle.

How to Lose a Husband and Gain a Life by Berna-dette Strachan Shere

When Ruby’s comfortable, high-maintenance existence is snatched away along with her hus-band, she soon learns that aside from his fraud charges, he’s also been keeping a mistress and son on the side. As her world falls apart, her friends pick her up, dust her down, and soon she’s back on her feet with a new business venture and an optimistic view on life’s possibilities. Easy, light-hearted and full of fantastic characters, this is a simple sassy read that ladies will love.

Stories to Get You Through the Night with an introduc-tion by Helen Dunmore

A comforting, soulful book that’s rich with classical, fantastic literature to keep you company on a hot summer’s night. From The Brothers Grimm to Oscar Wilde, Wilkie Collins to

Martin Amis, each tale is inspirational, moving, uplifting and delightful – embracing love, hope and the supernatural, to provide the perfect tonic to life’s hustle and bustle.

The Love Letter by Cathleen Schine

This novel captures the first flushes of love beauti-fully, when a feisty 42-year old divorced mother falls for a man less than half her age. Elegantly written and passionate, the chemistry revealed within the pages of this title forms the perfect paperback holiday romance. A delightfully sunny and guilt-free pleasure!

Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons

This brilliant 1937 classic parodies Victorian novels, providing a subtle, humor-ous read with a host of brilliant one-liners and unforgettable characters. Flora arrives on Cold Com-fort Farm, to find herself

amongst the strange and dysfunctional Starkad-ders. Taking each member of the family in hand, from the beautiful young Elfine to strange old Aunt Ada Doom (who hasn’t left her bedroom in two decades), Flora sets about ‘putting things right’. This comic novel is uplifting, funny and charmingly sweet.

Yes Man by Danny Wallace

Dumped by his girlfriend and slowly becoming a recluse, Danny is offered three words of advice on a late-night bus ride which transform his life: ‘Say yes more’. And so he does, to every favour, request and suggestion - and here we learn of the adventures which unfold as a result. Yes Man is brilliant, uplifting and awakening as to how the simplest of changes can turn our lives around.

Driving Over Lemons:

An Optimist in Andalucia by Chris Stewart

Ex-Genesis drummer Chris Stewart leaves Blighty behind and heads off to Andalucia – a rustic, rocky existence full of rural and remote charm. As an antidote to the author’s blissful world of discovery,

Chris’s wife soon arrives on the scene, loaded with a no-nonsense attitude and providing an unsenti-mental point of view which sets this title apart from other travel books. Ultimately, Driving Over Lemons delivers a lovely, affectionate account of their life in this beautiful place.

M any of us reach for food in times of stress, but if you find this is happening more frequently than ever, you might

have become an emotional eater. This means that, rather than eating because you’re hungry, you’re eating to calm your emotions. This can happen so gradually that you may not be aware that you’re eating when bored, lonely or anxious.

Feelings

Emotional eating is often fear-based and connected with low self-esteem. One way of finding out if this is the case is to ask, “What am I blocking out with this bar of chocolate/biscuit/cake/pizza?”

Why not try letting that emotion come to the surface without being judgemental? Very often, simply accepting the way you feel can cause the feelings to change.

Poor diet

Eating junk food depletes the body of nutrients. This can mean that you are still hungry after a meal, even if you’ve eaten until you can’t fit in another mouthful! Not only could you be left feeling unsatisfied, you could end up malnourished. Eat from a wide variety of non-processed food with lots of fresh fruit and vegetables.

Habits

If you can identify your bad eating habits, it’s easier to change them. Does your emotional eating follow a pattern? When are you most likely to binge? When do you reach for snack food?

Delaying tactics

Rather than reaching out immediately for comfort food, why not put some delaying tactics in place?

Before you open the fridge or packet of crisps, stand still and breathe slowly. Slow breathing helps to release tension. Have the phone number of a trusted friend close at hand, one who knows you’re trying to change your eating habits. Go for a walk. Walking releases endorphins, which is your body’s natural happy drug.

