I walk past the record and plant shop on Broad Street a couple times a week and I’m always amazed by their passive aggressive signs. Asking people not to take photos of their huge plant display that takes up half the path (it’s eye catching for a reason surely), insulting the Bath general public and tourists for not supporting them enough, saying Bath is always empty! I get it’s probably not that deep, but why put up signs in the window all the time that seem to put off customers from supporting them. And since when is a 2 day pop up shop from a (I’m assuming) small independent business selling dried flowers a direct attack on them? I think many independent businesses in Bath have started as pop ups or markets!

Rucksack with name ‘Sam Dewey’ written in ink, left on D1 service bus today. Rucksack is currently at FirstBus Weston island depot, will make its way to the bus station lost property at some point.

Where should I be looking? What should I be seeing?

A lovely hot day today, so understandably the river was busy, but whichever group of pollocks thought it was ok to leave this amount of rubbish behind is alarmingly sad.

Heading there today on a whim where do you suggest for lunch?

Edit: the universal consensus is EE. Thanks everyone!

I get the train from Bath Spa fairly often and it seems like I get no mobile data around the train station, pretty much from the Forum to the top of Manvers Street. I have tried Three and O2 and both are the same. Are there any carriers that can provide a good data signal in this area?

Anybody recommend where I can get a private allergy test done?

When I was a little kid my family briefly lived in Bath as a part of my dad’s job. I have a lot of really fond memories of it, and got to visit recently. My favorite place as a kid was Parade Gardens. I have a few one line/minimalist tattoos and have been toying with the idea of getting one as a tribute to Bath/Parade Gardens. Is this stupid? Does anyone have any ideas?

Where can you get these taken?

I strongly encourage anyone, Bath Spa uni student or otherwise to message their local mp/ councillor about the state of the U5 buses. We need to realise it’s a system that we DON’T HAVE TO PUT UP WITH. Whilst there are meetings in place to discuss these issues, a lot of students can’t attend them, ironically due to the nature of the U5 in general and how expensive it is to travel comparatively short distances relative to the cost. Emailing your representatives is free and can be done at anytime in any place. Use this link to find the contact details of your area’s representative and make sure to include your full name and postal address (whilst living at uni) in the email. ⬇️ https://members.parliament.uk/FindYourMP

I rent in Bath and it's such a pretty place to live. But I'm coming to a point now where I'm thinking of mortgaging, and it's hard to escape the fact that you can get more bang for your buck pretty much anywhere else in Somerset.

I'm not complaining: I understand why. Bath is a city with high demand but low supply for housing. It's beautiful. It's well-placed for commuting into Bristol. Being a UNESCO world heritage site limits how much people can build and how. Its reputation as a tourist hot spot means more properties are reserved for AirBnBs and short-term lets. Of course you can get a bigger, newer house for the same money in Taunton or Midsomer, etc.

That said, I'm in a weird place now where I need to really think what my priorities are. Is it a bigger, nicer place to live or living in a town/city I really like? Those aren't easy things to weigh up. Is it worth downsizing so I can continue to live in Bath?

Has anyone else grappled with this dilemma before?

Looking for pub recommendations / a pub crawl route please!

Is 1,400 GBP per month enough as living cost in Bath excluding tuition fee?

I’m an international postgraduate student and received that amount of scholarship fund. While I saw on the guideline that student in Bristol received 1,500 GBP and worry a bit

I need to print an important document but don’t have a printer. Where can I go in town, for example with a USB stick, to print it out? Thanks

Is there any independent cinemas in bath or around bath? I know theirs everyman, odeon and the little theatre but is their any others?

Hi, is there any accommodation recommendations for postgraduate students?

I will study at UoB School of Management and don’t mind whether it is on or off the campus.

Is that sensible looking for a place around £700 per month bills include and furnished?
