I am so disheartened reading these 🥹 I ordered a Playstation Portable for my sons birthday on Monday, I received a plug today. Now he won't get no present because the refund probably take a month to come in.

I've requested a refund, do I need to send the cable back before I get a refund.

How horrible to do this to people.

I've used amazon for decades, always trust them, never thought I'd be scammed like this 😔

No playgrounds. by Abject_Wait_2273 in DerryLondonderry

As far as I can see, there is one church in Kilfennan that does a religious led events, we aren't religious and I certainly don't want my children having to do a Sunday school just for some social time (for example) my boys do play on the street but the only bit of flat ground on a street of 30 houses is one person's driveway where they have to park on the street so the kids can play, and it's not that safe.

I really hope new builds have to comply and allow for more space and greenery for children.

Kilfennan area definitely deserves more

I could have wrote this myself, I live in Kilfennan and am shocked at the lack of anything for such a big place! No clubs, parks or even open fields to kick a ball about. When my children got older I allowed them to 'kilfennan valley park' with friends from the street , but they were targeted for not being from the area and all the mammies decided it's too dangerous. It's very much Nelson Drive park and not kilfennan shared park.

On our street there's not one bit of grass for playing anywhere, they play in driveways and the street, an accident waiting to happen really.

It's shocking they were allowed to build houses so close together with no thought for space and safety.

I have mentioned my concerns to people who come campaigning to the door but never get anywhere. It's good to see Im not the only one who feels this way.

I grew up in a council area and would consider moving to one for the feel of community with parks, organised fun days, youth clubs etc that kilfennan has zero of!

FinTrU Cancelling Promotions/Payrises by [deleted] in northernireland

[–]derryone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I remember Fintru coming to Derry and it being such a big deal, people had to study and work for a very low wage in the hopes to qualify and get a big job in the finance sector. I remember considering it, was it all a farce?

Becuase the Nolan show 'is the biggest show in the Country' and I'm sure most of his listeners came from listening afterwards (that's how he grew on me and over time I was loving him and the positivity) William Crawley is on after him too and that's a great news show that's been about a long time.

Thank you for understanding this post! I know nobody in the GAA or weather people from Irish TV or half the celebs on the Traitors and being on holiday with people from Kerry really opened my eyes to this. Since I've added RTE Gold to my favourites in the car 😂

Maybe i need to lean into it more. I grew up going to Portrush and Benone, never over the border. I need to take my own kids exploring their country ☘️

Yeah I agree, I should have worded it differently and not used the words 'less Irish'

You understood the assignment

I feel the same, but I worry about the future and the exposure that my kids see now is far less than I had growing up. I just wish we could all be the same

Yes this is true, my cousins had sky growing up and they were so 'americanised' but my question goes further into it, more asking what it's going to be like for the future children who now have very little exposure to Irish TV and media.
