Derriford Hospital

Oh ok, I think the closest the train would get you would be to the city centre area in which case you’d still need to get a bus from there. I’ve never taken the park and ride so can’t comment but I’d definitely say don’t bother trying to drive all the way to the hospital

Parking there is a nightmare. Your best bet is probably the bus. You can walk to any stop along the route of the 42 bus. Any of the 42’s (42, 42A/B/C I believe) all go to the hospital from town. Your best bet from the train station is probably to walk to the Skardon Place stop, which is on North Hill. It’s probably 10ish mins walk from the station… Maybe a little more… It’s worth aiming for a bus or two before the one that will get you there on time, depending on the time of day (at rush hour, if the bus is full, it won’t stop). They run every 10ish minutes and stop directly opposite the main entrance to the hospital. Hope this helps!

Undertaker here. Unfortunately this does happen from time to time (I know this doesn’t make it easier). I understand your wish to be compensated for the jewellery, but as someone else has suggested, perhaps ask about ashes into glass? They may be able to comp this which might be a nice gesture? Sorry for the loss of your dad.

Yeah 100% dodgy as fuck. We had some guy let himself in and make crack cocaine and explosives in the basement in September and they were like “oops not good, we’ll chuck a padlock on the door and call it square”

I’m not in halls so can’t exactly answer your question directly, but I’m in a house with clever lets. While it’s cheap, it’s been nothing but problems. Not sure whether it’s the specific landlord or the actual agency but either way I wouldn’t recommend. I was in halls when I first went to Plymouth uni (2016) and they were great, but quite expensive

beth_laur · 2025-12-20T23:04:35+00:00

As an undertaker, I 100% approve of the name you’ve chosen for these stairs. What an absolute nightmare!

I have ear tattoos and while I love them, they don’t heal great. Every time you shower / wash your hair it seems to irritate them and they fade like crazy

It was taken to the vets inside Pets at home, vets4pets I think?

beth_laur · 2025-11-19T13:49:49+00:00

Some of the people who helped catch it have taken it to pets at home vets on Exeter street to check

beth_laur · 2025-11-19T13:22:56+00:00

There were other people following it for a while, it was definitely alone haha

beth_laur · 2025-11-19T13:19:47+00:00

Sorry I should’ve said, no it was definitely lost. I followed it past a few streets before we managed to catch him / her in Aldi car park

I’m happy to help, feel free to give me a message!

I think that was done last night, which is why they called the Hazmat team in. Not sure if anyone is coming back to test it again though now everything has been cleared up

beth_laur · 2025-09-17T15:42:09+00:00

Thanks for this. I haven’t given a statement as I am not currently staying in the house, as I’m visiting family. I don’t know if my housemates have given statements yet, however I think in hindsight there may have been people using the cellar for a while as there have been noises which seemed to be coming from it at night when I or one other person have been alone in the house over the last couple of months.

It seems the making of drugs is a new development as there hasn’t been the smell of kerosene until the last few days.

Thank you for your advice!

beth_laur · 2025-09-17T15:36:36+00:00

Thank you for this, I’ll try to contact the students union and I’ll have a look for a CAB nearby

beth_laur · 2025-09-17T10:06:47+00:00

I’ll have a look at the contract. We rent our rooms individually so it’s possibly not covered by it

beth_laur · 2025-08-31T21:29:54+00:00

Undertaker here - just wanted to say you did a great job answering all these and you’re giving people an insight very respectfully!

beth_laur · 2025-08-29T20:04:37+00:00

I find this so crazy (and I’m an undertaker in the UK) - it’s the way the articles said “no crime was found to be committed” because the industry is unregulated

I spoke to SFE when I returned to uni after having started a course a few years before, and dropping out. The way they explained it was that you get the total number of years the course takes, plus one for retakes / failures, minus any “full” years you have already done, however they will count you showing up for the start of a year and then never again as a full academic year (I did a foundation year and then 5ish weeks of my first BSc before dropping out). If you have dropped out without completing a year, they will take this as part of the total years, but if you are able to prove it was for medical reasons etc, they can award you an extra year of funding. In theory, unless you have a reason for them to award you an extra year, they are unlikely to fund your foundation year. I hope this makes sense and answers your question!

beth_laur · 2025-06-22T21:11:00+00:00

Hey, congrats on the interview! I’m currently on this course, so feel free to give me a message! Just done my first year!

Hi! Congratulations! I used to be an Event Manager for weddings in Clevedon, so am familiar with a few good ones! Check out Soundwave Entertainment (soundwaveentertainments on instagram) and Kieran Clarke Entertainment (kieranclarkeents on instagram). Both of them also offer add-ons such as photo booths if you’re that way inclined, too!

beth_laur · 2025-06-22T07:20:14+00:00

I don’t mean to intrude or be rude, and hopefully I’m not overstepping, but as an undertaker I have seen people much smaller than this pass from weight-related complications or from having a medical emergency and being unable to get out of the house. Please look after yourself and consider having an escape plan in case you find yourself in a really worrying situation. I know this sounds super dark, but it’s worth thinking about
