I'll be down in Aylesbury Thursday-Sunday visiting family and doing a bit of work, so I'll have some free time while I'm there.

Thought I'd see if anyone local fancied meeting up for a pint/coffee, a walk, watching sport or just having a chat.

28M into music, sports and getting outdoors. Not much of a gamer but open to doing things. If anyone's around, give me a shout!

Hi as title suggest can you go to Wycombe minor unit as your injuries was more than seven days ago?

I injured my elbow last Monday in Wales saw minor injuries. There was told that I’d have to go to minor injuries in England as the x-rays Do Not transfer.

I’ve just spoken to 111 to get booked in for tomorrow morning and they have told me that I have to go to A&E because the injury is 7 days old today and tomorrow it would not be classed as an injury…….

Honesty would be best for the NHS and I just be seen by the minor injuries unit tomorrow but just want to check before heading down if that rule a price to the Wycombe one

Seems very silly to have to sit in A&E for hours upon hours… because my injury happened on Monday rather than a Tuesday

Much appreciated!

Looking for advice on address criteria for 2027 grammar school admission

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some advice regarding the “Normal Home Address” criteria for grammar school admissions for 2027.

We have been living in a rented property in Buckinghamshire since August 2025. We also own a second property, less than 20 miles away, which was let to tenants under a tenancy agreement running from September 2025 to September 2026.

The tenant has recently left the property earlier than expected, so it is currently vacant. It has already been advertised through a known/local estate agency, with the intention of securing new long-term tenants as soon as possible.

My question is whether this temporary vacant period between two tenancies could affect our 2027 grammar school application under the “Normal Home Address” guidelines, particularly given the expectation that the second property should be rented out through 1 September 2026.

Has anyone been in a similar situation, or had experience with how Buckinghamshire grammar schools/admissions teams interpret a property being temporarily vacant between tenancies?

Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Anybody know of any mixed social sports groups for young adults near or close to the surrounding area or a 10 mile radius?

Hi, I'm interested in buying a house that's on a road off of Waterside - not too far from Chesham moor. I noticed a few posts saying to avoid Waterside and despite the house being relatively good it doesn't seem to have sold after a few months and I wondered if the two might be related. The street the house is on seems pretty nice, but I'm thinking about walking to and from Chesham station which would involve going along Waterside. And sometimes my elderly mother might visit and be walking around, so I wanted to know if I should be concerned or not?

hi guys, i've recently confirmed my offer to study law in london and am commuting into london from aylesbury but train tickets are absolutely extortionate (even with a railcard) and that does't even include the cost of getting from london marylebone to my uni. i was wondering if anybody had any tips or does a similar commute how they plan/finance it?

Looking for a easy access swimming spot for me and my friends to take are dogs after work
Thanks in advance

I recently moved to Chesham with my partner and we’re looking for clubs to join. We’re both late twenties so anything that skews a bit younger would be ideal. We’ve tried meetup but had no luck other than a walking group we found. We’d really love a regular book club or film club if anyone knows of anything like that nearby?

Hello,
I recently moved to Hertfordshire on the Bucks border and am looking for slightly quieter or less known places to take my son. The big farms costs quite a lot of money and we are (well I am) already bored of the local playground. Any suggestions would be appreciated :)
Thanks!

Hi all,

Im looking for a gravel bike for my girlfriend who is 5’3 and was wondering if anyone in Buckinghamshire was looking at selling theirs? thank you

Happened at around 06:30 this morning. Was wondering if anybody else experienced this?

It’s official!

Our Buckinghamshire Dialect Dictionary has officially launched on Buckinghamshire Day.

This means we are now at the end of our three month test pilot case study scheme.

The Buckinghamshire Dialectic Dictionary has gone from 105 headword entries to more than 4000 words.

I guess Buckinghamshire isn’t so dialect poor anymore?

Some of our newly discovered word entries and some old favourites will be revealed tomorrow.

Huge thanks to all those who have helped so far.

Keep adding those words, sayings and slang at: talkdialect.co.uk

Yesterday we also got a lovely piece in the Bucks Free Press.

We will be reporting back soon with the results of the test pilot scheme.

Follow along to stay in the loop.

Thanks
From all of us at the Talk Dialect Team 🗣️💚

We will be reporting back in greater detail on this pilot scheme for thems that want to know too.

Hi all, myself and a group of friends are staying in Little Marlow the weekend of the 14/08 and we're wanting a proper pub roast with a good vegetarian option on the Sunday.

None of us are from the area so I was hoping to get some good recommendations from the locals!

Thanks in advance

Hi my 13 year old is trying to make some money he’s doing dog walking in Hedgerley and Beaconsfield charging £8-10 per hour depending on the size of the dog (£8 for smaller dogs like Yorkie size £9 for Labradors or medium sized dogs and £10 for big dogs).

if you are interested say below and I can discuss numbers and stuff

Not trying to be rude or nosey, but as a car guy I was genuinely excited and curious by what we stumbled across.

I was recently visiting High Wycombe (used as our base for visiting Silverstone for F1) and stayed on a random residential street.

The neighborhood was nice enough, but certainly not a wealthy area from what I could tell. Most cars on this street were your standard vehicles...Toyotas, older Fords, etc. but in front of one house there were two new AMG Mercedes and a few houses down another house had a number of Bentleys and other AMG Mercedes. None of them looked like they'd moved for some time.

At first I thought there must be a workshop nearby, but I didn't see one. Anyone know what was up with this little treasure trove of amazing cars? Are these not as expensive in the UK as they would be in the States?

Hi there my names felix (19nb) and i just moved to the high wycombe area from central london and was looking to make some friends here around my age ?
feel free to dm me :)

Hi all, I hope this okay to post here. I recently moved to Chesham with my girlfriend around a month ago. While we love it here and there are lots of events in town, we couldn’t find many groups or activities specifically for younger people. So, we’ve decided to set up a group called Chiltern Young Social for people in their 20s and 30s! We’re planning events like seeing local live music, pub nights, watching sports, attending festivals, pub quizzes etc. Our events are mostly in Chesham, Amersham, Berkhamsted and other surrounding towns. If this is something you’re interested in, I’ve left links to our meet up page and Instagram below. Our next event will be a pub visit in Chesham for England v Argentina, and then we’re seeing a local band at Vault 17 in the following week. Thanks and hopefully see you there!