Genuine pleasures

During a period when you aren’t feeling emotional, make a pleasure list. Write down all the things you enjoy doing and can easily make into regular activities. When you’re doing something active the chances are you won’t reach for comfort food.

On a second list, write down all the things you’ve wanted to do, but haven’t got round to. These would be special treats – things to look forward to.

You could go for a day trip to the beach, visit a museum, see a musical or a play, treat yourself to a massage or spa day out, or buy yourself a beautiful houseplant.

You could also take up a new hobby, such as learning to play an instrument, take evening classes in language studies, or even a creative writing course.

Basically, breaking your old habits of emotional eating will require making a commitment to yourself. Acceptance

Planning your meals and shopping with a list will help you to avoid reaching for snacks when you’re not really hungry, but don’t beat yourself up if you slip during difficult periods in your life. If you find that you’ve fallen back into emotional eating, accept that it’s happened and forgive yourself. Remember, you need to identify the underlying reason for comfort eating.

J ust the thought of waxing can make even the strongest minded woman go weak, but it

needn’t be a painful option if carried out regularly and with good preparation. Waxing can leave the skin smooth for longer than many other hair removal regimes.

Waxing versus shaving

As we all know, the more you shave, the coarser the hair becomes, and it grows faster as well. In fact, the act of shaving encourages hair growth! On the other hand, waxing can remove hair for longer periods. This is because waxing pulls out the hair from the root, weakening the growth. When the hair does grow back, it will be finer and softer each time.

If you haven’t waxed before, you should wait at least two weeks after shaving before your first wax attempt. This enables the hair to reach a sufficient

length for the wax to grip.

Exfoliate first

As with shaving, waxing can cause ingrown hairs, so always exfoliate first to help prevent that from happening. The day before you are due to wax, use an exfoliating brush to remove dead skin cells. Brushing is the best method of exfoliating because some skin care exfoliation products have ingredients that can irritate waxed skin.

If all the exfoliating scrub isn’t properly rinsed off, it could leave behind harsh particles which react might badly with wax.

Get the right kit

Do make sure your wax kit deals with the right area, for example, facial hair, underarms, the bikini area, or your legs.

Picking the perfect camera kit for happy holidays

Happy SnapsHappy Snaps

Whether you’re going to Butlin’s or Bermuda, you’ll want to record your holiday so you can enjoy the highlights later. A good camera or camcorder is a must-pack - but how do you find one that’s perfect and portable?

COMPACT

Camcorders have changed dramatically in recent years, and current models tend to use memory cards or hard disks instead of tape or DVD. If you’re considering a hard disk-based camcorder, make sure you can expand its storage with memory cards: if it doesn’t and you fill the hard disk, you’ll need to delete some of your footage before you can record anything else.

HD If you can spare the cash it’s a very good idea to get an HD (High Definition) camcorder to ensure that the footage you film now will look good on the HD TV you’ll undoubtedly have in the future. Affordable HD cameras tend to offer a resolution (quality) of 720 lines, which is better than DVD, while more expensive ones have 1080-line resolutions.

HD needn’t mean expensive, although it’s important to be realistic: it’s possible to buy HD camcorders for £80, but nobody’s going to be selling hardware with good lenses, high quality sensors and decent build quality for that price. Expect to pay around £140 for a no-frills fun camcorder such as the Flip Mino HD that’s designed for creating YouTube-ready clips, or around £300 for a good all-rounder such as Panasonic’s SDR-H85 or Sanyo’s waterproof Xacti WH1.

We’ve left our most important holiday tips until last: shop around. Camera prices vary by an incredible degree – we’ve seen Sony’s high-end T900 camera for £419 in one outlet, but at £259 with purelygadgets.co.uk. Memory cards are just as bad: a SanDisk Ultra II SDFC memory card could cost you £35 or £89.99 depending on where you buy it. So do you research before parting with your cash.

