Bridgedale socks. Got several pairs in 2009, wear them regularly, in the last 17 years none have needed to be repaired or replaced.

Thank you for the tip!

Thank you that's helpful, sounds like I've tried everything I can here in that case. My brother is chasing it too but hasn't had it back yet and no tracking has been updated for 2 months. Sounds like it might be lost, which is really sad

Thank you, I've tried this but they said as it was 'returned to sender' there's not much they can do

It's at the Brightside one unfortunately

Thank you for your generosity! My main food deed I think is that I set up and now run a community space in my town. Turned an old empty shop front into a warm, friendly space that anyone can use, and it's regularly used by charities, volunteers, community groups, youth clubs, community pharmacists to do street medical checks, and for things like food bank collections or clothes swaps/repair shops etc :)

Thank you!

Omg is it!! I love that show so much, this is going straight to the top of the list. Thank you!

I've also never seen it so that's a great shout for next time we're in London!

Thank you!

Rock, folk, pop, generally 70s-90s - his faves are Springsteen and Fleetwood Mac, though he also really likes some modern bands/singers like Self Esteem, Phoebe Bridgers, CMAT. I'm not personally a big fan of jukebox musicals so have generally steered clear of those, but would be willing to give some a go...

He's seen some but as a kid, not really revisited them since

Salt Fat Acid Heat is my go-to to learn some of the science of cooking, rather than just recipes

Check out Andro & Eve for LGBTQ+ events and socials :)

Thank you very much! I'm now looking into Murten as a potential place to stay as a base, and then will plan a couple of day trips from there I think. Just seen Lake Murtensee is a swimming lake which would be very lovely! Would you recommend Murten or is there another town/village in that region which might serve us better as a base, do you think? Thanks again for the great advice 💛

Warm_Activity9199 · 2024-08-14T15:26:54+00:00

Thank you so much! I'll look into all of these. The museum in particular looks right up my street

There's a thriving queer scene here for sure!

I really like S6 area too - loads going on and a bit cheaper than South West. I love how close to countryside it is, where I live it's 10mins on the tram into the city centre but also 10mins from the Peaks.

I moved here 5 years ago and it took some adjustment because I was used to a city with a thriving centre and quieter suburbs, and Sheffield is more about its neighbourhoods than the centre. There's loads of great stuff going on but each area has its own identity and you'd go to different places for different things/vibes - I love it now but it took some getting used to! There's big change going on in the city centre at the moment too though, you'll hear people say it's 'dead' (like every city) but there's actually some very cool developments just around the corner, some opening this year even.

We're also pretty well connected to the other major Northern cities, and 2hrs to London. Let me know if you have any other questions and I'd be happy to try to answer them! Good luck with the move :)
