New to the area

So hey I'm relatively new to the area and still trying to find myself around and have got lost a few times and don't know anybody apart from my partner lol

im 41 and really enjoy music and socialising what's the music scene like around here and are there any places I should really check out. I don't drink so going out and getting blasted isn't my thing lol

I live in Broseley and love the place so far and have been learning my way about slowly

I'm into gaming I play guitars and music is my biggest love tbh!

New town - New friends?

Hi all,

Bit of an awkward post but there is nothing to lose. My girlfriend and I (both 24) recently moved to Telford, specifically Lawley Village as she got a job here. Unfortunately in this day and age its seemingly Sisyphean to make friends in your adult life from scratch so I'm making this post, as we have moved and my friends live almost 2 hours away and hers even further. Even though I am quite happy in isolation I can tell this weighs heavy on my GF, so I'd like to possibly connect with people who live nearby with similar interests or ages.

We both go to the gym regularly, hike occasionally (mainly for the nature aspect but enjoy the challenge) and watch anime/tv together. She likes to read fiction whereas I prefer non-fiction. I enjoy philosophy, learning/ studying, investing and gaming (PC).

Ideally we could meet a couple of friends to meet up with, frequent the gym (Puregym) with, host game/movie nights but one step at a time I suppose it would be best to start with a coffee or gym session. I work from home so I can always chill at a coffee place and work as well.

Not expecting a huge response from this post, but if you think we have anything in common or are in a similar boat please feel free to DM me or comment I love speaking with new people.

Alternatively if you have any advice or have been in a similar situation your insight would be highly appreciated. What did you do to make friends in a new town or your adult life?

Looking forward to your responses. Any recommendations on local spots or groups would be great too!

Telford Mystery Big Cats - Paranormal?

In 2006 there was 2 articles in the Shropshire Star newspaper reporting sightings of Big Cats in Telford. In this video I read both these articles.

Best place to stay?

Have to visit the HMRC office for work. I’ve no idea where it is in relation to the town centre. Where is the best place to stay within walking distance of HMRC and the town centre?

Cheap Tobacco

Hi all, just moved to the Telford area from the south and am looking to find somewhere that sells cheap tobacco if possible.

There was a corner shop where I used to live, where the guy would sell 50g pouches of a lot of different brands for like £20. Pretty sure he was getting them cheaper from abroad then selling them on, anyone know of anything like that round here? Maybe specifically in either Telford or Wellington?

Thanks for any help! 😁

are the people here racist ?

i recently moved here from london about 2 months ago to look after my dads house and the more i stay the more it looks like the biggest mistake of my life.

ive tried to get a job almost everyday since and whilst its so clear that places have vacancies, they just arent hiring me, and i have the qualifications, i go to the interviews and do well and still get rejected even if i apply for multiple vacancies and the clear these people need to hire more. also i went to boots about a week and the person on the floor, literally only followed me around the store. i go to a fish and chips store and the lady taking my order makes me repeat it 3 times as if i dont have the same accent as everyone there, the people at the checkout walk so weirdly and the fucking stare too ?? i go to buy an energy drink in tesco as a meal deal and im the only one who has to show ID as if i don’t already live there.

i had so much hope for this place and getting away from london and its just shut me down so many times, but yea if anyone knows of any places that are actually hiring let me know thanks
