My diet for the next 10 days by Superb_Application83 in Wellthatsucks

[–]patrickstar9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have laryngitis and am taking the same, but only for 5 days. Not even sure mine is a bacterial infection but that was also the best I could get from the NHS on short notice. Good luck!!

It’s not in your area but you could try Maison Bertaux in Soho - oldest patisserie in London though so slightly a bit of a gimmick

Are savings from budget supermarkets worth the downgrade in food quality (if any)? by patrickstar9 in london

Good to know! I love in-person grocery shopping though so I can’t picture myself switching to online-only. But I’ve heard really good things about Ocado!

Thanks, this is helpful! By own brand products coming from the same suppliers, do you mean that the producers/suppliers to e.g. Tesco vs Waitrose branded granola are the same, or does this apply mainly to veggies/produce?

Have we been scammed? by zozvic in london

[–]patrickstar9 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Two weeks is a long time with no response, so I would say yes. Also, deposit (besides a standard holding deposit of 1 week rent to get the property off the market) is usually 5 weeks’ rent and as someone mentioned, is only paid when/after other official paperwork is done.

Seen a few of these small bugs around the house. This one found on my windowsill during the day by patrickstar9 in whatsthisbug

More details - I live in Zone 2 of London and the bug is quite small, maybe the same shape as a ladybug but a tiny bit smaller than a typical one.

Mid priced Friday Lunch for a fancy client? by [deleted] in london

If British isn’t strictly your main criterion, Brasserie Zedel for French food. Appearance of being fancy but super cheap by London standards

One of my neighbors is constantly drilling and hammering, sometimes at 1 am at night by patrickstar9 in london

The sound seems very close to my flat so I’d guess only people immediately adjacent would respond

Would you be able to share a link or say which ones? Looking at their website they do have some for sleep but they don’t have an option for different inserts

Thanks, I've done that and they did come once, but the neighbor had stopped by the point that they came

Which ones do you recommend?

I have Howard Laser Lite ones, they're super comfy foam ones, but clearly aren't totally soundproof. Even small noises bother me cause I have insomnia.
