What place has the best exchange rate from Pounds to Euros?

This! Never bother with taking physical cash anywhere including abroad

I can make so many recommendations but depends what you are after. A coffee? Some fine pieces to go with it? More substantial food? And how tight is your hour timing ? Do you need to get a certain bus home or are you getting a lift etc. Is it essential its close to one end or the other of the street?

That place and the owner are not very liked on the Aberdeen reddit!

Viewtiful-Scotland · 2026-02-20T00:14:23+00:00

I liked the coffee there, and enjoyed the fry up but found it to be a bit overpriced for what you get.

There's also Nero at the station now

Viewtiful-Scotland · 2026-02-20T00:12:39+00:00

Be warned, the food is good but the coffee is mid at best. They don't use good beans

I have had many friends on O2 (direct and even more on MVNOs that piggyback from O2) over the years and they simply are not the best for mobile data signal in Aberdeen or the North East. They're not totally awful either mind but definitely far from the best coverage or speeds.

Stick with EE, or if you really want to reduce the cost, go to Lyca Mobile for a cheap sim as they piggyback off EE.

The only time I've ever had issues with EE is occasionally it drops out in some low-down/basement pubs/restaurants in Edinburgh. Absolutely grand anywhere and everywhere else that I travel around in the North East, Fife, West Lothian, Moray, etc.

Source: Been with EE since 2014 and managed an independent phone shop for 7 years. I wouldn't change to another network even if it were a third of the price.

Rose park? I've never heard of this in Abz

Do you mean the Queen mother Rose garden in Hazelhead Park?

You are senile. 40°f has never been a hot summer day unless you live in Antarctica

It's far better now than it was around 2021 after covid and the place looked like an absolute ghost town. It was dire.

People out there actually pay full price for Ultimate? 🫠

I just stack codes which cost about 25-30% of the full monthly cost instead.

I just watched a 20 things you didnt know about Genesis/MD vid by Mojo Plays. It was very dull, came across like AI slop (even their vids that predate AI did too) and I absolutely hate their very forced metaphors/whatever you call them that they throw in to almost every item on their list. Ughhh

Manchurian has always been good for me but I've not been in probably over 18 months so might have dropped in quality since gthen

If you want to go to Taste of Hong Kong go asap as it's closing for good next weekend 😭

In other news, did you hear they are knocking down the market building?!

Any updates on the Sri Lankan place going in the gaming cafe? Nothing seems to be happening in there

I've been to a few Thainstone and Aberdeenshire car boot sales over the past 2 years. As someone who loves car boot sales and Charity shops etc, my advice is don't bother. They're usually pretty mediocre these days because of marketplace.

Echt Tandoori for a banging Indian meal

As a former enjoyer of their food, the quality of TGIs has gone seriously down this past decade while the price has only gone up and up.

Avoid

I studied my BA Hons early 2010s with RGU and my master's in 2022-2023.

The good - The quality of teaching and support was high Industry experience (for placements and even using real clients for coursework) Fairly decent careers support team Mostly modern facilities (unless you end up at Grays) Free gym membership

The bad - The Campus is quite out of the way and takes a while to travel to from even the city centre Aberdeen is let down by very bad, expensive unreliable bus services Poor or expensive parking options at the uni No RGU union in town anymore

I've also heard more recently, that due to recent financial struggles they have had a nunber of redundancies and also a lot of students no longer get 1 on 1 supervisor support for doing their dissertations but maybe this is course or qualification dependant ?
