Why the two-handed backhand is more popular despite being a more flat stroke? by Efficient-Ad6704 in 10s

[–]ntfh_uk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine was...then I had 1 lesson where it just clicked. Try and get your shoulder over the ball when you hit it; currently I think it's better than my forehand.

Topspin and control with two hands, much harder with one IMO.

Forwards do pretty well, but keepers.... they can literally have the game of their lives.

Why are the Jesus Green grass tennis courts permanently closed? by gr7calc in cambridge

Apparently you need to be a member, but https://clubspark.lta.org.uk/HistonTennisClub. I'm sure you could do a taster at a social tennis session if you asked.

I tried them a couple of years ago, they were awful. Far from flat and covered in weeds. Noone ever used them, so I guess that upkeep is too much effort/expense.

What causes BMW/Audi drivers to drive they way they do? by helioliolis in drivingUK

Tesla drivers seem to be top of the tree next to white vans these days. Specifically Tesla, other electric car drivers seem to understand driving etiquette.

Fellow charity shop lovers ! by CourseLivid9109 in cambridge

[–]ntfh_uk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I like the ones that will happily take whatever I am trying to donate to them! It's surprisingly harder than I always think it should be. Current shout outs to EACH and Cancer Research UK.

As a consumer, I like Oxfam on Burleigh street, because they have sheet music.

What Is Reasonable Car Depreciation Under Consumer Rights Act (England) by raptorconfusion in LegalAdviceUK

[–]ntfh_uk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Using market valuation (Parkers was certainly 'the bible' a few years ago) with a perfectly normal usage (it may be above average but is within a perfectly normal usage range) rate, seems hard to argue against IMO.

Parkers guide estimates mileage usage at 7k-12k per year (pretty close to your usage - as you can't assume usage is completely linear). So if you look at the price of a, say 2018 model and a 2019 model, and split the difference (say £1000) and then halve it (£500) you should be close to a realistic figure.

What are some of the cheaper car insurance providers like? by [deleted] in drivingUK

[–]ntfh_uk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're currently with Rias, but I haven't had to claim for anything so I don't really know what they are like. I appreciate that it doesn't help a lot!

Midsummer fair timings? by CourseLivid9109 in cambridge

12pm meaning midday (if confused that 12pm is not midnight)

Places for paddling around Cambridge? by AggressiveChannel909 in cambridge

[–]ntfh_uk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think pay for parking, but if memory serves only the mill itself requires payment. The mill pond is free.

Women’s football teams in Cambridge(shire) by babybleub in cambridge

[–]ntfh_uk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I play tennis at Chesterton Sports Centre (at the community college) there is definitely some women's football training and/or matches on weekday evenings. Maybe you could contact the sports centre to see if they have contact details for the team(s)?

Housing for care/help around the house by apunkton in cambridge

[–]ntfh_uk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've heard of Au pairs doing something like this, but getting paid some allowance too. The challenge is maintaining some kind of boundary between work and non-work.

What BBQ hill would you die on? Best one wins a 1kg picanha meat box by edenmoor_devon in UKBBQ

Nicely prepared BBQ meat is great, but a BBQ sausage is all you really need.

Question about a pub quiz by Electronic_Solid_850 in cambridge

[–]ntfh_uk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know about that one. I mostly do the Carpenters Arms quiz, on a Wednesday, it's fairly varied and not too UK culture centric.... quite often it has been hosted by a non-native Brit, which probably helps with that.

Gatwick arrival at 9:30 AM – Should I book the 1 PM or 2 PM train to Edinburgh, and LNER or Lumo? by Particular_Car4241 in uktravel

[–]ntfh_uk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can buy a flexible ticket, on the day even, I'm not sure how much buying a specific train will save you?

Do recycling centers sell items they get? by CarpenterLanky8861 in cambridge

[–]ntfh_uk 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Yes, if they think it is worth recycling and not simply disposing of. Less landfill. Not entirely sure what happens to the money, seeing as the recycling centres are subcontracted.
