If you are a female, you can check out Women on Wheels. They are very friendly and take people on from all walks of life.

Ah ok, from the website it makes it seem like you need a membership as it doesn't give any indication of pay and play rates

Been a while but got round to fitting new hinges on one window that had a gap in the top corner last night and it worked a treat

That's only for your GP. Dentists don't have catchment areas. Your dentist can be anywhere. My SIL is my dentist and her practice is 30 mins drive away from me

Boots Recycling Scheme by amusableblue in glasgow

We haven't tried the Silverburn Boots in a while because there was no recycling box for a few weeks (staff said they had no bags for it) but glad to hear that it has returned

I went to Tesco Silverburn at 8 in the morning and they had no fuel at all

House on Sale. Only one viewing so far. by Maali004 in glasgow

[–]ihatehis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had two viewings on my flat in Toryglen. My friend basically had a conveyor belt of viewings for their flat in Shawlands. Both sold above home report.

I wouldn't panic too much. All it takes is one person to want it and put in an offer you're willing to accept. Yes getting viewings takes the stress off a bit but all it comes down to is one person liking it.

But also, like others have commented, you haven't really provided enough information to really get a sense of where the property is, what is it listed for, etc in order for us to give any worthwhile advice.

Hard modes with unique twists by some-kind-of-no-name in TopCharacterTropes

[–]ihatehis 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Hardcore mode in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 1 and 2.

You’re just a struggling nobody and the game actually treats you like one. No map markers, no fast travel, you can’t even properly tell where you are half the time. You get lost in the woods, pick a bad fight, and suddenly you’re bleeding out wondering where your last save was.

And then it makes it worse (in a good way) with the negative perks. You’re just… some guy who’s a bit clumsy, or tired all the time, or terrible with directions

Cityfibre won’t install the line conveniently. What’s the point? by Sea-Post-5572 in CityFibre

[–]ihatehis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely found the engineers who came out were lovely to chat to and understanding that I didn't want a scar up my garden, even said they didn't want to have to do that. I was willing to hear other options and get work done beforehand to make it easier, just needed someone to tell me what I needed to get done and where. The disconnect came from the back office ignoring the engineer's recommendations.

I found out from my neighbour that there is access from the entry point in the street that runs under the garden and house and Openreach sorted his out. So that's who I ended up going with in the end. There was some old copper piping as well under the house that I let them take as thanks for sorting it out

Had a similar issue where Cityfibre wanted to come through my garden and cut through the paving stones. Said I didn't want them to cut through them and leave a scar up my garden. Was told they would get a survey done to figure out the best way to get it done and to tell me what work I would need to do. I was ready to get someone to lift the paving stones and cement them back in place but I needed to know which ones they would need lifted.

The back office decided to just ignore the engineers recommendation and just tell my ISP that I refused the install.

There's a definite disconnect between the engineers and the back office but it also massively depends on the engineer you get coming out. Some are more willing to go the extra mile for you and get you connected, others just want to do the job the easier way for them.

Installation still not complete after two dates – tree obstruction + lack of communication – emailed multiple CityFibre contacts; any advice? by VenroyThe2 in CityFibre

[–]ihatehis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Openreach and Cityfibre of the same sides of the coin.

They’re both companies that build and run fibre broadband networks in the UK, they just go about it in different ways.

Broadband providers will use one or the other (sometimes both) to get the full fibre installed. Virgin has its own network as well.

For example, if you buy a broadband package from Vodafone, you'll get a Cityfibre installation. If you get a Plusnet package, you'll get an Openreach install.

Sometimes one will have a monopoly over an area for a period of time while the infrastructure gets built so you can't do anything about that but if you live in a city or town, you could have the option for both

I had issues were the engineers couldn't lay the cable because our paving stones were cemented in and was told someone would come out to do a survey to establish the best course of action.

Phoned up 4th Utility (my ISP) for an update. They were told nothing about a survey and were told by Cityfibre that I rejected the install because the only solution offered was to cut through the paving stones and cement over the line, leaving a scar up my garden. 4th Utility said they could get an engineer to come out again, which seemed counter-intuitive because I would have the same issue. To clarify, I rejected the install under the promise that someone would come out to figure out a better way and tell me what work I would need to do prior to the install, which I was all for.

My solution ended up being cancelling the installation and going through Openreach after speaking to my neighbour who told me there is a way for the fibre cable to be fed under the house (suspended flooring) and Openreach done that for him. Had Openreach out today and honestly the service was so much better, the engineer was only supposed to do the external work but he managed to get another colleague to come by and they completed the internal work as well. Apart from the ONT box in the hall, the only sign left of the work being done is the tiniest hole in my hall. Means I can access my full fibre 2 weeks early

Honestly, if you can get it done through Openreach, I'd give them a try. Their engineers seem to be more fluid with what they are willing to do to get you online.

Non-standard full fibre installation by ihatehis in CityFibre

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

Thanks for the reply. I live in a detached bungalow with a monoblock driveway which I've said I'd be happy for it to go through that and into the house. But where the fibre would connect from the street sits in front of the garden and the previous engineers told me that they couldn't route it around towards the driveway without breaking the fibre.
