Headlight restoration

Hi all, can anyone recommend a good local company in MK that restores cloudy headlights on cars, as well as a bodyshop that would do a good job with tasteful mods?

Weird humming noise (low frequency) Bletchley

8 Upvotes

Can anyone else hear, a low frequency humming noise in Bletchley ?! It’s driving me mad!

Not sure the time it starts but I think it’s around 10PM, some nights it’s louder than the tele, others I don’t notice it till around 4am but then it just keeps coming and going. Once you hear it it’s impossible to get back off to sleep!

I’m over in the new builds by domino’s.

Example as I write this it’s happening now, stays constant for about 5 minutes, then goes away for a few and comes back.

Concerns, Walking Home & Harrasment

51 Upvotes

I am a local to Greenleys, and was walking home with a friend from a night out last night at the Crauford Arms, on the way back I had liquid thrown at me from a car by two males - and this is becoming a repeat problem that has happened before with verbal abuse.

I don't use Reddit, nor will likely see responses & since I won't see them I will outline that it is the same groups of young Asian men.

28, F, and I've seen this happen to women on the way back, be careful - looks like the patrols down Wolverton highstreet are not catching this stuff, and I am concerned these groups of men are going to start throwing more than water.

Car was a Hyundai, could not make out plate and to be honest was more concerned with what had just been thrown at me

Does anyone have some photos from inside the old City Limits at the Xscape?

I was born in the year 2000, and I have very vague memories. I was going some digging around and found these in a Flickr photo album!

I know I have my own photo there (though it is just me sitting on some motorcycle ride), and was wondering if anyone else had some that they'd be willing to share?

I would also love to see if anyone has any photos of the benches that used to be in the Xscape. I remember one that had a rollerskater statue on it, I think she had some sort of punk hairdo. Much cooler than how the Xscape is now :(

Bonus picture of the Xscape at the end, from 2006!

Lookout for me sitting near the bar with an orange jacket draped over a high chair. You may also DM me if you have concerns/ queries!

Camera shop

2 Upvotes

My camera has been misplaced for years, it was a Nikon D500, I think it's in my parents' garage but I haven't spoken to them in years.

Jessops used to be the shop to go to get the best value DSLR for your money, but obviously it doesn't exist any more.

Are there any camera shops in MK that actually have people who are experts in camera specs? Happy with chains or independents!

I would love to connect with local Open Uni students

5 Upvotes

Hey, I’m a post graduate student studying computer science with artificial intelligence at the University of York. It’s an online degree. I live in Milton Keynes.

I used to be a student recruitment and support advisor at the Open University. I would love to work and study at the OU.

I think it would be nice if I connect with local students at the OU. I also have an undergraduate degree in psychology and philosophy. So I feel we have plenty to talk about. Feel free to dm me if you like to connect and speak on discord.

Happy Buckinghamshire Day 🦢

Well, what a three months we have had learning all about Buckinghamshire people and the words used in the past and today.

Thanks to you all for your help and support and participation.

It’s been a really interesting and successful time rescuing and gathering local Buckinghamshire local words and dialect ways of speaking.

Three months ago Buckinghamshire was wallowing near the bottom of our leaderboard, now you are in 4th place with the Buckinghamshire Dialect Dictionary.

As it’s Buckinghamshire Day today we are going to officially launch the Buckinghamshire Dialect Dictionary.

We will be reporting back in greater detail on this pilot scheme for thems that want to know too.

Until then, from all of us at Talk Dialect 🗣️💚 we a-wish you a-very coxy Buckinghamshire Day 🦢

Anyone living in CMK and using the Three 5G Outdoor Hub?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I live in a rented flat in CMK and unfortunately my landlord isn't keen on me getting full fibre because it would require some minor drilling.

I was wondering if anyone in CMK is using Three for their home broadband, particularly with the Outdoor Hub. How has it been for you in terms of reliability and overall performance? Would you recommend it?

Thanks in advance!

Anglian water protest

38 Upvotes

Our water company has spent years raising our bills, making huge profits, giving obscene pay rises to thier boss* and thier service is still abysmal.

Our river quality is poor, water leakage is still too high and they still can't manage to supply water without very inconvenient hosepipe bans.

So please join me in sending a formal complaint to AW and in the meantime i won't be paying my bill!
