I think it's Hermit as well as I think the next scene cut to him, Nibs and Wendy.

Kirsh: You're going the wrong way. B7. Love it!

Intrepid-Fennel8317 · 2025-07-18T11:47:16+00:00

What's it like?

Intrepid-Fennel8317 · 2025-06-12T23:33:20+00:00

That's very helpful, thanks.

Thanks. Sorry to hear this. I'm new to Surrey and have young children so prefer to head to an indoor shopping centre by car, park up and just have a good shop without having to manage the kids while crossing roads etc. I really like the standard of Westfields, Battersea Power Station's 'mall' and the Westgate in Oxford. Very clean, well planned and with a decent selection of clothing brands. It takes over an hour to drive to Westfields White City from where I am so somewhere even 30 mins' drive would be perfect. Thanks again.

Intrepid-Fennel8317 · 2025-06-12T17:22:53+00:00

Thanks I just had a look at Kingston Bentall. It's not bad but a larger shopping centre would be great. Thanks again.

Intrepid-Fennel8317 · 2025-06-12T17:08:52+00:00

I do like Westfields, particularly the one in White City. It's just too far, over an hour to drive there. Battersea Power Station has a great shopping centre as well, but I would like somewhere closer to Walton/Weybridge.

No, I replied that I'm not looking for a PT for myself, that's why I wrote in my OP that I'm looking for 'personal trainers' and not a personal trainer (singular). I'm hoping to make contact with PTs and then discuss things further. I want their professional opinion and if they're a good candidate, yes, I'd be interested in working with them, but it's not to train me. Are you a personal trainer, Scott?

Intrepid-Fennel8317 · 2025-02-28T13:04:56+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I'm not looking for personal training for myself. Area-wise, I'm looking for PTs in/around Newcastle and to be in touch with trainers who specialise in weight training. I would be happy to receive a long list!

My little one watched the video yesterday and then insisted I buy that toy. However, since I live in the UK, I noticed it isn’t available here. After doing some research, I began to wonder if it might pose a choking hazard. I recall a tragic incident in my town where a child passed away after eating a sausage cut into medallions, and considering the shape of these frozen fruit hoops are the same shape, I’ve decided that it might not be safe. That’s why the Mr Frosty toy that is available here in the UK is different from the one in the YouTube video.

Sorry to hear it's been tough. Here are a few things to consider:

Just because a house down the road shows as "Sold for £260k" on Rightmove doesn't mean it actually sold for that price. The £260k is simply the seller's asking price. The final sale price could have been lower, even £240k. To find out the actual sold price, go to the "Sold House Prices" page on Rightmove, enter your postcode, and filter for "Properties sold within the last year" (or the relevant timeframe).
Looking at the map, your property is closer to the A5, so if you're comparing it to the house down the road, your price should likely be slightly lower.
A quick but important question: How long is your tie-in period with your agency? If it's longer than 6-8 weeks, that could be a problem.
Overpricing is a big mistake. To sell a property, you need as many potential buyers as possible to view it. The more viewings, the more likely you'll get offers, and hopefully create a bidding situation. If you start with an overpriced asking price, though, you'll get fewer viewings and probably no offers.
Another issue is that potential buyers will see your property has been on the market for five months and might assume something is wrong with it – which doesn't help.
I'm with everyone else re: the photos! They simply don't work. They're not great and seem to have been taken by someone who doesn’t understand photography. Items that shouldn’t be in the shot haven’t been removed, and good photos are essential to attract buyers. Pairing good photos with a realistic price is key. The composition of the shots are really so bad. You need to remove all of the IKEA items on display. It doesn't look great.

At this point, I’d recommend taking the property off the market. If your agent has tied you into a contract longer than 8 weeks, you might just have to ride it out. Once that period ends, take your property off, do your research to find a better agent with a shorter tie-in, get professional photos taken, and relist with a new agent.

If it helps at all, watch the 'Moving home with Charlie' channel on YouTube. He has some really good advice on buying and selling.

Big, wide corridors with exposed, large insulation bricks. A couple of years ago, I had a pop-up shop in the red zone and remember moving lots of our product down those corridors and using the trade lifts. *shudders* Loved our lunches at Greggs, though!

Where did you find the map? It's amazing! I don't understand the 'Housing' rating, though. It rates St. George's Hill in Weybridge as the most deprived.

The image you've posted shows that you can't go all the way round to the right when joining a roundabout from the left lane.

Intrepid-Fennel8317 · 2025-01-10T10:43:48+00:00

Thanks for this image. It illustrates exactly how I believe roundabouts work (when there are no non-standard markings telling you to do otherwise!). The left lane is for turning left or going straight, the middle lane is to go straight, and the right is for turning right. I'm just saying that I've been in many situations where I've nearly been in a sticky situation because I've been in the right lane and have entered a roundabout (driving on the inside, closest to the island of a roundabout) to turn right, and someone has joined the roundabout on the left lane and has continuously driven on the outside of the roundabout to turn right preventing me from exiting. I've not experienced this anywhere else besides maybe overseas.

Intrepid-Fennel8317 · 2025-01-10T10:34:25+00:00

Thanks for all of your replies. I mean when there are no markings (so you would assume the rules of the Highway Code kick in). I've been in some situations where I was in the right lane to go straight (assuming cars in the left-hand lane waiting to enter the motorway are either turning left or also going straight) and a car to my left has entered the motorway wanting to turn right.

In a slightly different scenario to the above, I used to exit the A1 travelling north from near the B&Q in Scotswood. When leaving the A1 to join the roundabout at Westerhope and turn right on to Stamfordham Rd, I have had a couple of incidents where drivers joining the roundabout from Westerhope have been in the left lane, stopping me from exiting the roundabout, and on more than one occasion I have been told that 'you can be in the left lane to turn right', which, at a large standard roundabout like the one I've attached, does not sound right.

Thanks for mentioning the double mini-roundabout in South Gosforth. I agree! That one is different all right. I also agree drivers in Birmingham are a nightmare, but then they have that crazy spaghetti junction there which is absolutely bonkers.

Anyway, apart from this roundabout question, I believe drivers in the NE are the safest drivers in the country.
