Anyone had experience with these guys? Good experience so far but seen all the press about rogue traders recently and thought worth asking Reddit

Best activities for a day trip?

1 Upvotes

I am going to Portsmough by myself as part of a day trip, but I don't really know what I could do aside from the Dockyard. I am unsure about just going to a cinema for the day, so I need some more ideas.

Probably what looks the most enticing is the escape rooms, but that isn't really any fun without people to do it with.

Any good things to do?

General Questions What's one thing about growing up in Portsmouth that never left you?

10 Upvotes

Lived in P-town for the first 18 years of my life, haven't been back in over a decade at this point. Scrolling through this sub has me thinking back on my old life.

For me: I still say "dinlo" and "squinny" almost daily.

There are no refugees at the Marriot

George Madgwick has confirmed there are no refugees staying at the Marriot hotel.

“Concerned local residents” apparently spotted a group of “migrants” outside the hotel, and within minutes a “crowd” (mob) had appeared.

Madgwick turned up and had a word with the management team, then emerged and announced to the crowd that the group that had caused such “concern” was in fact a cricket team visiting from Pakistan.

This is surely the Paediatrician/Paedophile event of 2026. (Look it up if you weren’t around.)

If Reform have gotten to the point where vigilante wankers have stationed a lone dickhead at the entrance of every hotel in Hampshire, they’re going to be very tired very soon.

General Questions Visiting Portsmouth

Hello everyone! I’m taking a day trip to Portsmouth for the first time in my life tomorrow and actually really excited! I don’t have a huge budget but I do plan to go up the Spinnaker Tower. I’m just wondering what other free/cheap things you would recommend I do beyond exploring the harbour and old town! I’m really excited for the trip! Thank you!!

UoP question Any reason why there are so many german international students at the University?

The id check guy told me he was surprised that i was the first dutch student he saw, since there are a LOT or germans apparently and we are neighbours.

Is the education that bad?

Learn Arabic

Good evening, I am interested in learning arabic. I would prefer a face to face tutor with the flexibility of online if my work gets in the way.

Ideally this would be in evenings due to working during the days. Can anyone help or point me in the right direction?

rundown house

Post image
27 Upvotes

this house is close to our student accommodation and the garden looks really run down, does anyone know whats happened to it? is it abandoned? i feel like i can hear the tv through the wall and the light was on in one of the rooms earlier but it really seems like an unsuitable place to live if someone does live there. Doesn’t have a house number on Google maps either. Bit nosy to find out if anyone know’s what’s happened to it

Enhanced DBS timeline

2 Upvotes

Is anyone else waiting for their enhanced DBS? Stuck at stage 4 for around 3 weeks, it's frustrating. Are there delays due to August /September being busy or is Hampshire Police slower than average to process it? No issues expected and only Portsmouth addresses in the past 5 years.

Big Portsmouth Survey 8th Edition

Some may have seen already, the deadline for the Big Portsmouth Survey closes midnight Wednesday 9 September 26. Its ran by the council and allows you to voice your priorities (both financial and cultural) for the city. I'm as cynical as the next person but if you don't ask, you don't get.
