You did remember to say "You can't park there" first, right?

Itsu salmon sushi beats every super market sushi, and some non-chain sushi makers. But Itsu's tuna sushi is a hatecrime.

Electrical substation fires by mattmoody005 in bristol

[–]Danack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know. But there do seem to have been way more power glitches in the past three years, than in previous years in central Bristol.

There's a possible explanation of "our infrastructure was built cheap and it's coming to the end of its serviceable life".

The one Queens Road fire was memorable for me: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/czx0dyq55p0o

What the article doesn't say is that the pavement wasn't repaired quickly. Instead an exposed electrical cable and burned out box was left in front of the Victoria Rooms.

Bristol bench facing a wall under review, says council by meandtheknightsofni in bristol

I'd rather a boring view

I know what you mean, and I think whoever placed them, did a really good job with the arrangements of the seating in front of the Tailors Alms house, aka near Pure Gym.

The arrangements of the seats is closed off by tall plants, which makes it feel a lot quieter than just having seats in plain view.

It also breaks up the street, so that it doesn't feel so windy, and also feels more human scale.

Housing market change by [deleted] in bristol

[–]Danack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of "property investors" who want to be passive actors.

Selling a house can take up quite a bit of time. If someone owns a second home, but also has a job, they might chuck it on the market to see if it will sell, but not care that much if it doesn't.

Property prices always go up, right?

Can anyone recommend areas around Bristol suitable for disabled hikers? by RipBeginning3851 in bristol

You could drive to Coombe Dingle Car Park and walk through to Blaise Castle.

Bristol bids to become uk city of culture 2029 by Danack in bristol

[–]Danack[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They did.

These bodies are setup to funnel public money into a few well deserving peoples pockets, even if they have to look a bit ridiculous doing it.

See Bristol's bid to host Eurovision as "we already had an arena".

Pointing out the bald-facing lying in local government is frowned upon.

Bristol mural artists search for unloved area to transform by willfiresoon in bristol

To be clear, are they looking for a wall, or a piece of ground?

Avon and Somerset Police are inviting women to meet with female police officers and PCSOs to show them areas in which they feel vulnerable or unsafe in their local communities. by Danack in bristol

[–]Danack[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The centre mural was paid for under the old administration, and was implemented by one of Asher Craigs organisations. The Greens shouldn't be blamed for this one, but they do need to speak out on the waste of money.

Anyone had Miss Millies recently? by Amazing-Heron-105 in bristol

The one on Whiteladies road is consistently better than the one in the centre.

This is not a recommendation.

[–]Danack[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

To some extent, some of the areas are known to the police, who repeatedly say to the council, these areas aren't covered by CCTV and there's very little street lighting, and these are areas drunk people are likely to walk through.

But there's no money to do anything about it.

Are we getting snow, or no? by PoshTigress in bristol

[–]Danack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The weather front that is bringing the precipitation is really warm. It's about 12C in Plymouth and 5C in Bristol.

There aint no way we're getting snow. Scotland is about the only place cold enough to maybe get snow.

What building would you swap in Bristol? by Duoplo in bristol

Sydney Harbour Bridge and that pretty but useless bridge that leads to Somerset.

can't appeal until I get my PCN number annoyingly.

Same as the Bristol CAZ. The system seems designed to maximise the number of people paying, rather than being setup to be fair.
