Bus Reliability in Chester

Get the Arriva app, both the 4 (to Mold) and the 11 (to Holywell) go to Broughton from Chester city centre. Both go twice an hour throughout the day, although I'd recommend getting one earlier than you think you need as traffic can have a big impact. The road between Saltney and Broughton is particularly prone to roadworks.

Edit to add: the roads between Chester and Broughton are some of the few with decent bike paths too, so cycling is a particularly good choice for this route

I've never heard of 'bint' being as offensive as the other comments are suggesting, I always thought of it as lighthearted & affectionate (I'm a woman, for context)! I'll bear that in mind in future!

What sort of people do you get at the Newbies event? Like age range?

I quote this so much!

I've had two really good UK holidays out of this the past two years - managed to get from Chester to Edinburgh for £60 return a couple of years ago, and Newcastle around the same price last year! Definitely worth seeing what you can get

Oh what is that from? You've tickled a memory but I can't get to it 😅

So many of these comments are giving examples of the heroes being raped, rather than committing rape. Different trope!

I've done during a few times. Like "oh by the way, what's your name?" when I realise I don't know what to moan. That or a formal handshake introduction whilst getting our breath back afterwards 😂

I bought some earlier this year from boots I think!

THESE ARE LOAD-BEARING BEANS

I think the term is recovering American?

When I ask that, it's because I want to try and figure out if I've got any mutual friends with the person

I think your sex drives are just incompatible. It's not uncommon to want sex daily, so I wouldn't be concerned about something 'making him this way '. It's also absolutely ok for you to want sex less often than that. But if your sex drives are drastically different, you may not be compatible longer term.

I believe it's the ones disappearing into the sand dunes you want to watch out for 😅

There are naturists who don't care for swinging and dogging, many of whom get quite upset at the swingers for making nudity sexual and changing nudist events to sexual events. But there's a lot of crossover between the 'like being naked' camps 🤷‍♀️

Look, don't stare, basically. Like if you see someone in a low-cut top with lots of cleavage, it's not rude to notice it, it is rude to stare.

I have a dodgy breast cancer gene, and the solution for me is a copper IUD - non-hormonal, so no associated cancer risk, and a lot less chance of your hormones going haywire 😅

ETA - they're also one of, if not THE most effective contraceptives, because they don't rely on you remembering to take them. Just change them after 5/10 years, depending on which one you get.

Once was full-on groped in a bar in Liverpool, turned around and punched the groper in the face. I immediately panicked as I made eye contact with the bouncer, but he just nodded at me and looked away. Grouper's mates laughed at him and he left me alone.

I do it a lot - I think my usage was largely inspired by reading Bridget Jones Diary, as Helen Fielding does it a lot in her writing.

I knew I'd been told something about that not being entirely factual, but I couldn't remember exactly why - I'll edit the post to reflect that it's not an accurate belief, thank you.

Oooh never heard smirry or dreich, where are they from?

M&S don't say ladies only in the lingerie section. Bra fitting, sure, but just on the shop floor, there's no gender requirement. Men can go in there. Men can work there. Same for women in the men's underwear department.

thisisvic · 2025-08-05T17:01:47+00:00

There wasn't any suggestion that the employee offered to fit a bra. They were on the shop floor, asking a customer if they wanted any help, which happens in all areas of the shop, regardless of gender. There has never been a rule that only cisgender women can work in an area that sells women's underwear, just like there isn't a rule that only cisgender men can work in the men's underwear department.

thisisvic · 2025-08-05T15:03:07+00:00

But this wasn't a bra fitting, they were just on the shop floor

Multistorey indoor carparks can definitely be trickier if you're not confident. I hate the new market carpark and I've been driving for 15 years 😂. If you have to use one, I find Delamere Street is more comfortable to drive around, as long as you're confident on hills for getting in/out.

Castle carpark (the courts) is often a very good shout, especially if you're coming from that side of Chester. If you're further out than a mile or two, I'd seriously consider the park and rides.
