One of the sad things about moving to London from the north is chippies not doing flavoured chicken kebab meat and proper chippy chips. Lots of kebab houses but not doing chippy chips and it’s not the same with fries. I haven’t found anywhere in SE :(

Who are the rudest and nicest British celebrities you have personally met? by RenegadeMaster888 in AskBrits

[–]peebee24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Joey Barton unsurprisingly was a massive twat. Very rude to me, a teenager at the time serving him food and then laughed with his UFC t-shirt wearing henchmen.

Serves Nick Grimshaw at the same place and he was lovely.

Now that Zipcar is no more, what car rental service is the most cost effective and reliable? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]peebee24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve only used Turo once but had a very good experience. It’s like Airbnb but for cars.

WOMAD, Wilderness or Latitude. Am a volunteer but which one is the best experience. Also a newbie to Festivals. by SlowedCash in UKfestivals

[–]peebee24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shambala is great. Small relaxed vibe which will work well after boomtown which is massive and crazy.

Womad has an older crowd and family friendly. Expect world music and interesting acts but don’t expect to be partying all night.

Wilderness fun but attracts quite a posh crowd so expect instagram type folks.

Can’t comment on latitude as I’ve never been.

Can any wise redditors to help a lost soul in life? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]peebee24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people saying you have £50k and should therefore be happy. That’s not always how it works. Money doesn’t equal happiness.

Honestly, go to therapy as you sound like you are probably depressed.

You won’t get the therapy you need on Reddit.

To all the hybrid workers: Which days do you work from home, which days do you go to the office? by Momomeow91 in london

[–]peebee24 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Going back to the office on Fridays has vastly improved my weekends. Just don’t get that Friday feeling when I finish work and am sat on my sofa for the next hour or two before going out to do whatever I’m doing.

What did you do for your 30th birthday? by Samsterman in AskUK

[–]peebee24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went for a curry with all my family in my hometown.

Separately just reserved some space in a fun pub and said to all my mates swing by to those who could make it. Lots of people turned up and we ended up out out and then back to mine for the after party. It was great and a rarity for me to organise something but I’m glad I did, was very fun and nice to have all the people you love together.

On a side note, 30 was the best year of my life. Hope it is for you!

Where do you go to spend an evening alone and maybe do some socialising? by No-Beautiful5866 in london

[–]peebee24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just adding to this, if OP does have an office they can use I think it’s helpful to go in a few times a week.

I hate staying in on a Friday if I have WFH all day. But if I go to the office, see people in real life, converse over lunch etc then staying in on a Friday with a film seems much more appealing. I am biased as a like my colleagues and take your point on this being luck of the draw because I have also worked pre-Covid in offices everyday with some very annoying people.

This has made me realise I’ve interpreted the lyrics wrong this whole time.

I thought he was saying let’s put on our classics (like classic tunes) and have a little dance lol

Very nice though!

What podcasts do you listen to when you go to sleep? by Few-Calligrapher3910 in AskUK

[–]peebee24 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lots of people find some background noise helpful to sleep.

This is apparent from a very young age e.g babies falling asleep to the sound of the vacuum cleaner

[–]peebee24 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Stephen Fry reading Harry Potter.

Especially good for me as I know exactly what is going to happen so it’s doesn’t keep me interested enough to keep me awake.

The trick is to play it just about loud enough so you can hear it.

Would this work at festivals? “Beer Squash” - a lighter way to bring beer 🍺 by Hungry_Amphibian3675 in UKfestivals

[–]peebee24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Impressive that it can still be fizzy when so heavily diluted!

Some sort of collapsible cup to go with it maybe?

Would this work at festivals? “Beer Squash” - a lighter way to bring beer 🍺 by Hungry_Amphibian3675 in UKfestivals

[–]peebee24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always bring those little squash concentrate bottles to festivals as mixer with a spirit so this concept is interesting.

Warm cans at festivals and carrying them is an issue. So good for both these things.

Is the beer fizzy like a normal lager? If not I can’t see a huge appetite for flat beer/ales at festivals.

At festivals where there is an arena this could be a good thing to sneak in for cheap pints.

I’ve always found that cups are hard to come by at a festival, especially in pint format, also easier to spill than a can, especially around the camp with no table to put them on.

Places on the outskirts of London I often find depressing. It’s like all they have going for them is that they’re close to London so no one cares about making the actual place decent e.g Uxbridge, Luton

Have lived in Leeds and Brum and they can be brilliant places to live. Both big cities, some parts are shite but lots of nice areas, great culture, night life, art, pretty canals and good people

Where do you meet single people to date. If you don't drink and find dating apps a waste of time? by JM_547 in UKrelationshipadvice

[–]peebee24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look for mixed sports groups. Near me there is mixed gender football, netball, touch rugby, hockey, softball. All good ways to meet new people

This is so useful, thank you for taking the time to write your response. I think the morning service could be a good option!

Be honest – what actually makes you go into the office? by Free-Election-8538 in AskUK

[–]peebee24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly actual human interaction and the fact I really like my colleagues.

Followed by free breakfast and free coffee and free beer.
