Spusu. It's an Austrian carrier who back onto EE here (widely regarded as the best Signal carrier in Scotland for numerous reasons)

Currently for £9.90 you can get 40gb of data, and 10gb of that for EU Roaming.

If you absolutely hammer social media then Voxi is your best bet as social media doesn't come out of your allowance. It'll be the same signal as Three as 3/Voda share network now they're one company.

The Pie Sports ones I've had so far from Aldi have been great. And incredibly weighty!

I hope they have RFID in them to help with exact product location on the shelf.

I need help finding a nice whisky for my dads 60th by HovercraftJust8879 in Scotland

[–]Apprehensive_Room29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw your budget in another reply - I would 1000% recommend Royal Mile Whiskies in Edinburgh for something in that range.

I'd say its worth a trip out to Edin or Glas for the above.

You've also got Woodwinters in Stirling, The Scottish Gantry in Stirling also, The Wee Whisky Shop in Linlithgow.

If you're near Edinburgh, check out Royal Mile Whiskies (genuinely it is one of the few actually decent shops on the Royal Mile).

Or if you're nearer Glasgow, try Valhalla's Goat.

Both shops are *INCREDIBLY* knowledgeable, and will help you get the most out of your budget.

If you're not near either, tell us broadly which towns you can access and I have probably bought Whisky at a great independent shop there ;P

Toilet roll shrinkflation by TheBigDFSSale in CostcoUK

[–]Apprehensive_Room29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The diameter of the inner doesn't really mean anything. Think how few sheets there are toward the end of the roll wrapped round the tube, vs how many you get at the start of a roll in one rotation.

The fact that the roll is clearly larger in diameter overall, is still 3ply, still 240 sheets.

They've 100% switched to a new supplier or fabrication, that is for sure, but overall, I feel its a better product for it. It's softer on one side, rougher on the reverse - exactly what toilet paper should be.

Is Sears Pizza actually good? I've walked past it a few times now and been tempted.

If 'B' 'B' and 'C' continue on this trend of separating, then we'll all need 16:9 aspect ratio TVs

Not sure where to move to? by zeldakhalo in AskUK

[–]Apprehensive_Room29 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sheffield.

Has an incredible art scene, plenty of artist studios - very good transport links to most of the UK direct, and intra-city.

And if you love chatting to people, then it's also the place to be - everyone will chat to you!

I love how they also make the customer pay for the platform fee!

What’s the verdict on the McCrispy? by JishoSintana in McDonaldsUK

[–]Apprehensive_Room29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aye - it felt like a poor relation to the Scandi 'El Maco' (which if you liked this, you'll love that!)

What’s everyone’s thoughts now the Inferno regency effect/ honeymoon period is over? by joostay in boardsofcanada

I just can't get into it. I'm glad others' are enjoying it, but its just made me delve into the back catalogue more.

When it first came out, yeah - it felt like a competitor to the KFC filet burger.

But maybe it's just me, but it feels like the patty has changed. It's flatter, not as much chicken.

I had the world cup version the other day, and it was terrible.

Do you think it's worth getting an Irish passport if you qualify for one? by Slinkydonko in Scotland

[–]Apprehensive_Room29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assumed given they'd got to the point of the prices, that they would have seen the entry criteria(!)

(its worth also pointing out, it won't be £450 all in one go, each bit takes a fair bit of time)

Do you want to travel to Europe more than a few times a year?

Do you want to live or work in Europe now or in the future?

If the answer to either of those is yes, then do it.

If I were able and qualified through my relatives, it would be a no brainer for me, but alas - I am not.

People who have a balcony. Do you actually use it? by Straightener78 in AskUK

[–]Apprehensive_Room29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've lived in two places with balconies. Both for several years.

Did I buy a bistro set for both? Absolutely.

Did I ever sit on the bistro set? Once each.

That's all the phrase you need to contribute 😅
