Does anyone know how the new Drive In/Drive Out automated parking works at the Oracle Riverside Parking? You have to register on their website and subscribe for a 12 months thing but do they charge you anything for it or just when you go to park you get charged? Thanks
It’s my boyfriends birthday tomorrow and we are long distance, so I don’t know Reading at all. Any suggestions for things to do are most welcome. Thanks :)
Can’t think of anything worse than going to a pub/bar/club for NYE in Reading (I’m in my mid thirties). Also not a fan of fireworks.
Are there any alternative NYE events that are a bit more wholesome / set the tone for the coming year? Or just a little bit different?
I saw a yoga thing in a nearby town but would rather stay more local!
It's new home, by the church by Market Place.
What on earth is going on around Oxford Road at the moment? Sounds like some crazy tribal drums and lots of screaming
Heya
New bus route for me to work is on the 2a, going from three firs way in the morning towards centre of town, just want to be sure I get the bus on the right side of the road to do that, is it near the Tesco or is it the other one?
Never has any customers, full of owners all the time, all drive really nice cars, they have a sign saying "Call anytime to get a bag dropped within 15 minutes"
How has this obvious drug front not been shut down yet?
Hi everyone,
I’m seeking advice and recommendations for a reliable damp surveyor. Here’s the situation:
In my home, I’ve noticed damp on a wall that’s connected to a shower room on the other side. I’m unsure if this is caused by water penetration (like a grout/seal issue or a plumbing leak) or if it’s traditional rising damp.
I want to get a professional opinion before deciding on repairs or renovations. If anyone has had a similar issue or can recommend a good damp surveyor, I’d really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!
I'm catching the train today around 12:30 and I'm wondering how long the service is at Wendy's to see if I could have a quick burger before I leave. Anyone's got any idea how long they take to serve?
anybody know of an nhs dentist in reading taking on new patients?
busted a tooth, and private care is really damned spendy.
Only seen a couple on Google maps, however not fitting criteria due to price or distance.
Im relocating gym to either Buzz or the new Unleashed Performance on Forbury road. Unfortunately neither of these gyms offer their own parking, and I’m not looking forward to paying £2 a day to park (If I even manage to get a space during busier hours).
Thanks all!
Is blacks still open? Live not too far away and need to get something for a winter trip. Thank you.
How’s the University of Reading? Considering going to there to study English literature.
I was initially thinking of a good Xmas sandwich - Shed vibes or similar but then why discriminate against anything not in bread. Anyone seen or know of any good festive specials around Reading and mind sharing? If you have pictures even better!
We’re giving away 4 free tickets to the Cinderella pantomime at The Hexagon in Reading this December. You can enter completely free at www.brainboxlearning.co.uk. Competition closes 16th December. Good luck!
I've just moved into Reading - was wondering if there are any gyms close (<20min walking distance) to where I live (Meytree Walk in Caversham). Training wise I'm currently more into weightlifting than cardio.
Looking at Google Maps, the closest one I could find is Caversham health club by iSL fitness, which is still a bit further away than I'd like. Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance!
Left my bike locked up outside Tesco Express on Oxford Road at around 19:30 on Nov 29th. Model is a Canyon Grizl 5 in green.
Went into the Biscuit Factory for about an hour and came out to find it gone. Tesco claimed their CCTV didn't face the right way.
I'm visiting friends for the weekend, but any help appreciated.
I find myself in a situation where I need next day mot... any advice on where to find availability? Mowt of the common online ones are not available for like a week
Hi all, I'm looking to get a cap with custom writing printed on it for one for my friends. Are there any shops in Reading that do this? thanks!
Heading to the football on Sunday, was wondering if anyone knows if the path from Reading Green Park station to the SCL stadium is flooded?
Was trying to park in there around midday and there was a police car on the bridge and a fire engine, ambulances and more police vehicles down near the disabled spots.
Just moved to the area, and went out for drinks in central London tonight. Assumed trains ran regularly but luckily caught something was up tonight.
Long story short ended up having to get the central line to Ealing Broadway, then from earning broadway to Reading - a circa 2 hour trip from central London.
Is this really the way or have I missed a trick? Left around 00:45 and got home at 2:45. Hoping someone can set expectations of how you can both be out later in London but still get back in sensible time..? Ie what should options look like if you find yourself out at 1, 2, or even 3 in London?
Thanks
