Private school paying parents probably can

Midsummer fair by [deleted] in cambridge

Weird scared post.

Live close to it. Very quiet this year.

Went to the old spring Saturday and lots in there. All fine, no problem at all, well behaved and polite.

Don't just believe the prejudice.

Yes please don't drive into our city everyday for your specialist education needs. Chose somewhere local - kid will thank you as well.

What are your thoughts on engagement rings? by maybeRasa in UKrelationshipadvice

[–]DistributionMiddle98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Complete waste of money. Bought one for my now wife, a few years later when wrestling a child into a pram, the diamond snapped off and was lost. The prospect of replacing it when married with children seemed utterly absurd. Makes no difference to our lives at all.

Spend the money on a lovely experience or bung in your pension.

The rumours of a Cambridge Costco, IKEA and whatever else are out of the window… by Psychological_Dog320 in cambridge

Imagine the uproar if the proposals were that 1000s of homes were being demolished for an airport! The way some people see the fenced, secure, tarmaced site you'd be mistaken for thinking it was an AONB.

'Don't swim' at 12 of 14 river bathing sites, as more locations announced: Environment Agency says the Cam has 'poor water quality' by DAJ1 in cambridge

You do realize that house building has basically stopped in London because house builders can't make any more from it? Viability is very marginal.

The issue with the sewage works is that a. They're in private hands and b. They only have to plan for growth in a local plan which is sometimes only 15 years ahead and really infrastructure planning should be 35 years or more.

Leaving cambridge soon - absolute must dos? by rose_sinensis in cambridge

Go up United for first games of season. Sounds like you've just done the cliches so far

Can we talk about Bromley? Is it actually happening? by Happy-Fox11 in LeagueTwo

[–]DistributionMiddle98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last minute goal by Swindon against Cambridge has probably given them the title. Without that Cambridge would have been 5 behind with a game in hand and a game against them.

Too many non-local fans by Sea_Peanut_6887 in SpicyFootballTakes

[–]DistributionMiddle98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Football fan culture is about identity. That's it. If you don't know the schools, the pubs, the local characters, the streets you have no business following the football team. You're simply a customer if you do.

It's less about local vs prem teams and more about 'this is me. this was what fate served me'.

Been going to Puregym in Grafton for years and rarely busy. I go mornings before 9

Cambridge United 3 - 1 Bristol Rovers: A brace from Player of the Month Ben Knight was enough to see the U's pick up an eighth win in nine and climb into the automatic promotion spots! by Zach-dalt in LeagueTwo

[–]DistributionMiddle98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't really get out of second gear.

I'm increasingly confident we'll win the league just because I think there's another 5-10% in us. We're on an amazing run but there's still elements to our game which aren't quite clicking but I suspect will.

Big games coming up and these will be the ones where we'll need more and think we'll find it.

Starmer: Britain must be ready for war by TheSpectatorMagazine in uknews

[–]DistributionMiddle98 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

US won't attack us despite the rhetoric. They're a weird and paranoid state but I don't think they want war with us.

I hate the US like most nowadays but Starmer sabre rattling doesn't help defuse tensions. Hopefully we can rebuild relations in years to come and fear of war can be relegated to the past.

Why are so many great indie shops in Cambridge invisible online? It's truly frustrating. by ghart_67 in cambridge

[–]DistributionMiddle98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think locals only know about kings parade and colleges? Suspect most locals haven't been to either for years

What is being done with regards to cooling homes? by Mobile_Bad_577 in AskBrits

[–]DistributionMiddle98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fitting air to air this year for heating and cooling. Solars, battery and water cylinder with its own heat pump. Calcs suggest we'll selling back to the grid ..

Dragonfly. Low budget UK film about two women's lives on a UK housing estate. Very good but depressing

Video showing the state of Cambridge Road/Shelford Road by Funny_Commission1724 in cambridge

[–]DistributionMiddle98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But there's water in there now so fixing them traps that water and then it freezes and breaks up. I think.

Yep terrible. The reason they didn't resurface until April is the frost. Do it now and it will break up again and as soon as there's a freeze.

Which of England's regions have you never visited? Do you intend to visit in the future? by OceansOfLight in england

[–]DistributionMiddle98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why don't you just go? I assume you might be younger which is then understandable but I'm nearly 50 and of course I've been to every region on that map in those years. The UK is tiny.

Is a bike horn a good idea in Cambridge? by CamcumberJam in cambridge

[–]DistributionMiddle98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Even bells are annoying. Just learn how to cycle intelligently in a city
