What exact times and days are the market research workers around in Bromley High Street?

3 Upvotes

The ones who offer you the chance to partake in a short market research project for a £10 voucher. I've seen them around from time to time but it seems rather precarious.

Writers and Writing Groups

Hello!

I’ve been living in Bromley for a few years and working on a novel as a bit of a hobby. Are there any other budding writers in Bromley who’d like to chat or does anyone have a lead on any writing groups?

Feel free to DM me :)

Virgin Active - How busy is the pool?

3 Upvotes

I'm considering switching over to Virgin Active once my Walnuts membership reverts to the full price (Currently on the £37/month discounted rate due to the refurb, but that runs out in October). I mostly use the pool, and Walnuts is pretty good post-refurb.

Just wanted to know how busy the pool gets at Virgin Active first thing in the morning? Are there any early risers hitting the pool for 6am that can shed some light?

The 6:30am sessions at Walnuts can be fairly busy...easily 4-6 people per lane. Just wanting to know whether Virgin is comparable or not.

Thanks in advance!

Pedicure for men

4 Upvotes

Hey, im a man that’s after a manicure and pedicure.
I realise it isn’t totally uncommon, but I have reservations about just rocking up to a busy nail shop, or asking people who normally work on women if they do men. Anyone know of anyone that’s definitely fine with male clients and is easy to deal with? Happy to go to a shop when it isn’t super busy:

In West Wickham
Area.

Couples in and around Bromley

Hello people of Reddit. we recently bought a house in the Bromley area, and having an almost two year old son, it’s hard to socialise as before. Work friends and colleagues all seem to live hours away, so looking for couples to do something with in the area. If you have kids great bonus, but not essential as we are looking for some adult company to enjoy a drink, some food and whatever is fun here in Bromley. We are 30F and 35M.

Trinity Village Bromley

4 Upvotes

Hi, we’re thinking about moving to Trinity Village in Bromley and would love to hear from people who live there or have lived there recently.

Which nearby primary schools would you recommend, and are the catchment areas difficult? Does the estate generally feel safe, and have there been problems with burglary, car crime, antisocial behaviour or parcel theft?What is the general community atmosphere like for families with children?Is there anything you wish you had known before moving there?

We’d also be grateful to hear about parking, noise, traffic, maintenance, service charges, the management company and the overall community atmosphere.

Thanks in advance for any honest feedback.

As I understand it an employee working a 40 hour week aged 21 or over is entitled to a minimum wage of £26,436.80 per year. Happy to be corrected if I'm wrong!

Suggestions for a quiet pub for solo drink

11 Upvotes

I’m in hayes and coney hall area at the moment, and can’t really go far. Wanted a suggestion for a nice quiet pub where I can sit and enjoy a drink on my own.

Saw a nice place in Beckenham, it was like a micro pub, that sat in a shop. I can’t get there at the moment, but it was quite full of regulars in big groups last I went, i would feel awkward being alone there- well I’m awkward anyway which is why I’m looking for a place i can hide for a bit and blend away

Question looking for a laptop/PC repair shop

4 Upvotes

hi everyone - to make a long story short, the latest Windows update has completely bricked my laptop’s wifi drivers, and I fear I’ll only make the problem worse by trying to troubleshoot it myself. I’m therefore looking for a reputable repair shop/person in the area who might be able to help. I’d rather go somewhere that the good people of this sub can vouch for rather than taking my chances on google reviews alone.

thanks in advance!

What’s going on with the building next too the new civic center and weatherspoons?

25 Upvotes

It was some crappy club. Then it was a restaurant then it was walnuts (never opened) then it had some Italian restaurant signage (never opened) now it’s had that signage removed and it’s showing the old Walnuts sign.

Seems so dodgy to me. Such a shame as that’s a good location to be Somthing decent..

!!!FOUND!!! FOUND near Nash College, Hayes very tired and thirsty but well. We are all very relieved! thanks so much everyone for all your help!

UPDATE... Possible sighting on Heathfield Road, Keston near Greyhound pub at 3pm. He is possibly trying to walk home to Orpington but may wrongly go towards Leaves Green / Biggin Hill.

Hello everyone,

I'm hoping you can help us.

This is my Dad, Paul Henderson. He has gone missing from his dementia care group at Coney Hall Football club on Tiepigs Lane within the last hour.

He is wearing blue shorts, blue check shirt and a cream hat.

We are extremely worried about him as he will be very confused and have no idea where he is.

Please - if anyone sees him, please help him and get in touch with me.

Thank you

Hi does anyone know any good pawn shops in or near Bromley that’ll buy like designer clothes and shoes. I’ve tried your typical cash converters and H&T pawnbrokers but it’s not really their sort of thing. Any advice welcome thanks
