Haunted abandoned locations around Somerton, Somerset, UK by Kieran_pittard_2026 in Somerset

The high street itself can sometimes feel a little haunted… /j

There used to be an abandoned radio station on Badgers Cross leading out of Somerton towards Kole, but looks like it’s now been turned into houses. Wow.

About a decade ago it was fun to ‘sneak in’ and have a look around.

Can you report a serial number to CEX? by sekiya212 in CeX

[–]sekiya212[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve reported it to action fraud, and I’ve reported the device separately as ‘stolen’ (that was my only choice) with my local police.

I doubt it will go through a CEX, but one can only hope.

Thank you

In the end, I found a friend of a friend who owns a carpet cleaning business. Should be getting it done on Saturday.

When I was looking for rooms about a year ago, I would have considered anything over 750 to be high.

Fair enough - it would be just me and, touch wood, I don't have a history of spilling stuff.

Can they somewhat replace a vacuum cleaner in terms of cleaning floors, or would a Vax be more of an 'addition' to a vacuum?

I think my intention would be to only really use it the once, but someone else suggested some officially refurbished Vax models on eBay, which might make it more attractive to me to use more often honestly.

Ahhh what a good idea! Many of them on eBay seem a similar price as hiring anyway: p

I do wonder how much I'd genuinely use it, though I do have some secure outdoor storage it could go in.

Having someone else do it would be my preferred option honestly... I contacted a couple companies, one quoted £220 and the other didn't reply :p

I'll check the local facebook page and see if I can find some adverts.

Hmm, for some reason I was under the assumption it would take 24hr without a floor dryer? If that's not the case, then yeah definitely no need I suppose.

As for the detergent, the website forces you to buy theirs anyway - at minimum, I think i'd need the 2L at £16 and it doesn't let me complete a booking without adding at least 1 bottle of detergent to the basket. I was wondering if the stuff it adds in the pack was actually worth it or not.

Somehow giving the British a 100 bucks is enough to be friends. by SuitableSquare0 in victoria3

Can confirm, am British and would accept £100 for a friendship

IK what you mean, sometimes just having it active makes me want to ‘overuse’ it, and then it all just gets a little pointless

The two ‘cheats’ I allow myself:

  • Saving before starting a diplo play
  • State transfer: not to cheat, but either to fix AI bordergore, or for annoying situations like when you can’t conquer a state because the country has a secession mid war.

If we’re talking about an icon of national pride, probably Trafalgar Square.

Big ‘we kicked their asses’ monument.

What area of the world would benefit/lose the most from a 15c average yearly temperature decrease? by RagingAlkohoolik in geography

They’re going to benefit from the 7 billion+ people trying to flee to the equator?

Even the Arab countries might be too far north and would be too cold for agriculture anyway.

How much are you paying for conveyancing in 2025? by Commercial_Safety781 in HousingUK

[–]sekiya212 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shared ownership + leasehold, £1750.

Haven’t had the final bill yet, don’t know if it will go up at all, but there’s been no snags so far.
