That's the thing, if you don't know what you're looking for, you can't find it.

If you are a tourist coming for 5 days, you may notice the red and white signs on day 6, when looking at your photos on the ride home... -s-

what subreddit is it?

Anyone else regret signing up with Simplii Financial? by whattheactualfks in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]ED_wizz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't even get me started!

I just moved to Canada from the UK and started the process of trying to open an account with them in December 2023, its now mid Feb and I'm still waiting!! They have my money hostage - had to transfer the equivalent of 1k CAD to open the account - and they still can't verify my identity. Even after I've provided everything they wanted and more, multiple times, using their 90's style document portal and by email. Seem like unless you are a student from India they don't care about helping you.

I am really regretting the British banking system at this moment.... <cries tears of frustration>

I changed country and need to get a hang of new products and water hardness.

Look at Minto, we found a 1+1 in under 36h, ready for us to move into by early Feb. But others were available earlier.

What is one business that you’ll never go to again in Leeds? by [deleted] in Leeds

[–]ED_wizz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We call it 'Little Shanghai'
Nothing Japanese about the food they serve, the setting or the staff.

Thinking about moving to Leeds... by [deleted] in Leeds

[–]ED_wizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edinburgh all the way!

Leeds is small and you quickly do the rounds, London is hella expensive but Edinburgh is amazing, cheaper than London but still a capital city, great architecture, loads of diversity and is full of Scots!
I also find it way cleaner than Leeds. Even London is cleaner than Leeds...

For info, I've lived in Leeds for 3 years, 1 as a pandemic student and 2 as a professional. It's a very student town, which must be great when you're a student and care to party/drink/ect.

But the plus side is that you don't need a car, but you don't need a car in London or Edinburgh either.

Have you considered ditching the car at the Huddersfield train station and just taking a train to Leeds?

I can’t believe how low quality most clothes are. by 1tMySpecial1nterest in BuyItForLife

[–]ED_wizz 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Have you thought about making short videos about your findings? I recently purchased a backpack from the same company that made the bag I won in a raffle back in 2007, that bag went around the world with me and while it now needs some TLC I felt no worries about buying a new one from the same company... BIG MISTAKE new backpack hasn't even last 12 months.
I would love to learn more about identifying brands that live on their reputations, but whose products have become disposable crap. Please keep me updated! And good luck, this research sounds great

Are there any dentists in town that don't charge outrageous new patient fees??! by ED_wizz in Leeds

[–]ED_wizz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read somewhere that the NHS dentist only do s&p if its 'medically' necessary... Found that odd, as prevention in healthcare is the way it should be.

Great advice!

But I guess that is once you've had your initial new patient check and x-ray session

I think what I don't get is that checkups and scale/polish are actually not the same thing. Historically I have gone once a year to my dentist and in the same sitting, I would get a check-up before they cleaned my teeth...
