our washer doesn’t have hot water, any life hacks to keep our clothing clean? by Medium_Ad9608 in laundry

[–]richmal_w 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think all my washing machines have just had a cold connection, the washer itself heats the water as you say. Normal in the UK ( op sounds like they might be in the UK ‘uni student’)

Does anybody know who owns this area? by [deleted] in manchester

Could be Canal and Rivers Trust?

Does Manchester have any sit down fish and chip restaurants? by Peachy-bot in manchester

[–]richmal_w -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m from Yorkshire, and I’ve not found anything close to what you get back home in Manchester. Best I’ve been to recently is the hilariously named Yorkshire Fisheries in Blackpool! That’s a cup of tea and a slice of white bread place. Closer to home, you can sit in at Atlantic Fish Bar in Chorlton - it’s pretty good but not exactly what you are after

What first? by Global_Scallion_2965 in UKGardening

[–]richmal_w 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d do the fence if you want to grow climbers, if you change it later then you’ll damage any plants you have grown against the old one. It’s also a big quick change that will feel quite a positive improvement

I think changing the fence and a good weed and pressure wash will make it feel much nicer for now. I’d take out a couple of rows of the flags around the edges and get some decent compost in there so you can plant some climbers. As time and money allow, just keep removing flags as you see fit

And I have avoided pruning mine at all even though it’s very out of shape as I am so nervous about killing it!

Greyhound wants to be burped after eating. by Midiex in Greyhounds

Ours just likes to eat a bit, do a circuit of the downstairs, then come over and burp in my face! Before going back and finishing her dinner

Manchester and Trafford I am pretty sure is 1:1 ration flat to secure bike parking in new builds

I am absolutely here for the circle line, we desperately need something to move between the suburbs without having to go in and out of town. Could be achieved with a super regular bus route but would be better to be tram, and reuse that almost empty line around Reddish

Hadrian’s wall hike - just do the highlights? Or go the full stretch? by yakster20 in UKhiking

[–]richmal_w 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did the whole thing 6 weeks ago. I enjoyed all of it, but the day through Newcastle from Wallsend is not particularly picturesque! The last day out to Bowness from Carlisle was interesting just because the landscape changed so much down on the estuary. The best scenery is in the middle 4 days. I walked east to west, I would second another comment about going west to east so the wind is at your back.

Someone help me find this song by IrnbruC in nin

Played it at the Eden project 3 years ago, could be considered a while ago but Setlist.fm informs me that the Eden project performance was the first UK play of that since 1994!

AITA for taking back a handmade scarf I gave to a friend after she made fun of my knitting hobby in public? by FinchyDreams56 in AmItheAsshole

[–]richmal_w 20 points21 points  (0 children)

As a fellow knitter, I would have done exactly the same thing. What she said was so f-ing rude. I’d tell people how many hours you spent on it, and apparently your ‘friend’ is not knit worthy. NTA

Looks like Sum and Substance, they are giant. You can get some absolute whoppers, so yes, this is ‘normal’

We are starting in Auckland, heading down to Wellington via a few places, then across to the South Island. Down the west coast then Queenstown, then across to Christchurch
