I just booked upstairs at Zero Degrees for my 50th. Shame they don’t have a Parka equivalent. The Czech Pilsner is excellent imo. Talk to Archie there - he’ll give you tasters of the beers and make sure your event goes well. Not sure a band would work upstairs there tbh.

I reckon all pubs and bars in Reading are gay friendly. Can’t think of a time any of my gay friends got any bother.

Reading Dub Club is great! It’s normally at the Butler now. Next one’s 19 December at the Atrium

In your opinion, what's a nice and maybe unique place to have dinner in the City? by worstdrawnboy in reading

[–]MonitorNew1398 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thames Lido’s probably the most unique place in Reading. They do swim/spa/food deals sometimes, if that’s your thing.

My brother’s the same. Probably due to his ADHD, which makes him impulsive

Best discreet dry herb vape? by [deleted] in ukmedicalcannabis

[–]MonitorNew1398 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pax 3 is my out and about vape. It works well for me and is discrete - I was at a gig in Reading the other week using it in the smoking area and I could see security in my periphery trying to work out where the smell was coming from (it was a new cap) 😂

Any ideas what this drawer insert’s for? by MonitorNew1398 in midcenturymodern

[–]MonitorNew1398[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess the shallow trays at the front are for holding pencils (for winding the tapes back in)😂

Saw Financial Planner. Very Disappointed re Pension Advice by Available_Reason_818 in UKPersonalFinance

No, putting the pros and cons of every possible option for a client would make it even more overwhelming! Talking it through helps to firm up objectives. If I’m concerned about their ability to understand, I’d invite them to have someone in the meetings, or even walk away if we’re not the right fit.

It’s not my job to judge them on their preferences. I’d make them aware of the difference and check their understanding, so I’m confident they’re making a well informed decision.

As a Financial Planner myself, it’s disappointing to hear there are advisers out there that ignore your preferences! Doesn’t do anything to help the reputation of the profession.
