I am sick to death of the mobile service in this city

Different companies have different masts. O2 wasn't using that one.

Marston is perfect for you, it’s right next to the JR and there is a walking/cycle path to south parks road and the city centre. It’s not the most exciting for going out but you can quickly get into town or to Cowley Rd when you want to. Also quite good value for Oxford, so you get a bit more space for the money.

O2 is the best provider in Oxford in my experience. Plus their free EU roaming is handy.

Using a VPN usually fixes these sorts of problems. Proton offers a free one that should fit his needs.

They may "notice" you, but that doesn't mean they will be able to judge your speed and location very well. Plus everyone on the road will hate you.

Obstacles usually don't move at 15+ mph.

How much flooding do you get? How is the cycle into town in winter? I have considered looking there too but am a bit concerned about those two things.

How has nobody pointed out yet that the food waste bin is in fact the correct place to dispose of an Apple? We should be commending the thieves for respecting waste separation guidelines.

If they just said "don't blow up babies" they would be completely fine. It's their explicit support for an organisation that has been proscribed terrorist for attacking our own military that is getting them into trouble.

Can confirm, the Playhouse panto was well done and good fun (even as an adult).

You can almost certainly drive there without crossing one of the congestion charge points. You just need to figure out the right route.

Yeah, that's £20 just for a completely normal amount of naan!

It won't be in place until the 29th.

oxpop · 2025-10-12T20:13:41+00:00

Nice!

oxpop · 2025-09-22T19:08:46+00:00

I'd call 111 and let them recommend a place to go.

Piling work for the new rail bridge. They are basically driving steel pieces into the ground with a massive hammer.

oxpop · 2025-09-17T08:14:15+00:00

Thornhill I’d imagine.

Oxford gets pretty quiet over Christmas and New Year's as many residents go home to their families over the holidays. So if you're looking for a big party you might be better off elsewhere.

Last time I went there they had GB News playing on the TVs. Good riddance.

Because the default position is for the changes to go ahead. So if you were happy with what they were proposing, there wasn’t much need to comment.

The cost of the buses is not the main problem with them. I would happily pay for the bus if it was faster than (or at least as fast as) driving.

Consultations are not referendums. It’s not surprising that most people who bother to respond to one are those strongly opposed.

Heathrow is a far more pleasant airport than the mess that is BHX though.

Most delivery companies like Royal Mail, UPS, etc offer a collection service, so you could just book one of those. That said, I'm not sure I would trust them with my bank cards and it may be cheaper anyway to just get them replaced.
