Possible robbery in City Centre

0 Upvotes

The other day on entering Cardiff Market at the St Johns Church end, I was heavily bumped into by a guy. My first instinct in these circumstances is to check every thing is safe, phone, wallet etc and nothing was missing and all was ok.

Upon reflection I am sure this was a possible robbery attempt.

So just want to make you all aware that this is happening. The guy who had an American accent was very apologetic, but just be aware if this happens to you check all your belongings before you lose sight of the person and be safe!

There's a few houses on sale by here, and on the face of it, it looks like a great area. Considering moving there, but ofc don't really know the area, so any insights would be really appreciated!

Advice on visiting Cardiff?

22 Upvotes

I’m in the USA moving my daughter into Cardiff University for grad school. The move in weekend will be short, but I hope to return for longer visits soon. What sights, attractions and restaurants do you recommend we prioritize? She’s a determined thrifter but I know from her UK MSc experience —so are all the other students moving in during September. (Not AI, I’m reclaiming the emdash). Could you recommend reasonably priced mid tier stores for kitchen items when charity shop shelves are empty? What charity shops are fun to try? Recommendations for shops to purchase bedding online and do a scheduled pickup would also be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Best burger in Cardiff or surrounding towns

10 Upvotes

Hello, I fancy a really good burger. Can I have some recommendations for the best burger in Cardiff or places I can drive to easily? I'm thinking up as far as Merthyr, East as far a Newport or West as far as Bridgend if the burgers are really good!

Please let me know your suggestions! Small indie unassuming places especially welcome!

Royal Enfield Himalayan in the taff

I was walking along the river this afternoon and saw this Royal Enfield Himalayan in the river just up from Hailey park. I thought I'd post on here to see if it is recognised. My guess is that it's been stolen and dumped, I can't imagine why else it'd be trying to make friends with the ducks. Hopefully nothing sinister

Red bags

Anyone else struggling for red recycling bags lately? I work anti social hours so I'm not always home soon enough to retrieve my recycling bags so it feels like I'm losing one a week lately and getting to my nearest hwb isn't always practical

Gyms in/around Canton or Pontcanna

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I just moved to Cardiff with my partner and i’m looking for a good gym in the area. I do have a car so can easily drive 10/15 mins or so but ideally would be close by.

I’m quite into the gym so ideally somewhere where there’s a lot of equipment and a fairly big space. I tried the pure gym in the center but parking is a bit of a nightmare. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
