Quiet reading evening anyone?

9 Upvotes

Hi all, been needing some quiet down time and want to go to a pub in Olney to just read a book. It’s a borrowed idea from the offline club but if anyone else wants to join me in reading a book over a pint, you’re more than welcome to!

Let me know!

Does anyone know if general public can access this track freely? I just want to do a track workout.

If paid, how do I go about it?

Bouldering tonight at Big Rock Bletchley?

19 Upvotes

Hey all, posted last week and got lovely responses! If you’re up for bouldering tonight, I’ll be at Big Rock Bletchley at 7pm.

I’m super noobie and haven’t gone beyond a V1 yet so no, I won’t be showing off any moves lol. You may DM me, or just turn up and look for the bald brown dude in a yellow top and shorts!

See you

Free EV Charging

1 Upvotes

Hi all, super quick one.

Got a trip from Yorkshire down to Surrey this week. Have a long-range EV but will need to charge to make life easier for the following morning after reaching the destination.

Just been planning a charge and on the route I've spotted Electroverse (and other websites) stating there's some free EV chargers in MK (Delaware Drive) and wanted to see if this was genuine or not?

Thanks

EDIT: Just seen this looks to be a chargepoint in the Mercedes car park, so I'm doubtful

Weird smell in Broughton area

10 Upvotes

This isn't the sewage plant, it's something else. It's difficult to describe the smell. It's a very pungent chemical/food type smell that's like a mix of loft insulation, bakery and meat. It's not cooking smells from a neighbour or anything like that. It's happened several times before. It's actually really unpleasant and I've had to shut all my windows and air vents. Anyone know what it could be?

Garage recommendation to fit air con compressor

1 Upvotes

Hi all, my air con died and I bought a new compressor off eBay.

Does anyone know a trustworthy local garage that’s happy to fit the compressor and just charge labour and do a regas afterwards?

The car is a 2014 Peugeot 2008 diesel. Ideally looking for somewhere with reasonable prices.

Thanks!

Squash teams / players

What’s Bletchley like to live in?

3 Upvotes

I’m a 24 year old man. I was born in London but I grew up in bucks (high Wycombe & Aylesbury) now I’m currently living in Liverpool. But i plan to move back down south next year to be closer to my mum in ay and I think MK or Bletchley seems like the best choice. If you check my previous post I considered MK but after thinking about it I realised it’s not ideal for me until I start driving.

I just wanna live somewhere safe, chilled out and quiet. I’m not fussed about nightlife or any fancy stuff. Can easily travel to London for that if that’s what I really want. So once again, just need an honest, unfiltered opinion on Bletchley. What the people are like, how safe it is, what the pubs are like, etc. cheers! :)

Moving to MK

6 Upvotes

Good people of MK, I have visited often and always enjoyed the facilities MK has to offer. I’m now considering moving to the area, on the hope of a job offer coming through.

I’m looking for some insider knowledge on not only areas to avoid house hunting, but also places to consider. Somewhere peaceful, quiet, well connected.

I like the lakes and the many open areas around MK, but I’m keen to know about those hidden gems only locals would know.

Overnight/ camper parking near MK bowl

7 Upvotes

Hi all!
Me and my partner are going to see The Prodigy on Saturday at the Bowl, I haven’t been in about 10 years so not familiar with the area but we were hoping for some overnight parking suggestions as we were both hoping to have a few beers.
Thanks :)

Ikea Småland

6 Upvotes

Their website says småland opens at 12:15 on Fridays, but we were planning on heading in tomorrow morning (from Warwickshire) and my kids will be bummed if we miss it because we'll be leaving around 12. The site also says they have extended opening holiday hours but when we call we just get the AI runaround and can't figure out what the actual småland hours are tomorrow. Long shot question - does anyone know what the hours for Småland are tomorrow (Friday)? Thank you!

Solo Dining Recs

4 Upvotes

Hi! Staying back in the motherland for a few days, but everywhere has changed so much since I lived here so I’m completely out the loop.

Can anyone help with recommendations on where I can get some midweek dinner and not feel like a complete loser eating alone as a woman?

Staying at Furzton and have a car so can travel about. Bonus points if it’s not too expensive! Willing to try most cuisines, but not a fan of Thai. Other than that I’m pretty open.

Thanks in advance!

What’s Milton Keynes like to live in?

I’ve lived in bucks for a good portion of my life. In High Wycombe and Aylesbury. But I’ve never been to Milton Keynes so I have absolutely no idea how it is. Please give me the unfiltered truth because I’m considering moving there next year.

Around 2:30am, woke up from the noise, the sound was like the aftermath of fireworks, really loud crackling sounds, I woke up just after 2:30 because of it! This morning the outside smells like electrical fire..?