The best cameras for holidays are compact cameras, small enough to fit in a handbag or trouser pocket but powerful enough to cope with all kinds of photography. Don’t let the jargon blind you, though. For exam-ple, while manufacturers like to boast about how many megapixels their cameras have it really doesn’t matter that much. Megapixels tell you how many millions of dots each photo will contain, and once you get past six megapixels more dots don’t make much difference.

Things that do matter include low-light perform-ance - look for numbers with the prefix F on the ring around the lens; the lower the better, so a camera that starts at F2.8 handles low light better than one that starts at F3.6 - and image stabilisa-tion, which can detect little movements of your hand and compensate for them, preventing accidental motion blur from spoiling your snaps. Optical zoom lenses deliver sharper pictures than digital zooms, and cameras with CMOS sensors instead of the more common CCD sensors tend to work better in low light and deliver longer battery life.

It’s very important to try different models out in the shop before ordering anything. Cameras that seem great on websites often turn out to have fiddly little buttons, feel cheap or flimsy in your hand or take forever to focus.

Many compact cameras can also take video, but they tend to be limited in what they can do: for example they might only record short clips, or they might not let you use the zoom control while you’re recording. For proper video recording, you really need a camcorder.

E veryone knows what

a generally easy,

rewarding and

versatile plant the geranium

( s t r i c t l y s p e a k i n g ,

Pelargonium) is. It is capable

of flowering all year round, if

grown at the right

temperature, and also

tolerant of erratic watering,

which is handy.

So attractive and full of variety are the well-known

Zonal, Regal, Angel and Ivy-leaved groups however,

that the aromatic-leaved cultivars, which tend to

have smaller, less ‘look at me’, flowers are easily

passed over. They are not as striking, on first

inspection, but they give lasting pleasure, once you

get to know them, especially if you like touching

your plants. Much as I love my ‘Lord Bute’ and

‘Appleblossom Rosebud’ pelargoniums, I would

never want to be without ‘Attar of Roses’, ‘Lady

Plymouth’, Pelargonium crispum or ‘Prince of

Orange’, either. I especially appreciate them in the

winter, when I recall the scents of summer simply by

rubbing their leaves.

Scented pelargoniums are not highly bred, but

instead are species or derive from species. Any

pelargonium with hairy leaves is likely to be

aromatic but not all have a pleasant odour, by any

means. But there are plenty that have.

‘Big Apple’, for example, has smooth, round leaves,

which are strongly apple-scented when bruised, and

small white flowers. ‘Attar of Roses’ has heart-

shaped, grey-green, rose-scented leaves and pinky-

mauve flowers. ‘Prince of Orange’, with orange-

scented, glossy foliage, has particularly large and

showy flowers, consisting of pale pink petals, veined

with purple. ‘Creamy Nutmeg’ has attractive cream

and green variegated leaves and nutmeg scent. The

well-known ‘Lady Plymouth’ has deeply-cut,

variegated foliage, and small

mauve flowers, while ‘Islington

Peppermint’ has most attractive

flowers with deep red upper

petals, and white lower ones.

‘Ardwick Cinnamon’ has masses

of small white flowers held

above silver-grey leaves. All

have an airy charm which is not

always evident amongst the

beefier Zonal geraniums.

Scented leaved pelargoniums are easy to grow,

provided that they have very good light and air

circulation, and are not exposed to any degree of

frost. Which means they can’t be left outside in the

garden or in pots through the winter. If you want

them to flower all year, however, you need to make

sure that the winter night temperature is 7 C or

above, which means either a heated greenhouse or

conservatory or, more likely, a warm, light

windowsill indoors. They can be planted out in

containers or herb gardens in the summer months.

It’s best to cut them right back to a few short stems

in late summer or early autumn, so that they carry

less leaf through the winter; this reduces both the

risk of botrytis (a fungal disease, ‘grey mould’, which

thrives in damp, cold conditions) and the amount of

watering required.

