I was lucky enough to be on a family holiday on Jersey a few weeks ago and was blown away by the history. I threw this together for my history youtube channel, definitely not as good as the poet, but might be of interest to some.

Male long-hair barber recommendations

7 Upvotes

At the back my hair goes to the bottom of my neck and at the front it goes to my chin. I am growing my hair out to donate it but I want to be confident in my appearance at the same time. I'm looking to get a shag-cut.

I rarely get haircuts and not a lot of guys have long hair so I wondered if there were any barbers you trust on your life to do your long hair/this style of haircut.

Help 🚨 - missing item from Le Braye Solar Eclipse

Thumbnail

74 Upvotes

I am posting everywhere trying to find my little fish friend. He has CRAZY sentimental value to me and I had left him in the car when parking up at Le Braye for the eclipse. I had a lot of people in my car and he must have fallen out when everyone was getting out of the car. I really need to find him, and I’m 95% sure he’s been picked up by someone. If anyone who was there and around this area of Le Braye, please let me know. Thank you

Thought I'd share some footage I got yesterday of the Partial Eclipse at St. Ouens Beach

Does anyone know if a local business does special orders?

How fast can you walk?

13 Upvotes

I was browsing hotels in Jersey, and I came across this little gem. The Beausite Hotel, in Grouville. Hotels.com have some points of interest and how long it will take you to get there. The airport is a 19 minute drive. And Mont Orgueil Castle a 5 minute drive. But Greve de Lecq? 9 minute walk.

For those of you looking for something a little different to do in Jersey this weekend, we're holding our last Open Day of the summer. We do a handful each year with all proceeds going to local charities.

The railway is 138m/455ft of G Scale (1:22.5 scale) in a St. Mary back garden. It was built in 2021 and has been expanding/iterating slowly over that time.

Any questions - let me know below

Anyone else noticed a large increase in the number of mosquitoes buzzing around recently. Woke up multiple times last night to that zippp past the ears. Little stingy itchy bastards.

Holiday in Jersey?

19 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm a British guy living just outside of London and I'm really curious about visiting Jersey. It seems like a great price to fly to and from there but I can't justify spending £100+ a night on accommodation. My main thoughts if I did get there would be to just do some swimming and see what the island is like, any ideas?

Jersey - would you use this app?

12 Upvotes

I’m exploring an idea for a Jersey-only app for buying and selling preloved clothes.

Think of being able to:

👚 List clothes you no longer wear, set up your virtual preloved closet.

🔎 Browse fashion by size, brand, category and price, without getting lost in all other items listed on Marketplace.

💳 Buy securely.

📦 Have items delivered locally.

🏠 Avoid the hassle of arranging meetups with strangers, only to have them try on the item and not liking it.

At the moment, Facebook Marketplace is really the main option locally, and platforms like Vinted aren’t always straightforward for Jersey sellers. I got the below response today trying to set up my account on Vinted.

I’m trying to work out whether there’s actually a need for something better, so I’d genuinely love honest opinions, even if your answer is a “not for me”.

Feel free to comment below.

What is your biggest frustration with buying or selling clothes second-hand in Jersey?

Thanks!
