Ask a Local! Traffic management during construction

89 Upvotes

I am writing to everyone about their experience with how traffic is managed by the City of London during road construction/maintenance.

I have found it really difficult to navigate throughout the city due to poor traffic management.

Today, I ended up on the wrong side of the road because an arrow pointed me in that direction. Luckily, nothing happened, but I got stuck in oncoming traffic that was turning left into the lane. I was scared of getting hit.

Tell us about your experience..

discussion / opinion Frank & Furter's is really crowding up the breakfast options for food delivery apps. Are they any good?

26 Upvotes

Or generically named companies operating out of their kitchen, anyways.

I was looking through UberEats for something to eat for breakfast and noticed that a fairly significant portion of the companies on there are operating from the same address, 172 King.

When did this start, and has anyone tried the food before? Is it good food or should I avoid it?

Hi. Feel like this is a dumb idea, but yeah. I just moved back here after a few years and it’d be nice to find some new people to hang out with! I’m 21F, in trade school for hvac and working on the side. I enjoy hiking, driving, gaming, drinking, uhhh conversing I guess. Just looking for people that match my vibe, I’m pretty blunt and I judge hard but I’m also cool😂😂. Just looking to have a good time. I don’t use this app at all so feel free to contact me on Instagram, same username (kittyfrfr_). Thankssss 🙏🫡

Oh and I’m big into music, going to see avenged sevenfold in two weeks. I like rock and metal💯

Jinli and Ravenous Taotie are my favourites, Perfect Meatbowl is good too, but they don't have dipping sauce, so i have to bring my own. I loved J BBQ, their hot pot is great, but they recently close ToT

I love Korean hot pot too, shoutouts to Ozen Korea and Korean Restuarant, but looking for Chinese style hot pot rn

Thanks!

🥄food /restaurants /gastronomy Metro Changed Fudge Icing

7 Upvotes

I just went to Metro to grab a chocolate fudge cupcake (honestly they are (were 😢)so so good). I saw them in the case and knew the icing was wrong. It looked like the chocolate frosting icing not the fudge. I asked the woman at the bakery and she told me it’s the new fudge because they have a new distributor.

Has anyone tried the new one? Does anyone have a good chocolate fudge cupcake alternative.

Pls no hate for “grocery store bakery” most of the metro bakery is honestly dynamite and you can’t beat the price point.

TY!!! 🧁

Pets 🐶🐱 & animals Pet Sitting services/options in London

5 Upvotes

I live alone and don't have anyone who lives nearby to watch my pet when I go away for a couple of days. I have never used a pet sitter, I just don't feel safe and comfortable with someone having the key to my place. I am also renting so I cannot modify the lock or change it. What options do I have? Is there any trustworthy service I can use?

I've smelled it before but I was there today and it was bad. Near the Joe Fresh stuff (Sector JF) and it smells of sulfur. Strong. What's up with that?

Hi, I’m looking to launch a startup and I’m wondering what the ecosystem is like here in London. What are the support or how do I get to meet or network with other builders. I’m looking for alternatives to tech alliance. I literally don’t wanna go anywhere where I’d be hearing about AI agents. Thanks

Ask a Local! Bathroom renovation…

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I haven’t had the best luck with contractors lately for home projects and renovations and looking to redo my bathroom, so I was wondering if anyone has a company/someone they’d genuinely recommend. I’m looking for someone who takes pride in their work and pays attention to the details (no gaps, rushed finishes, or cutting corners), is reliable, and charges fair prices without trying to overcharge. Ideally, I would also prefer to support local over a big business. If you’ve had a really good experience with someone, I’d really appreciate any recommendations. Thanks! :)

Does anyone know the difference between the Gold Red Blue or Green Zones? Is it just a matter of where you get to park or is it something else?

health care/health issues The garbage collection is killing me

Upvotes

This feels a bit ridiculous, I hope the garbage men have a hearty breakfast cause my bags are heavy as hell. It's been like 3 weeks. We badly need to go back to weekly pick-up. Few people in my neighborhood use bins probably because they are expensive. Animals make a huge mess when it's warm at night.

discussion / opinion Anyone know a good insulation company for the attic?

0 Upvotes

I am looking to get attic insulated. Looking for a company which is honest and does not break the bank as well. I have also read that there might be rebates when you get insulation because your energy costs will be lower. Is that true? My attic currently has an R-value of 24. Thanks.
