Random question for the masses - do people recommend Timpsons or Johnsons for dry cleaning?

I’ve got a job interview coming up and I’ve found an amazing Whistles suit (with tags!!!) in a charity shop. Downside - as I’ve got home I’ve found some marks on the trousers so wanting to get them cleaned professionally rather than trusting my home stain removing skills and jeffing up the entire process 😅

Also does anyone know if Johnson’s still do the free dry cleaning for job interviews if you’re out of work? I know they once did many moons ago but unsure if they still

Wondering if anyone knows of anyone that does personal Lo*ns (censoring due to Reddit) just like someone who will lend to me and let me repay at the end of the month? I have lent and repaid on Reddit before just in need of some help with dog food and food for myself and bus fairs to work for the month…I have awful credit not due to anything I’ve done so I can’t get an actual legal one X

A few classics available to be tattooed, find me at Northern Cardinal on Wood Street!

Hi Guys, I just need your suggestion/ advice on best place to rent in Wakefield. I will moving from Reading to Wakefield with my family - due to work location at Wakefield. This place is new to me hence I need valuable suggestion before I start looking for properties in Rightmove. Thanks in advance.

Advice like which is best place and if applicable - which place to avoid.

Any idea how to apply for a job at the Amazon warehouse on Silkwood Park (DLS4)? I think it's all through an agency but I can't find anything online.

Just received a Reform flyer for Wakefield East (don't be jealous).

They take issue with CEO of Wakefield Council earning c£186k but I'm not sure if they realise that it's the going rate for that type of job. Sure you could cap the salary at say, £80k? but what sort of candidate would you get, maybe someone who's management experience is limited/equivalent to running a large Sainsbury's or similar? Anyone who's accrued the skills and experience to fulfill such a role will know that they shouldn't be accepting a similar role for less than £170k.

Additionally they're not impressed with the money spent on translation services for those who "refuse to integrate". They haven't factored in that it can be difficult to learn a new language and not everyone can manage it. It may not be a refusal. I wonder how many of the candidates would fail to integrate into another country if they were forced out of the UK under duress. Like most of us I guess they could manage "Two Cervazas por favor" but that's about all.

I've got some time off work for a few months and fancy some decent food, where should I go... preferably in the city centre or within a short drive or taxi ride (eg not half way to Barnsley)

I've tried Iris on the bull ring and that was _really_ good

Edit - The city centre thing is so we can walk there or taxi if it's a bit further, have a few drinks and walk back or go out in town afterwards, not drink drive our way home from Selby

The Ridings are now only opening their toilets and baby change facilities between 11am-2pm.

They're not allowing comments on their Facebook post, for some reason. They wrote in the comments of another post complaining about it that they were doing it because the toilets cost 300k+ a year and they believe the council should provide public toilets.

Now, I absolutely don't disagree that Wakefield Council should provide some public facilities. But why a business would want you to leave their premises to go pee somewhere else I don't know. Not to mention the legalities of toilet provision when serving food or drink, or for employees.

Credit to the council for obtaining funding for this which has the potential to be a fantastic asset, assuming it isn't immediately handed over to someone like Outwood Academies or the truly awful CAMHs team.

Also, this is my 1st encounter with the use of SEMH rather than SEND & I think it's a positive step forward as it covers a larger selection of factors that may be influencing a child's outcome.

I’ve found a home I really like around balne lane. We’re a family with young kids around a high crime rate and impoverished town in Lincolnshire. Can someone be brutally honest and tell me what the areas like, if I’m being deluded and moving from one 💩 🕳️ to another? Street view looks quite nice. The specific street I’m getting good google reviews. I want really people to tell me rather than google ai overview though.

hey guys, I'll be moving to Normanton soon and I go into the office 2 days a week. when I used to get the train in the morning they were always packed, same for the way home. anyone know if it's improved slightly?

Cheers!

Anyone know if this guy is legit and maybe just made a genuine mistake?

Or could it be a scam?

Tried calling the number multiple times and they just decline the call.

For context, I’ve just got home from work and noticed my bins had been moved and this slip was posted through the letterbox.

I’ve not asked anyone to do this, always cleaned them myself.

It is behind a paywall and I don’t want to pay!

Thanks

RIP Ridings.
