Dodgy Driving instructor -mooshy/mushy

I was at the test centre today and there where a few driving instructors talking and this one Asian man, old with long grey beard was straight up bragging to another instructor that he cares more about the money than his students passing their test

Thats not the end of the world - however what he did say which irked me to no end is that he lets his students take thier tests and doesnt tell them they are not ready (so he can get more lessons out of them)

Unfortunately I do not know what school/org he belongs too.

edit: his name is Mooshi (dont know how to spell it)

Anyone else fed up of fireworks near Avenham and city centre

For anyone living near Avenham Park and city centre - the fireworks have been going on for weeks. Today (5th Nov) it’s obviously bad. Anyone else has had enough of this? They do it in the middle of the park too. Almost every night.

Anyone who can help with used car evaluation

Hi Everyone. I am looking to buy a 2nd hand car. I found a decent car at a dealer today. But I have no idea if that a fit car or if the price is correct. Can you recommend someone local who can help with car evaluation and suggest how much do they charge for such a service. It's a BMW series 5 automatic car.

Also, anything specific that I should look for when buying an used car. I am looking at MOT history, service history HPI check, Tyre condition, battery information and other basic information.

Thanks in advance.

Edit : Also does anyone know what level I can haggle down the car too. Is 10-15% haggling down reasonable?

Looking for some friends or talking people

Would love to make friends near my age (19) to get into deep talks and maybe do some things.

I am into psychology, psychiatry, Eastern Orthodox and religion in general, hiking and trying to do good things for community.

I am very into Eastern Orthodoxy, so if you dislike religion we are not a good match haha.

ISO preston arsenal invincibles cup

Hiya! A bit rogue but my boyfriend travelled from London to see the Preston Arsenal match and on his way back saw the invincibles cups on social media. He was bummed to have missed out and I was wondering if anybody had one that they’d be willing to part with? It would make his day! I’m happy to pay incl. postage! Thanks so much!!

(If this post breaks the rules please delete, sorry!)

Walk-in-clinic Preston

Hello, I’ve recently had some unexpected medical issues and was wondering if there’s a walk-in medical clinic in Preston. I’m also open to driving a bit if there’s a good clinic outside of Preston.

Karaoke bars

I’m organising a Christmas doo with some mates. Long story short:

Is there any pubs (other than the golden cross) in Preston which do karaoke on a Friday night?

EDIT: there is 28 of us. I looked at booths at level near the bus station but they can only take 20 max
