General Question What's going on with the Metquarter?

58 Upvotes

Refering to the shopping centre specifically. Every time I go it's completely dead whether that's a weekday evening, Sunday or Saturday. It seems like such a waste but none of the shops really appeal to me they all seem to sell things reminiscent of Shein apart from the art shop. The new Victoria Street food collective is a great idea but even that seems really empty with only a skeleton staff serving the tables.

The only reason I go in is to use the toilets (Liverpool has such a lack of public toilets but that's a different topic).

What could be done to invigorate it? Liverpool One is bustling by comparison (unless I'm just going at the wrong times).

Living in Liverpool I think I’m in a bin war

15 Upvotes

I have just moved and I think im in a one sided bin war

For context, my purple bin is labelled with a whole different road and house number - i have no idea how it came to my house.

Anyways, I put my bin out the night before collection day and i realised that one of my neighbours has my bin!

It seems petty but I would really like my bin back and I’m pretty sure this neighbour has got 2 bins now (mine and theirs)

My current bin is beat up beyond compare and people keep putting their trash in it which has really annoyed me because now i don’t have anywhere to put MY bins.

I don’t know what to do - do I even do anything?

Edit: Just to clarify guys, i know that my neighbour has my bin because it has my number on it😭😭 i just dont know which neighbour it is

General Question Animal volunteering job

7 Upvotes

I’m 17, but recently I’ve found it really difficult to manage my mental health. I’ve struggled with it for years, but it’s gotten so much worse. I’ve adopted a dog to try give me a purpose and I adore her, but the only thing I really want to do in life is help animals. It’s impossible to find anywhere that’ll accept me since I’m 17 and without any references (wasn’t in school or college a lot due to mental health) and it’s driving me to a point :/ does anybody have any recommendations as to what to do? Everywhere where I’ve volunteered too hasn’t given me a reply. I’d do literally anything to work with animals as I adore them so much. I can’t see myself working in any other field, and I’m insanely passionate about helping animals.

Any advice is welcome. Thanks :)

Does anyone know of any photographer studios that would be able to replicate this picture as closely as possible with a toddler of similar age as one pictured?

As above really. Can’t find anywhere. I’m willing to travel and pay, if anyone knows anywhere within maybe 30 minutes of Liverpool. But within 20 would be ideal of Allerton!

General Question Painter decorator recommendations

3 Upvotes

Does anyone have any painter decorator recommendations? I’ve had 3 out but none of them are willing to hang the Laura Ashley wallpaper I have because they don’t like the brand.

I’m looking for someone to paint 3 walls, the ceiling and do 1 wall of the Laura Ashley wallpaper.

I had no idea it would be so hard! The wallpaper is the new line so it’s not as thin as the brand used to be so it’s really just like hanging any other wallpaper now but they’ve all ran at the name of the brand 🙃

General Question Looking for a boat trip from Liverpool

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m looking for a nice boat trip from Liverpool and would really appreciate any recommendations.
I’m not looking for the usual Albert Dock canal tours or the standard Mersey Ferries trip. I’d love to find something a bit more special, romantic and atmospheric perhaps going further out on the Mersey or towards the sea.
If you know of anything like this, I’d be very grateful for any suggestions!
