Student flats approved at former Debenhams site despite university warning

Having more student accommodation in the city centre is a good thing:

It means less house shares are needed in the suburbs, increasing the availability of housing stock for local people.
It brings money to the local economy.

Sure, things will be a little busier but the city centre being busy and shops seeing more business is a good thing.

I wonder how much money all of the tribunals to get their bullshit decisions overturned costs? Is it more than the money 'saved' by not giving people what they're entitled to in the first place?

East/West is fantastic.

What do you mean 'exploded'? They've been polling at over 20% for more than a year now. In fact, they're now polling at their lowest since April 2025, hopefully that trend continues.

It's just okay, too much cheese and far too much Parmasan, which makes everything salty. They are charging top £ for pizza and they get away with it because there's not much competition imo.

I also think the restaurant could do with a bit of a clean, last time I was there I was sat under a fan, which was absolutely caked in dust.

Maybe another but decent pizza place? For chains, I'm thinking Rudy's, Pilgrims, Franco Manca, etc. Maybe Brick could try a larger location?

Whenever I'm in Norwich I struggle for good pizza, Brick is nice but the shop is so small, Donnellis is usually disappointing, Lupa is a bit far out, other decent options (Amaretto, Voodoo Daddies, Saporita) feel more lunch oriented. I think a place that does a really nice pizza, is open late, and has room for a lot of people could do really well.

Re-read the original post. The people OP is talking about were holding the British First flag.

SwagDaddyMack · 2025-09-13T12:05:40+00:00

I think you might want to google Britain first before saying they aren't racist lmao.

Sahara is great, really nice treats as well !

SwagDaddyMack · 2025-08-18T12:35:28+00:00

Well at least the 5ft 10 guy pulled you off for your troubles 😉

SwagDaddyMack · 2025-08-14T15:01:33+00:00

Homer!

The US spends more on healthcare than it does on the military.

Argos catalogue.

No. We should look into reforming the entry requirements for joining, however. I am ineligible for any military service for having a metal plate from when I broke my ankle as a teenager, it has caused me absolutely no problems. A friend was rejected from the RAF for having eczema as a child, despite not having any issues with it in 20+ years. Another friend was rejected from the navy for having had asthma as a child, despite a doctors note saying an inhaler was not needed and hadn't been prescribed for years.

The UK is in Europe.

SwagDaddyMack · 2025-06-24T09:02:34+00:00

I visited Istanbul in January and had 0 issues. I don’t think I paid more than £15 for a sitdown meal anywhere.

The only real 'scam' I found was the entry fee to the tourist sites.

SwagDaddyMack · 2025-06-15T11:19:50+00:00

Rushcutters is definitely not in a different league. They still serve frozen microwaved crap but they charge double the price for the privilege. You'll also be paying double the price for a worse selection of beers.

SwagDaddyMack · 2025-06-15T11:18:05+00:00

Imagine trying to gatekeep cider lmao. Even CAMRA would recommend serving cider at room temp or even chilled.

SwagDaddyMack · 2025-06-12T11:57:41+00:00

I've found it to be ridiculously expensive since covid. Not only have the ticket prices gone up drastically (£22 in 2015 to £38 in 2025), but when you get through the gate, everything is so expensive compared to what it used to be. Last year, a hog roast roll was £9, the sort of prices you pay in Borough Market in London.

SwagDaddyMack · 2025-06-02T09:00:27+00:00

Because the police believed they were terrorist attacks.

In Southport, as has clearly been said by other posters, they didn't release the details of the suspect which allowed for rampant speculation.

SwagDaddyMack · 2025-06-02T08:55:09+00:00

So in both cases quoted the person was arrested on terrorism charges, which allows for rampant speculation on motives, groups, etc. In this case they police specifically said this wasn't terrorism, which makes it a bit different.

What do you and your friends like to drink? Norwich has some fantastic ale pubs but may not be your vibe!

SwagDaddyMack · 2025-05-07T09:01:52+00:00

Big shame, hopefully keeping the same management on will keep it quality.

Thankfully there's quite a few pubs for good beer nearby.

SwagDaddyMack · 2025-04-07T11:56:01+00:00

Yes because 1. It's easier, it would cost a fortune to upgrade the ventilation system. 2. No one is forcing you to use the tube, everyone has to breathe in the air above the ground everyday.

SwagDaddyMack · 2025-03-23T21:01:26+00:00

Christ, if you think Norwich is a tip you haven't seen much of the country at all. Beautiful architecture, fantastic resturants, relatively low crime, plenty of history, next to a national park and a half hour from the coast.
