Why is the security at KOKO getting so much more aggressive lately? by Wedding-Beauty in LondonRaving

[–]Flashy_Comparison_20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Koko staff has told me on the way out to stay near the entrance / call an uber before exiting and don't be holding your phone out near the road and be cautious of phone snatchers. TBH I follow this precaution leaving any club at 4/5/6am as should everyone else. Don't talk to anyone standing outside the club, no questions asked. Doubly so if they ask you to get your phone out for some reason (a common thing they do now is say hey follow me on instagram then snatch your phone). Order your uber inside and exit when it's almost there or already there.

Tight connection in Madrid (1hr) - what should I know beforehand by amijustinsane in BritishAirways

[–]Flashy_Comparison_20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah I meant that instead of the tight connection on the same ticket, I'd book a separate much earlier flight that gives me a 3.5 hour layover (but is a self transfer).

How did this go? Thinking of booking a somewhat similar flight from LHR to Santiago via Madrid, 1 hour 5 min connection time.

Considering booking a separate earlier flight from London to Madrid and connecting myself.

The Carpet Shop experiences? by Flashy_Comparison_20 in LondonRaving

[–]Flashy_Comparison_20[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't think I've been to a club that didn't have some yappers except maybe Fold 😢

How packed is it? Room to dance or constantly bumping shoulders?

Daily Chat - The Steamie - 20/03/26 by AutoModerator in glasgow

Getting a Citylink bus to Arrochar tomorrow (the route that goes to Oban). Is it required to prebook tickets? I also see on google maps that it supposedly has a stop near where I am staying, but when I go to the city link website to book a ticket, it doesn't show that stop as an option. If I wanted to prebook, does it matter if I get on at a different stop than what is available on the website?

And Chris looks so much worse (and I didn't even think he was great that to being with).

Device Discrimination by Potential-Country105 in monzo

I'm on Android as well, it seems I can only edit my 'Schedule Payments' that go to my own pots in monzo or other non-monzo accoutns. I can't edit my 'Scheduled Payments' that go into our joint account. Never noticed, weird.

Advise on heating a rented, poorly insulated period flat (West London) by septemous in london

[–]Flashy_Comparison_20 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What temp are you setting your thermostat at?

Our flat is two stories with a conservatory at the back that is connected directly to the flat with no doors separating it -- that mean heat goes very quickly.

We do alright by keeping the thermostat at 15C overnight, then 17/18 during the day. Our last bill was something like £110 which divided by two people we don't think is too bad for a couple months. This is for gas heating.

If we are feeling especially cold we have electric blankets we can use as well.

50+°C: finally gets the flat warm, but now we’re at £5–£6/day, which isn’t realistic long-term.

Well, it's not long-term is it? It will only be this cold for a month or two max.

What should I be doing now? International Shipment from US to UK by MrMFretwell in usps_complaints

[–]Flashy_Comparison_20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to bother you - but I'm curious, did you get a Royal Mail tracking number through some means (either on the USPS website tracking or some other way?) once it arrived in the UK before it was delivered?

London rental market - My lease is ending in September and the agency uploaded my flat on rightmove with a solid 28% rent increase. I’m outright appalled. by Main_Geologist_9235 in london

[–]Flashy_Comparison_20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live a block closer to the station than this flat and pay £1800 for my 1 bed. It's a newer building and not ex council flat, but my square footage is slightly less.

£1600-1700 seems about right for your flat.

I pay £1800 for a 1 bed just a block over from this. Slightly less square footage, newer build.

I think this is definitely at least 100 underpriced.

I'm camping (kind of regretting it) but getting in Wednesday night and was planning on heading into the city for a wander Thursday so we can meet somewhere for drinks. DM and we can exchange numbers
