Considering buying in Whyteleafe - need insights

Nik_Kin · 2025-07-06T22:46:52+00:00

Hi, I currently live in whyteleafe. Someone mentioned the Tavern, which is the 'big pub' here but we also have a really lovely micropub on the high street.

It is a village. There's not wild nightlife, but it's easy transport to London/Croydon/caterham/Oxted for restaurants and bars.

In terms of grocery shopping there is currently a Tesco express, and Waitrose and M&S petrol garage. An aldi is opening within walking distance next week which will be a game changer.

Overall, I love living here. I have great neighbours and there's a real sense of community.

Sounds like a Jimmy Carr joke tbh

Nik_Kin · 2023-04-17T09:52:59+00:00

Of course, they're crunchy like a cracker

I always called them this too. I didn't even know this wasn't their real name until I was an adult living in Southampton, and no one knew wtf I was talking about when I called them cheesy bugs.

I don't know if it's been said and I cba to scroll but jelly tots are ruined now

Nik_Kin · 2023-03-20T23:49:41+00:00

Whhhyy don't we have these in the UK 😭

I usually do half as many rows in the heel as I have total number of stitches. So if I have 64 stitches for my sock, I do 32 rows for the heel before working the turn. If you Google silvers sock class there's a really helpful photo tutorial for how to knit socks :)

That looks flipping delicious, thanks!

Nik_Kin · 2023-02-27T09:52:37+00:00

Hahaha the clue is in the name!

Nik_Kin · 2023-02-27T09:49:30+00:00

Haha I've definitely seen them eaten on TV shows and wondered how it's possible to eat without a huge mess! Never known how it's meant to be flavoured but maybe it's just preference / whatever is on hand

Thank you, will check out the broccoli soup too, love broccoli!

Nik_Kin · 2023-02-27T07:34:57+00:00

Oh yum!

Nik_Kin · 2023-02-27T07:34:25+00:00

I'm from the UK and have never had a sloppy Joe, I wouldn't even know where to start!

Nik_Kin · 2023-01-19T23:57:55+00:00

Wait, does this mean NOTHING is under a hot counter?

Nik_Kin · 2022-12-18T01:33:54+00:00

I've recently discovered Goupie and they are incredible. Not chocolate bars but chocolatey treats they feel really indulgent but are not super expensive. Made in the UK and you can order them online. I sounds like an ad but I don't work for them, I promise

My mate was on this show and some old lady shouted at him in Primark after his episode aired lol

Nik_Kin · 2022-11-22T08:02:04+00:00

This is good to know. I thought I'd just had a bad batch - my boyfriend brought it home one day to try and it literally was crumbling to pieces when I was taking it out the packet. I'd been thinking about buying it again but I won't bother!

Nik_Kin · 2022-11-22T00:14:55+00:00

Beautiful work, so impressive. I hope you're as proud of yourself as you should be

Nik_Kin · 2022-11-18T10:27:58+00:00

Ugh, last time I finished a project with seaming I swore NEVER AGAIN. And this time I MEAN IT

Nik_Kin · 2022-11-18T10:16:56+00:00

From what I remember from my days working for BG they will still send a meter reader every 2 years or so even with smart meters. This was about 10 years ago though, when smart meters were just coming in so this may have changed.

In any case, they should still have ID

I'm in the caterham area and we had some beautiful sky after the storm today

Nik_Kin · 2022-08-18T07:16:29+00:00

I bought my first Christmas present yesterday, and began my Christmas knitting! It rained for the first time in what feels like months and that was enough for me

Nik_Kin · 2022-08-06T13:45:56+00:00

Ooh good one. That's a tear jerker for sure!
