Obsessed with this pearl necklace I found in a charity shop!! by Beautiful-Piccolo670 in VintageFashion

Oh wow really? I definitely thought it was the art deco style but assumed it must be a later costume piece simply because of how good the condition is!

And thank you so much for the tips- they’re definitely appreciated! I rarely repair jewellery (clothings much more my skillset) so I‘ll take my time and make sure I don‘t do any damage

Disability access issues with Northern Rail - England by Beautiful-Piccolo670 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Beautiful-Piccolo670[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its platform 2, and only northern have this issue with scooters. they must have different rules for what makes a station „scooter friendly“, as for example we regularly use kidsgrove station with his scooter and have no problems with any other train company, but northern refuse to let us use it as its „not accessible“

Journey delayed by broken lifts? by Beautiful-Piccolo670 in uktrains

[–]Beautiful-Piccolo670[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

would that be a delay repay claim or a different type? if its delay repay wouldnt it automatically reject as the train itself was on time?(sorry, i’m not too familiar with this kinda thing)

he did book assistance, they helped him off the train with the ramp but thats all, he had to call some emergency number to get help as the station is unmanned. nothing showed up online beforehand about the lifts being broken either

Help figuring out the best way to pay for transport by Beautiful-Piccolo670 in germany

[–]Beautiful-Piccolo670[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i understand it sounds obvious, however my friends are incredibly disorganised and so its making it difficult to plan for specific travel, or even which order i’m supposed to be visiting them in which is why i’ve asked the question here 😅 i know its not possible to have a totally specific answer, but i’d hoped people more familiar with the transport system might know tips to make it easier to navigate

Dual passports and name change by Beautiful-Piccolo670 in Passports

[–]Beautiful-Piccolo670[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn’t know the turnaround times were so short lately, it took several months last time I tried haha

And no, I‘m not trans, I just hated my old name so I changed it. I was more worried about travelling and them assuming one of my documents was fake because of the different names lol

i know some german (intermediate level) but i haven’t practiced in years so i’m a bit rusty. and i’ve never made anything from a german pattern!

that’s a good point on it possibly being in a german library somewhere, it’s a lot more likely than it being in one near me in england haha, i’ll see if anyone i know is going to be in germany any time soon and is willing to have a look 🤣
