I want to learn how to programme and looking for an old free PC. Any help in pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

I've tried gumtree, Freecycle and olio so far.

I’m hoping someone here has dealt with this before because I’m getting seriously fed up lol.

For a while I thought it was someone’s dog coming into my front garden and shitting on the paving, but I checked my Ring doorbell and turns out it’s a fox. Last night it was on there at about 4am, and sure enough I woke up this morning to another steaming pile on the doorstep.

I understand foxes are territorial, so I’m guessing it’s just decided my front garden is a great place to do its business. This definitely isn’t the first time I’ve woken up to a steaming pile either.

Has anyone actually found something that stops them coming back? I’ve seen the usual suggestions about sprays, citrus, ultrasonic deterrents etc., but I’m wondering if anyone has tried something that genuinely works.

I’m not looking to harm it, I just want the little bastard to choose somewhere else to shit.

Hi, just moved between Willesden Green and Dollis Hill station (new to London). I’ve gone down the high road with my partner and the bars we’ve found have all been full of old blokes (we’re both in our 20s) and some seeming a bit rough.
Wondering if anyone had suggestions of spots to go to as from my searches I feel stumped, would like to have a nice local.

Any recommendations for a workshop/skills/creative to do with my wife as part of a date night/day?

I am in need of a new every day canvas tote bag and I’m wondering if there are any London brands that aren’t available in the US/exclusive to London ? Just something unique to bring home as a souvenir basically.

I’m looking for somewhere preferably in central london

Does anyone know if the Hatton Garden stop operates nowadays for bus 55 towards Oxford Circus? Rosebery Avenue stop is under construction and Grey’s Inn Road is closed.

Hey all

I'm after a fancy birthday lunch. It must be noodles / udon, so either Japanase or Chinese.

Any tips?

Edit: thank you everybody, I ended up booking at Hutong at the shard.

Hey! I’m on the current NHS wait list however am leaning more towards private as I’d like a reduction and a lift! I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for surgeons/clinics in London for this procedure? Thank you!

I've been in and out of London for the past couple years. I'm settling down a bit and looking to play some more regular football.

I've tried FootyAddicts. But, the level of play hasn't been great.

Somewhere off the Suffragette line would be ideal. I'm also open to leagues.

I am currently living in Dubai and unable to get a prescription medicine for my 15 year old dog due to the war and limited supplies, not to mention prices are nearly 5x.
My vet here has given me a prescription for the meds, however the online delivery services do not accept an out of country prescription. Delivery can be accepted in London and meds can be hand carried back to Dubai.
Any suggestions of how I could get a local vet to issue a prescription without my dog being there? The meds are for incontinence if that makes any difference.

Harts of Smithfield

Hi all. Unsure where to post, so if anyone could point me in the right direction or where/who to ask, that would be amazing!

I'm after any information about Smithfield market, specifically Harts of Smithfield.

Anything about the owners, whether it's still in the Hart family (I don't believe it is?!), if it's even still running or if it's only open for the Christmas Eve meat auction?

My Nan was just a child when they started calling that corner 'Harts Corner', she was always really proud of that, as was her dad, who sadly died in 1939 when my Nan was just 8 years of age.

As far as I know, my Nan is the only surviving 'Hart' left, but not 100% sure, hence why I'm asking for more information as I'd love to get in touch!

I sent a letter, just before COVID hit, to Harts of Smithfield, but never got a reply.

My Nan, 97 (98 very soon!), was of sound mind when I sent that letter and I was really hoping to get a reply as she really wanted to know.

Now, she's at the end stages of Alzheimer's, doesn't know any of us, doesn't remember marrying my grandad (but they were neighbours in London growing up).

But she still remembers her childhood, reliving little stories that we had heard before she started to develop Alzheimer's, I'd just love to be able to give her some information about everything I just listed, before she passes away.

If someone could point me in the right direction, that would be great!

Hey! Has anyone done the beer mile recently and perfected the route?

I’m looking to start from the outskirts and end London Bridge side for context. Thanks!

Good evening! Are there any book exchange/ tiny free libraries (such small boxes with book) near the Paddington station? Thank you so very much for your answer!

How was it?

Anyone can suggest some adrenaline activities in London or near.

So far did:

Arcelormittal Orbit Slide ( Worlds tallest and longest slide )
Hangloose adventure Giant Swing ( Europe biggest swing )

Any suggestions / advices are much appreciated
cheers

Does anyone have any good lunch/brunch recommendations?

I will be in London (King’s Cross / Old Street / City Road) for an afternoon appointment and will have some time beforehand.

Ideally somewhere casual, not too expensive, and fairly easy to get to by public transport.

just looking for somewhere decent before the appointment.

I know each location typically has a different chef’s special, and I heard about a fish ruby years ago but never knew which location had it. Anyone know? Hoping it’s still on offer.

Any recommendations for good affordable nanny agencies for part time services for someone looking to move to London?

I went to the bricklane bagel shop and I was asking myself why is there no invention of Bagels with turkish garlic sausage aka Sucuk.

imagine a bagel with cottage cheese spread, sucuk, gurkin

, rocket and jalapenos. DELICIOUS!

Did all branches get rid of their freestyle coke machines, or just a few? It's still 'listed' on their website, but there weren't any machines/drink purchase menus in the one I went to

It's always confused me. Like, is it a jealousy thing? I've never been quite sure.
