Any Japanese language tutors in or near Coventry?

Hi. I've taken Japanese classes in the past (a few years ago) at Warwickshire College in Leamington Spa. After a long break in learning, I started studying again just on my own at home. I really need some more structure to my learning, as well as speaking practice. Does anyone know of any public lessons happening locally, or of any good tutors in the area? I've tried online searches, but the local institutions don't appear to have classes, and the only tutors I can find are through subscription based websites. I really prefer face to face learning, rather than online. Thanks in advance.

(In case it makes a difference, I'm 39 years old, male)

Is KFC in Coventry Really This Bad?

I ordered a meal from the KFC on Walsgrave Road in Coventry, and honestly, it was the worst food I’ve had in years. I got a meal with original chicken, wings, and a fillet, and it was absolutely dreadful.

Everything was incredibly oily and greasy to the point where it was almost inedible. Some of the pieces felt undercooked and tasted awful, especially the wings. I couldn't finish half of it.

Is this a common issue at KFC in Coventry, or was I just unlucky with this location? I’ve had better KFC from other places, but this was next level bad.

Anyone else had a similar experience?

Anyone know anywhere to get some cool posters?

Title says it all really. I’d like some cool and artsy posters for fairly cheap for my room. Unframed would be great. I’ve tried HMV and CeX and whatnot and not really found anything I’ve liked.
