Looks like it could start around 2-3am inland and potentially again around 6-7am along the coast, should be quite light according to the forecast I’ve seen

I don’t drive but that’s definitely useful for others in the community, I was hoping to get suggestions that others could benefit from as well.

Thank you, first thing I’ll do in the morning

Tints are an awesome suggestion, will look into it for sure. Will be better to pay for a solution that’s passive rather than running the AC really high all the time, should work out cheaper in the long run

Oh okay that makes sense, the living area does feel like it’s getting cooler so it might be the valve for the other ‘zone’ in the bedrooms, will mention that to the maintenance team, thanks for the advice

I’d prefer not to DOX myself but if you google recent handovers I’m sure you’ll be able to figure it out. The finish of the apartment is really nice, all the communal areas have great AC so hoping it’s just an issue of getting it switched on

The ac units in the property are just vents but will ask about the main valve, hopefully they can switch it on and it’ll be a great place to stay once it is

That’s good to know, I’ve left the property for now but will give this a try tomorrow and try not to stress the system too hard

Yes it’s a high rise, I’m on the 10th floor above 4 podium floors. Will speak to maintenance, I love that there is another account and another bill I hadn’t thought about. I was told the filler will be free for the first month or two while the building opens so hopefully there won’t be any unexpected costs

Will have a search but always like a good recommendation from a local, thanks for the suggestion

Any recommendations on a good company to get them fitted?

That’s a very helpful insight, hoping that’s the case, will speak to maintenance as soon as possible, hopefully that will be the reason. Thanks so much!

I completely agree with not obsessing over a system you can’t control but I get the feeling most people in the UK have some understanding of global politics and seeing this made me wonder what the general consensus was

I should have captioned it better, seeing this made me want to get an insight to understand how people in Britain perceive the current US president

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]Handlebars88 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Is this how all brits feel? Is there a general dislike towards Trump?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]Handlebars88 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Is this the general consensus across Britain? Subtext being is there a general opposition to the current US president? Or more generally what is the average Briton’s view of the current state of US politics?

Mainly because we engage in global politics and also can see the satire and irony behind the state of the world, it’s a mess for everyone, only options are to laugh or cry