Scented leaved pelargoniums can get rather ‘leggy’,

unless cut back from time to time, anyway. The

gardener should also consider re-potting the plants

each year in the spring, preferably into a potting

compost with some loam in it, such as John Innes No

2 potting compost. (The ‘soil-less’ ‘multipurpose’

composts, which are readily available tend to dry out

more quickly, although they are suitable if you

cannot find a loam compost.)

All in all, it is hard to imagine a group of plants,

which give as much pleasure for so little trouble.

By hook or by crook – achieve

something by any way possible

This originates in Medieval

England when all forests were

owned by the king and out of bounds to

commoners unless they were collecting firewood.

They were only allowed to collect the deadwood

lying on the ground or branches which could be

reached with a shepherd’s crook or cut off by w

reaper’s billhook.

Caught flat footed – to be unprepared

This relates to horse racing and was used as early

as the 18th century during Queen Anne’s reign.

When horses line up at the start of the race they

are often light on their feet and eager to run.

Those who are slow to start and have all four

hooves on the ground were said to be flat footed.

By a long chalk – to win easily, way ahead of the

competition

Believed to come from the athletics or sports

world. Chalk marks would be used to indicate the

length of the throw (in the javelin for example)

and the winning throw could be easily seen. An

alternative origin could be when chalk was used

to make merit marks, before lead pencils were in

use, and the longer the merit mark the higher the

score.

The dog days of summer – very hot days of July

and August

This is an ancient expression coming from the

Romans. They believed that the hottest days of

summer coincided with the rising of Sirius the Dog

Star. Sirius is the brightest star in the sky and the

heat of the star combined with that of

the sun produces the stifling heat.

I ’m not remotely mechanically minded, but I spend almost my whole day in the garage. That’s because it’s where my

office is, in the garage. It has been, I should quickly reassure you, very thoroughly converted. The only traces of its original purpose are its dimensions—long and narrow—as a garage has to be, and the fact that the exterior wall seems to be made of tissue-paper, so it’s always freezing.

Also, of course, the window at which I sit occupies the space that was once a garage door, so I have a panoramic view of my street – or an arc of about 80º of it – from half past eight in the morning until about half past five at night.

All human life parades past me in a fascinating and never-ending round as I sit gazing out, not getting on with work as I should. And it’s never the same thing twice. Ministerial motorcades. Car-crashes and crimes. The carnival procession. And then there was the day the circus came to town! I was so rapt I didn’t even care when the elephant trod on my begonias...

All right, it’s fantasy. I live on a modern street in a modern housing estate on the edge of a working (ie not all that picturesque) village. My 80º arc reveals four houses exactly like mine: yellow brick, UPVC double-glazed windows, built-in garages with metal rollover doors – at least they’re all different colours – little porches containing downstairs loos with frosted windows, all with a bottle of bleach just visible on the sill. The only things that happen are that the pensioner down the street comes home from the newsagent with his paper at 9.15am (although oddly, I never see him going to the newsagent, just coming back), and at 12.45 sharp the guy across the road comes home from work for his lunch (although oddly, again, I never see him going back to work).

I’ve been sitting here for over three years. It’s no wonder I’m slowly going bonkers...

But actually, there is one element in my street-scene that holds the attention: and that’s the cats.

Our street seems to be overrun with cats. Not horrible mangy ferals, but sleek well-fed swaggering ones. I don’t know where they all live, and my own cat refuses to have anything to do with them. Perhaps that’s why they all seem to think that my front garden has been provided by the authorities for their convenience. And that’s convenience as in public convenience. Every time I want to mow the little handkerchiefs of grass on either side of my “drive”, I have to go round carefully with the dog’s pooper-scooper first. Because when mower-blade meets cat-poo – yes, well, I leave the consequences to your imagination.

But those cats are going to save my sanity. Because I’m going into town now to buy me one of those super-soakers, and I’m going to fill me that super-soaker with ice-cold water with maybe just a soupcon of vinegar in it, and every time one of those cats sets foot in my front garden I’m going to pick up that super-soaker and throw open my office window and I’m going to GET THAT CAT!

Hang on – did I just say: “those cats are going to save my sanity”? Depends on your definition of sanity, I suppose.

