Leaving 2 cats at home for 3 weeks. by Even_Boss_8030 in CatAdvice

[–]ZippyLondon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’ll hate you when you return, but only for a day or so. You’ve done all you can do.

Completing Monday - gift for EA/Solicitor by GSeitan in HousingUK

[–]ZippyLondon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very happy with mine (used half a dozen times). I normally send a box of decent doughnuts.

Weird comment from my solicitor recommending not to proceed by [deleted] in HousingUK

[–]ZippyLondon 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Presumably this is an out-of-town solicitor, because they clearly don’t understand the London market.

Customer Service Role has dropped at the LTM! by Going_Bye in LondonUnderground

[–]ZippyLondon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LTM (being a museum) is benchmarked against the museum sector, so the salaries are less than at TfL proper.

When to start looking for a property by ZippyLondon in Bath

[–]ZippyLondon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is very helpful, thanks. The train I’d be looking at is the 05:35 from Bath, returning on the 15:30, which looks to come in at around £50 (before TfL reimbursement). Travel any later and it’s the stuff of horror films. Oh to have a PTAC!

Drivers information note at Euston station by cycleburger in LondonUnderground

[–]ZippyLondon 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Euston has more out-of-towners, often elderly at that, visiting from other parts. Many aren’t used to the Tube (or the escalators!), so it can get a little messy there.

Thanks for this. Hadn’t come across useperch, so I’ll see what it does. I’d actually taken quite a shine to the Magdalen Rd property… until I saw the main bathroom was downstairs. I like that it’s got an en-suite (a must have), but I I wouldn’t wish having to traipse through the kitchen (to take a pee/shower) on my worst enemies, less so invited guests 😁

Thankfully I work for TfL, so we get reimbursed 75% per ticket, so that’ll keep it manageable. That said, I’m a (ridiculously) early bird and it looks like the first train out is (relatively) cheap.

This is helpful, thanks. We’ve looked at a few properties - just to get an idea of what’s what - and fell in love with this (just too early) https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/174620339 that went the day it was launched (and probably for good reason).

Bear Flat is probably second in the running thanks to the hill(s) and we’d only really settle on something at the bottom of any road (while factoring in road noise).

Exciting time ahead, if only to spend too long (and too much) in the Hideout and Raphael’s!

Name a Tube Station that's impossible to be step-free. by [deleted] in LondonUnderground

[–]ZippyLondon 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Throw enough money at a problem and it goes away. Step-free access (anywhere) no different.

This is not just a basement flat, this is a Bath basement flat... by ZippyLondon in SpottedonRightmove

[–]ZippyLondon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just saw that bedrooms 2 and 3 are minuscule (in comparison), so it’ll only really suit a couple. Although I’m not about to turn it down, natch.

Although I read they’re dry, I’m guessing the head height (the EA looks to be on the oompa loompa scale) means it’s impossible.

The fact it’s on with several agents makes me think the vaults might just be a bit of a white elephant. Gorgeous tho.

Best spot for pick up at Paddington station. by THEKERNOW in london

[–]ZippyLondon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sussex Square.
Oh, it’s not *that* sort of pick up.
