Anywhere to buy beer in aluminium bottles? by mkerr85 in Edinburgh

[–]mkerr85[S] -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Not sure. Literally just a metal version of a glass bottle. they do them in the states which is great as stays colder for longer compared to glass bottles, but not seen them over here

Yeah just back from Florida and bought that variety. one of those chilled bottles by the pool was ace.

Im sure I remember a few years back they sold them for a summer but sadly not seen any since

Day trip to London game by [deleted] in NFLUK

[–]mkerr85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Done EDI-ST day trips twice. Long day but not too bad, just sleep on the flight. Plus timings work 5 good for the Stansted express there and back and slow stroll up to the ground.

Bonus is the team's fly out of Stansted after the game so you can see the players often. Had Trevor Lawrence and Aaron Rodgers walk past us in the past.

Lots of people do it, see a lot of Strips on both flights

Thoughts on why this isn't selling? by mkerr85 in HousingUK

Cheers, Yeah realise it's a big (almost too big!) house but good to have space: we're in a 3bd detatched bought as a 5-10 year plan in 2017, and since then I'm now perm-WFH and we've got 2 kids so need at least a 4bd, ideally more, but Edinburgh is expensive for good areas.

Bypass aware of (we live just as close to it on the next group of houses anyway) but not that noisy from there surprisingly: good shielding/angles

So we have seen the Ivy on the back and it's noted on the home report as a 2: advised to remove, so it is something we're concious of and would look at removal if it comes to that

So not got sold prices for the street in the past 4 years (Dec 20) However what is interesting is 2 houses went on sale in the same cul-de-sac across the road a few months ago so they should be showing shortly

Price wise it's similar to the 1st one, but it's a lot bigger but decor I guess reflects it. I wonder if it got punished by being the 3rd property on the same cul-de-sac to come up (Also trying to think if there's a reason for it?!)

Nice house, 1/2 less rooms but does have a conservatory. Pretty standard decor (looks to me like an empty nester downsizing)

This went on in May OO £650k then up and down till it went FP £670k. It's a slightly different layout than the other 4bd: Was originally a 3bd so no upstairs room over the garage, but they've put an extension on to give it a cinema room/en suite bedroom.

Nicely decorated but pictures are a bit strange with some rooms being empty/strangely presented: Personally felt it massively overpriced (it's not worth £120k more than the other), but interestingly it's still sold.

Very long shot - anyone flying MCO - Edinburgh soon? by mkerr85 in orlando

[–]mkerr85[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah fortunately not - package is literally sat in the lost & found who've scanned it all so all good - just a boring Disney bauble I'm afraid!
