EV charging at Sainsbury’s

I charged my car at Sainsbury’s today and I am 99% sure I didn’t pay. Has anyone else experienced this?

In the past I have had to put my card on the machine before it started, but today the card reader didn’t do anything and the car just started charging anyway?!

Odd alarm going off every hour in Tunbridge Wells

Hello everyone,

Is anyone else hearing a strange alarm going off regularly? I’m around the York Road, Dudley Road, Lime Hill Road area.

It’s two loud quick bursts. They aren’t deafening here, but must be pretty loud for someone near by. It reminds me of the noise made in the hatch in lost!

Any thoughts as to what it could be?

Best area for trick or treating?

Hello, we recently moved to central Tunbridge wells, and are looking for a good neighbourhood to bring the kids out for trick or treat. In our old area we lived in (south London) some streets were very good, while others didn’t seem to participate.

Any suggestions on a good collection of streets or a particular area to bring the kids to?

Subbuteo World Cup Spectators

Hi

This might be a bit of a long shot.......

I just heard on Radio 4 about the upcoming Subbuteo 'World Cup', and connected events, in Tunbridge Wells over the weekend. I've looked on the 'official' event sites about attending as a spectator, they're not that informative.....

Does anyone know if someone can attend as a spectator? Don't mind buying a ticket etc.

Looks like they're happening at Victoria Place, and a sports centre.

Thanks!

What’s the night life like for a thirty something? And what time are the last trains from London?

Considering moving to Tunbridge Wells, I’m looking at Kent as a whole and was wondering what the night life is like in the town, and how late the trains run from London

Been to Tunbridge Wells a few times over the years and I really like it.

Would you live in High Brooms?

Apologies in advance to anyone who lives in HB, but I've never heard anyone say anything particularly complimentary about HB. Those who live in TW, would you choose to live there if you ever found an amazing house with more space?

Update: thanks all for the responses so far.

Survey on your views of refugees (18+; ~7 mins to complete; British participants only)

Hello, we are a group of psychology researchers from the University of Kent, UK. It would be a huge help if anyone from Britain who is interested would fill out our quick survey (18+ years old only) about your views of refugees.

Fill out the survey here: https://universityofkent.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_4U6y8pi1se8YjrM

We are posting here because we hope to collect responses from British participants with various political perspectives and backgrounds. Please let us know if you would like a summary of your responses once the data collection is complete.

The survey takes ~7 minutes to complete, and we are happy to respond to any queries or questions. Please private message us to avoid giving away the point of the study to others. 

Thanks for your time. 

Edit: The survey is now closed! Thank you very much for your time.

St James area

Hi everyone!

I’m house hunting in Tunbridge Wells and a lot of places I am seeing in my price range are in the St James area. When I Google st James, a lot of information comes up saying it’s not safe/not a great area. However, when I go there, there are cute shops and bars and it seems ok.

Can I get an opinion of St James from the locals?

Thanks

ANPR cameras

Does anyone know where there are ANPR cameras? I have a collection order on my car which I'm disputing, but whilst I wait for it to be sorted, I need to know where they are!

Walking through Tunbridge Wells common in the evening/at night

We are coming to Tunbridge Wells in December to do the Polar Express experience that goes from Tunbridge Wells West.

I'm looking at booking the Travel Lodge on Mount Ephraim for the one night we will stay as its a fair bit cheaper than the Premier Inn for our dates. That would mean the quickest walking route to the station would take us through the common.

On the way there we will probably go at about 3pm, but after the experience we will probably eat at Smith & Western & walk back to the hotel after that, which would likely be after 9pm.

Is it safe to walk through the common at this time of night in the dark? Is it lit up at all? It looks to be a fairly long walk if sticking to the main roads otherwise. There are two families, so 4 adults & 3 kids aged 3, 8 and 9.

Thanks

Best pub to watch the Euros?

Just the title really, what's a nice place to watch the games? Not just England matches either... Ideally not too rowdy but obviously it's a national tournament so understand it being busy!

Where to go on a visit

I am visiting with my wife as we won a hotel night in Tunbridge Wells this Friday evening .

We are only staying one night and it’s a fair drive so won’t have long but want to make the most of our stay. We will likely spend one day just checking out the town and local shops.

What are your recommendations on what else we should try and see while we are there?

I’d love to hear your ideas of things we could see while we are there that we won’t be able to see elsewhere.

Thanks
