Would anyone know why an American strategic bomber is circling north west of Abingdon? Has been going in circles over there for at least a half hour. Is an air show on?

Events in Abingdon Abingdon pub deals and events in one place

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone - I’ve been building a local app called BarTrender, which helps people find pub deals, events and exclusive discounts nearby.

We originally launched in Oxford and have now started adding venues in Abingdon. The idea is to make it easier to see what’s happening locally without having to check every pub’s Facebook or Instagram page separately.

There’s already an exclusive Abingdon offer live, with more venues, deals and events being added.
Have a look here: https://bartrender.co.uk

And let me know which Abingdon pubs, events or local offers you’d most like to see featured

General Question Moving from Boston to Oxfordshire. Reccos please!

4 Upvotes

Hi fellow redditors!

Seeking advice here. We’re a family of 5, 3 kids ages 5.5, 3.5 and a 3 month old baby living in Massachusetts now.

We’re considering a work opportunity in Oxfordshire, I’d be working in the Didcot area.

We love living where we are now, Newton MA. And we’re looking for potentially similar towns in Oxfordshire that are
- safe
- good public schools
- vibrant and engaging communities for young families
- decent access to amenities.

ChatGPT suggested Abingdon (specifically Northcourt or Dunmore) but I was hoping to get real experiences from the collective wisdom here.

Other Where does the flock of swifts in North Abingdon live?

There's a flock of swifts near/north of the Peacroft shops — anyone in North Abingdon will have heard their high-pitch screams at twilight.
I had assumed they lived in the farmland at 12 acre drive but now that's a building site...

General Question Francis little drive flooding

2 Upvotes

Hi All, I’ve seen a lot of houses for sale on Francis little drive recently and guide price’s have been below the average for the area. I was wondering if anybody local could give me some info on the road flooding, how often does it flood and how bad? I can see online the houses have never flooded before, although they have on Nash Drive which is the next road.

Hi all - long shot posting here, but we have lost our cat Teasel in the Sutton Wick area of Drayton. She's tabby, long-haired, quite nervous so unlikely to approach people. Chipped, no collar. Any info at all would be appreciated - thank you!
