Best place to buy bulgur wheat?

Hi just moved to Coventry and just wondering the best place to bulk buy bulgur wheat at a good price?

Supermarkets tend to be overpriced and sell only a very small quantity hence I thought I'd ask here thanks

Pool Meadow safety at night

Booked a morning flight in London and the only way there seems to be a middle of the night bus from Pool Meadow.

Wanted to know if it’d be safe for me to wait for the bus at Pool Meadow (no idea if other people will be around). And if I should take an Uber to the station or wait 30 mins after alighting from the last bus from where I stay.

Both not ideal but worried if the Uber would drop me outside the station where I’d potentially be vulnerable to attacks.

Need advice regarding areas

Hi all! My family and I are considering moving to Coventry. We found several properties we'd be interested in, and will travel for viewings in the coming weeks. We have some questions regarding those areas. I have seen the information provided by the bot, and upon searching the sub, have not found related posts from the past year. So here we go:

  • Potters Green:

from Google streetview seems like a nice, quiet, neighbourly residential area, but we could not find too much information about it. It is neighbouring some areas with questionable reputation, and we'd like to know if Potters Green is a safe place to live for a family with young children, and how well connected it is regarding public transport. Bonus if you're local and can say a couple of words about amenities and nursuries in this area.

  • Tile hill:

Pretty much the same questions, property is near Tile Hill, just south of Tile Hill Lane.

Thanks in advance

New to Coventry

Hello all,

I am new to Coventry (arrived this week itself from India). As a next step I am looking for accommodation. Wherever I look, it's like 5+ bedrooms house. I don't know if it's common here. I really don't wish to share with so many people due to problem of sharing the common kitchen. Do you know where I should search and are really the larger houses the way to survive here.

The next part I want to discuss is regarding the jacket shopping. I come from that part of India where 15-20Β°C is seen as cold temperatures. It's different here. So I seek your suggestions on buying a good jacket suitable for worst winters here. I have been to many shops and I see a very wide range (20-200 GBP cost) that I am very confused on which one to buy.

Thanks!

I moved to CV from Singapore, is there anything I should know?

I recently moved from Singapore to Cov, and.... its alright I guess

There are some things I definitely like, but the colder weather and lack of spicy food will take time to get used to

I'm not really used to the idea of "bad areas" and I dont know the main things to do here

Anything I should know?

Where can I buy candy apples in Coventry?

Hi Reddit. I’ve been craving candy apples lately and was wondering if anyone knows where I can find them in Coventry? I’ve checked a few supermarkets but haven’t had much luck. Are there any local shops, markets, or seasonal stalls that sell them, especially now that it’s after Halloween? Thanks in advance!

Looking for friends in cov

Hi (18F), Very queer lol, i’m looking for friends in coventry. I’m starting uni in 2025 and kind of want to give myself a head start in finding friends. I’m already from here but i’m quite the introvert and making friends has never come easy for me. I like an array of things, from animals, anime, clubbing and raving, gardening lol. Simply just want people to hang out with or to chat to even if it’s online.
