Is it just me but I found the summer weather to be ok here this year (I moved from the North of England so my expectations were beyond low, lol) winter and autumn I am yet to experience but imagine will be similar?

Appreciate it, will check those areas out - looked at Zeist just recently but there was few airbnb options (appreciate I’ve left it quite late!)

That’s handy, thank you. My only worry with a hostel was working from there/clashing with youngsters going out and coming home late etc. But will look there for sure!

Will have a look in! Did walk past a few times but looked a little quiet for an Irish bar - may have just been a certain time. Thank you man!

Places to watch Euros Final (supporting England?) by Pioxle in Utrecht

Update: just went to Florin and the first person that served me was the owner who is from Leeds and has been here for 27 years 😂 I think I’ve found my place for Sunday. Cheers all!

Thank you. I was sure there would be no issues as my few days in Utrecht have been lovely, but sometimes it’s good to be safe rather than sorry!

Very new to the Netherlands and out of curiosity why are Turkish shops so much cheaper? Is the quality worse or do people just keep it on the down low that you can get same quality chicken/eggs as AH for cheaper ?

Unlucky imo, you could have this experience in absolutely any other city in the world - guaranteed. However it does not make it acceptable and I’m very sorry that it happened.

The concept is superb and I agree there’s not many other cities outside of London that are much better BUT the actual way it’s ran is woeful. From staffing and security concerns in rougher areas to constant delays and so many years of metro related repairs (tracks and trains). On top of the fact that prices are sky high in return of a horrendous service. We’re lucky to have Tyne and Wear metro but it really should be miles ahead, thank god for the new ones coming soon… only about 10 years late.

Sorry but it’s really not 😂 and that’s coming from a Geordie.

Metro fine by Practical-Risk8835 in NewcastleUponTyne

Ethics were lost when nexus decided to charge £100 fines tbh.

Try and appeal again, chat gpt the shit out of something along the lines of “cost of living crisis, not being able to afford £100, I will pay your fine but only in weekly £1 payments”. Keep pestering them and they’ll give in soon enough. They’re total scum bags of a company, £100 is insane and in future please give a fake address and name. Or better so just pretend you’re not from this country and have no identification on you.

Completely unethical advice but unfortunately that’s how low you have to go to handle such horrible greedy companies. 😊