News from Sedgemoor District Council

BRIDGWATER CARNIVAL TEAMS UP WITH HELP FOR

HEROES

Bridgwater Carnival will have a military theme to the

2010 procession after forming a partnership with na-

tional charity, Help for Heroes.

The innovative partnership, which has been supported

and sponsored by The Co-operative Funeralcare, was

the idea of two local carnivalites, Alan Windsor and Jon

Aherne.

The charity provides support and assistance to armed

forces personnel who have been injured during com-

bat, and on carnival night a 150 seat grandstand has

been allocated to the popular charity so injured service

men and women and their families can watch the

carnival in relative comfort. Help For Heroes will also

benefit from the carnival’s street collection activities

and a whole host of military related ideas are being

explored by the charity and Bridgwater Guy Fawkes

Carnival Committee for carnival day and night.

Alan Windsor, club captain for Marketeers Carnival

Club, said: “John and I were talking one night about

how much Bridgwater Carnival related activities boosts

local businesses and charities, and we came up with

the idea of supporting Help For Heroes. So we con-

tacted the carnival committee, told them about our

idea and now it’s all coming together really nicely.”

Jon Aherne, added: “Help For Heroes charity do an

incredible amount of work for our injured service per-

sonnel and their families, and it is great that we have

the opportunity to play our part in helping and sup-

porting this wonderful cause.”

A VIP reception is being planned for the Help For He-

roes group prior to the procession, and this will be

hosted by members of the carnival committee and

sponsors, The Co-operative Funeralcare.

Mark Robson, Funeral Director from The Co-operative

Funeralcare, said: “We take our responsibilities to the

local community very seriously, and we are extremely

proud to be sponsoring a partnership between Help

For Heroes and Bridgwater Guy Fawkes Carnival. They

are two very credible organisations who both do a

tremendous amount of work in the local community,

and I’m really looking forward to the big night.”

Community Updates Sedgemoor Young Chefs Programme shortlisted for award

The Sedgemoor Young Chefs programme, run by Sedgemoor District Council in partnership with Bridg-water College, has received national recognition having been shortlisted for the Food Standards Agency Food Champion Award.

Sedgemoor Young Chefs programme is a project which provides 14-19 year olds with basic cookery skills, whilst promoting food hygiene and healthy eating knowledge. To date five programmes have been or-ganised, four of which have been funded by Somerset Youth Service and one by the Food Standards Agency. A sixth programme is to run this September.

The programme was considered after a case study was submitted to the Food Vision website www.foodvision.gov.uk which promotes initiatives that increase access to safe, sustainable and nutritious food and so improve community health and wellbeing.

The Food Champion Award aims to recognised and

celebrate authorities that have shown innovation and leadership in their work to improve food safety and standards locally, or to improve the diet and nutrition of people in their communities. A panel shortlist five projects which demonstrate work to improve food safety and food standards and five projects which demonstrate work to improve community diet and nutrition themes and the Young Chefs programme was considered for its contribution towards food safety. Each project was then invited to make a pres-entation to the panel on 28 May 2010 and the winner is to be announced during National Food Safety Week.

All shortlisted projects will be promoted over the forthcoming year as best practice at conferences/events etc by the FSA and Food Vision.

More details and application forms for the September programme are available from Anna Hardman 01278 435341 or [email protected]

A t their new site on Woodlands Court, Bristol Road, Bridge-

water St. John Ambulance Chair-man of Council John Roberts was handed the keys to the new County Headquarters by Paul Edwards, Managing Director of Roselea Properties, the develop-ers. Also present was Mike Hall, Superintendent of the Sedgemoor Division and Steve Thompson, Surveying Manager of Harris & Harris, the main contractors.

The new building will also be the Headquarters of the Sedgemoor Division and the regional ‘hub’ of the Commercial Training arm of the charity.

