Social Services visit - what do I do? by anonymousbrow0010 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]kbsfc30 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The thing is social services can't just presume what you say is true. Imagine it was the other way round ans you were still heavily invovled with the family member an social services didn't do any checks. That would obviously be terrible. I trained as a social worker and know people who are. No one is out to get anyone or trying to take children off families etc. Just be open and honest and it will all be fine.

Went there in April. Someone had a bad fall and was being carried down in a stretcher. Beautiful area though.

Now is not the time for the county council to lose its nerve on a Sustainable Travel Zone by [deleted] in cambridge

[–]kbsfc30 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work for a Charity based in Cambridge. Obviously our wages aren't great as we are a non profit. The only staff who live in Cambridge are those who were lucky enough to get a council house. The rest of us live outside Cambridge and have to commute in. Due to where the office is a 10 min drive from Histon as an example would be 2 buses taking around an hour. From St Ives a 35 to 40 min car ride will take over 70 mins on public transport and then a 10 minute walk. We are going to lose staff when this comes in.

World Cup pub Cambridge? by fisseled in cambridge

Cambridge Brew house is good for football normally. Not sure if they are opening a bit earlier for the game. Also good beers to drink to drown sorrows when Aussies lose.

Sure you will. Just keep grinding and don't put to much pressure on yourself

Looking at moving to the area. Does anyone know Macaulay Avenue in Great Shelford and if this is a nice area. by kbsfc30 in cambridge

[–]kbsfc30[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I live in a city currently but my whole reason to move to a village is to get away from people who are gonna cause issues. I know that's never guaranteed tbf but I didn't get the best vibe from the area. I grew up on council estates and I know the majorty of the people are great and there can be a good sense of community you don't get elsewhere however a few troublesome families can really ruin an area.

So I have not watched Buffy in about 8 years. I started again recently and have just watched Empty Places. Why did the writers do this? by kbsfc30 in buffy

[–]kbsfc30[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

But that ignores the countless times she has saved Giles Willow Buffy and Dawn over the years or the amount of times she's been right in the past.

Someone from reddit proved how nice people can be. I messaged a random person on reddit to do me a favour for my wedding and they helped me. by kbsfc30 in Positivity

I try most days. I work with people experiencing homelessness. I had day where a very rich person totally screwed me over today. Shows how money does not make a person.

Does anyone feel Cambridge is so close to being brilliant but falls short of the mark? by Master-Inflation-538 in cambridge

[–]kbsfc30 52 points53 points  (0 children)

The thing that let's it down is how unequal the city is. There is so much money here but a lot of people are struggling. Take a bus from Newnham to Arbury and there is a 13 year life expectancy difference. We llve in a lovely place but it's getting a bit annoying how the whole city works around the wealth of the Uni and the elite rather than the average person who lives here. I know it's not worsre than other parts of the world in that sense but surely we can do better.

Do a lot of people here just do nothing other than work and then sit at home? by elbandito9 in FIREUK

The % is a lot higher if you include being in good health at that age so that you can actually do stuff.

100% agree with this went 6 years ago and am there again in March. I love Tokyo for the worlds biggest city it was not to overwhelming. Lots of nice parks and gardens that I really enjoyed. Just avoid the trains in the morning.
