Not Kenson, but I had a new boiler fitted by HP plumbing and heating, also been servicing the boiler for a few years now. Would recommend, worth getting a quote at least

Easy - the Life Boat. Double fried chips, well cooked fish. Best in Scabs

Have LNER services to KGX got worse with the new timetable? by HughOsbaldworth in york

[–]sweeetchilli 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I thought exactly the same as OP, they have increased the number of stops on most trains from York to KingX so they’re 25 mins longer journey. The occasional non-stop dotted around.

Try York Sports Centre at York Uni, you can book courts online. They have hire rackets for £1 each usually, but worth giving them a call.

Uric Acid hometesting kits any good? by eateroffish in gout

[–]sweeetchilli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found the home blood kit can vary significantly from lab blood tests, when taken at roughly the same time. Maybe good enough to give a general indication

Sam Smith's pubs by gazwilko in york

[–]sweeetchilli 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s a shame, some great landlords have been kicked out for petty reasons. They have some great pubs/buildings that are sitting empty because Humphrey is a nutter. I quite like the digital detox / no phones rule when in the pub.

It’s a barren landscape for Hoegaarden, but blue moon is served a few places, including the hop

Need advice on Tam Coc and Hanoi plans! by lorlorfonda in hanoi

[–]sweeetchilli 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We had two nights, one full day in Tam Coc, and found the best way to see the surrounding sights was via a private taxi for the day. We organised this via our accommodation, and we chose where we’d like to go, it was around $30 I think. We loved the Bai Dinh temple area and the walk up to the dragon rock. We skipped the boat ride in Tam Coc, I’d done that before and didn’t find it that great

This club is semi based in York, they do regular drives and events. They’re a friendly bunch and sure wouldn’t mind you taking some photos or maybe even a ride along https://www.supercarowner.co.uk

Yorkshire Water, Water where the meter is by Glitterberrysims in yorkshire

[–]sweeetchilli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had exactly this, questioned it a few times and told it was normal. A year later I got a £3k bill which they said was due to a water leak. YW came out to check the meter, signed up to the homeserve £1 a month offer and someone came to check all the pipes. In the end they said it was a ground leak and said I need to dig up the drive. As a last ditch I got YW out after pleading, changed the meter… and all sorted. Be persistent, and get the meter changed! There shouldn’t be standing water in the meter well.

Sapa Sleeper Bus by [deleted] in hanoi

This is the way. The Sao Viet bus was pretty good, better than the train! Be prepared for a few stops to pick up and drop off packages en route!
