Are there any restaurants/food outlets that do their own delivery?

I sometimes order from FiveAkhis Express. They have their own app and do their own delivery but I'd love to find others that do this.

UberEats and other apps charge ridiculous fees.

I recently heard of chunkeez which I believe does their own delivery.

Places to walk after dark?

Hello people!

Apologies if this has been discussed before. As it’s getting dark very early now I’d love to know if there are well lit areas where people can go for walks? I live in Bletchley and it’s not particularly inviting and doesn’t feel as safe.

I can drive so distance is not a problem.

Thanks in advance!

Moving to Milton Keynes

Hi everyone,

Probably a post thats’s been repeated but keen to get thoughts based on my personal circumstances.

I have secured a role in London and potentially looking to move to MK and commute 3 days per week.

I am moving from Scotland so MK does make it more convenient to travel back by car. I am moving with my partner and two kids aged 1 and 4 so access to nurseries and schools are important.

I have researched into MK West - Shenleys, TMA, Great Holm, Stony Stratford although generally houses seem out of my budget of £450k (4-bed).

Wolverton ticks my budget box and I have read predominantly positive reviews but how are the schools and are there parts of the area I should avoid?

Ideally looking something close to one of the train stations, within walking distance or a short drive away without significant parking costs.

Also keen to get your thoughts on other areas around MK that I should consider i.e Oldbrook, Newport Pagnell, Bletchley.

Thanks :)

Any good hairdressers or salons in MK for men with medium / long length hair?

I've just moved here but my old barber warned me that not many high street barbers can cut longer hair. Are there any good unisex salon's?

My hair is curly/wavy too, if that matters

Motorcycle Valet?

Hello,

I am in the process of preparing my motorcycle for winter storage, I live in a flat building so I don't have access to a hose to be able to clean my bike. Does anyone know of any places that offer motorcycle valet? I don't really want to use those gas station ones since they use power washers.

Thank you!

Book cabinets in MK

I found a few book cabinets around Milton and I was so happy with them. Many great books. Where can I find more? I love exchange books and get new interesting ones for return.

Are there council houses in nicer areas of mk (Loughton, stony, shenleys, etc)?

I’m looking to move, but I have quite a low income, so I can get council houses. I’m in a very rough bit on cmk, and am looking to move somewhere a bit nicer. Thanks everyone

SOCIALISING RAHHH

20, bartender, and bloody bored.

Obviously I’m working every weekend so can’t go out on the busy periods.

Was thinking of maybe getting a group out on a weekday?? Could be fun. More the merrier.

EE broadband vs Rebel broadband in whitehouse

Hey

Moving to whitehouse soon and looking to get a stable internet provider for the times I'll be wfh. I have EE phone contract which although I haven't had much issues with, in the area in whitehouse has really poor signal. I'm wondering if the broadband would be different.

The alternative is rebel internet, which is much less known but has decent reviews overall - https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/rebelinternet.uk

It's more expensive than EE, but for me the most important things are stability/reliability and excellent support if things do ever go wrong. Some other things to note:

  1. I will use my own router (ubiquity gateway max + access points)
  2. Looking at getting around 1GB speeds
  3. It's a new build, so no existing broadband service activated.
  4. All lines are owned by BT, so it does limit my overall choice.

Has anyone tried either of these broadband services and can recommend which one is best?

MKC train station parking - how much does it cost these days?

What the title says! I’ve been living in Birmingham for a few years and this will be the first time I need to park at the train station in years (from about 11am to midnight on a Monday). Had a look online on the Saba website and it says £25…surely not?? I remember it used to be around a fiver for a day?