John Roberts spoke for all in St. John: ‘This is a truly magnificent building which will provide us with the facilities fit for a modern, up to date organization. Being the largest supplier of first aid and related training in the UK, it will provide us with state of the art training facilities for the thousands of people from all walks of life we train each year. It will also be used as a much needed Command and Control

Centre for the first aid cover we provide at functions across the county including all the carnivals as well as being a home for the growing Sedgemoor Division of volunteer members’.

For Roselea Paul Edwards added: ‘We are pleased to have helped St. John Ambulance create their new County HQ – it has been a

pleasure working with them. This building is the first on Woodlands Court and is a fitting example of what will be a very modern and functional Business Park’.

An official ‘grand’ opening of the building is set for September 20 2010.

Training courses at the new building will be run from July 5. Please call 01823 345921. The Sedgemoor Division is always pleased to welcome new mem-bers. Please call 01823 345920.

C ity cars for the past five years have been where it’s all been happening. Exploding fuel prices, a desire to be more eco friendly and

the credit crunch have all played a huge part in focussing the spotlight on the babies in carmakers’ ranges.

Throw in the cash conscious buyers the scrappage scheme funnelled into dealers and city cars became the bread and butter of most showrooms’ daily business.

But Chevrolet has set the stakes even higher for its Spark – not only is it charged with notching up sales from price-fixated buyers, but the manufacturer also hopes it’ll attract younger buyers into Chevrolet’s 93 UK retailers.

At first glance it certainly looks like it has the right credentials. That all important price starts with a six – and under the last of the scrappage deals, the network will be knocking them out for under £5k. That puts it in direct competition with Hyundai’s extremely competent i10, right at the sharp end of the list prices.

But remember the Spark has an ace up its sleeve – it’s got big screen pedigree. You may recognise it as one of the annoying twins from Transformers 2, although it’s unlikely it was the Spark viewers were lusting after the most. That accolade went to the bright yellow Camaro – but nevertheless, some big screen product placement in a Hollywood blockbuster will do the city car no harm at all.

There’s little doubt it’s been styled to attract more youthful buyers. Chunky bumpers, a cheeky ‘grin’ and smart headlights really make it stand out on the road. The back end isn’t as dramatic, but it’s tidy enough not to offend and the colour schemes are loud enough to match their target buyers’ taste in music.

Under the bonnet customers have the option of a 1.0-litre unit offering 68bhp or a larger 81bhp 1.2-litre petrol. Performance differences between the two aren’t dramatic – the former will hit 60mph in 15.3 seconds, the larger unit in 12.1 seconds. But surprisingly it’s the baby of the duo that’s the better car to drive.

Both engines are a little unrefined with engine noise intruding at higher revs, but the 1.0-litre is peppy and good fun to keep on the boil. There’s little low down

grunt, but keep it singing and you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Those diminutive engine proportions do wonders for fuel economy and emissions. The 1.0-litre returns 55.4mpg emitting just 119g/km and the 1.2-litre the same 119g/km while managing identical 55.4mpg. With no plans for a diesel – ruled out because of costs – these are likely to be as good as it gets.

The Spark certainly handles well and has been set up satisfactorily for UK roads. Our test route incorporated some badly potholed surfaces in Northamptonshire and it coped admirably considering its size and dimensions. Steering is accurate and not badly weighted, but can lack a little feel at times.

Other complaints? Well, the gear stick is positioned a little too far back and it’s not the most precise shift. And you can tell where costs have been cut inside as the plastics are on the cheap side in the base model and a bit tacky in higher spec colour-coded models.

Plus, we really couldn’t get on with the dash that seems to have been modelled on a child’s flight simulator toy.

Chevrolet SparkChevrolet Spark Motoring Review


But with that being said, it’s comfortable for a budget car, has a reasonable amount of room inside and a number of handy extras included.

As standard on the Spark + model, buyers will get air conditioning, electric front windows and central locking, along with a USB compatible four-speaker stereo. And that’s for £6,945. Another bonus is that

it’s got five doors, but has been styled to look like a three-door. This will appeal to the younger audience while not putting off older family buyers.
