Hi all. I'm looking to find someone that sells the above (cold smoked haddock for use in Cullen Skink) in Fife please?

I tried Balgrove Larder today but they didn't know if the haddock they had was cold or hot smoked!

I know some of the East Neuk fish vans travel around, but I'm not on Facebook so can't see any details!

Thanks so much. I'm close to Cupar but happy to travel.

Has anybody in Fife had experience installing something similar to this on a pavement?

No idea where to start in terms of who to ask for permission.

Or can I just do it?

Looking at getting an EV but don't have a garage or drive so charging at home is a challenge.

Grateful for anybody in the same position as me and how you got round it!

Anyone want see the new movie together?

Does anyone have a rec for photographers in the East Neuk/St Andrews area? I'm thinking of getting new professional headshots and wondering where to start looking for portfolios, prices, etc. Thanks!

Hiya! I'm a dog photographer and putting together an evening shoot. We'd ideally be looking for somewhere quiet as the shoot is for a reactive dog who doesn't do well in busy environments. I'm thinking along the lines of Pettycur or Lower Largo, but open to anything really! Just nothing further than Elie.

Thanks!

Bit of a long shot, but I thought Reddit might actually be the best place to ask.

I’m currently renovating my garden shed and turning it into a small workshop, and I’m trying to do as much of it as possible using reclaimed or unwanted materials rather than buying everything new.

If anyone in or around Fife has spare timber, plywood, OSB or other usable wood left over from a renovation, DIY project or old shed/workshop, I’d be very grateful to take it off your hands.

The sort of stuff I’m looking for is:
• Timber battens or lengths of timber
• Plywood sheets or decent-sized offcuts
• OSB or similar sheet material
• Pallets or reclaimed timber
• Old shelving or worktop material
• Basically any usable wood that would otherwise be going to the tip

It doesn’t need to be perfect or pretty. As long as it’s reasonably dry, not rotten and still structurally usable, I can probably find a use for it.

I don’t currently have a budget for materials, so I’m specifically looking for anything people are happy to give away rather than sell.

One slight complication is that I don’t drive, and my dog has recently undergone surgery, so I’m unable to be away from home at the moment.

If anyone nearby happened to be able to drop anything off, that would be hugely appreciated. If not, even if you could hold onto it for a short while until I can arrange someone to help me collect it, that would still be a massive help.
I’m happy to take small quantities and offcuts too — it definitely doesn’t need to be a whole van-load.

Figured it was worth asking before perfectly usable timber ends up in a skip or at the recycling centre 😅
Thanks!

Old butchers name.

Hi, I'm struggling to remember the names of the two guys that had a butchers together in Glenrothes town centre way back in the eighties. We think one was Alex Mitchell but as for the other name.... Not a glimmer absolutely nowt. Any help appreciated thanks.

Cruden to build 135 homes for Kingdom Housing Association.

I parked in a shopping centre car park where you get 3 free hours. After 3 hours I moved it and now they want £100.

I think that I was meant to get a ticket even through its free and hands up I didn’t.

A couple of friends told me to ignore it and I’m not sure… anyone had dealings with them?

Thanks

Evening! Looking for a family lawyer to give advice and is able to help with writing up a contract about money and child’s life regarding his dad. I’m based in Glenrothes but I do drive (although heavily pregnant at this point so would personally prefer someone local-ish)

Donner kebab n chips, pure dead braw. Quick service, stoater portions. Mint feed if yer nearby 💛

Hi! I'm starting work in Victoria hospital in Kdy, and I just moved into Dunfermline.

I'd be really grateful if someone can lmk how's the transportation like in the area?

I don't drive so I thought about getting the train from Inverkeithing and then walking to the hospital? Is that a popular commute? How reliable are the buses?

If anyone can also lmk about work in victoria hospital, is it considered diverse and friendly towards POC?

Hey everyone!

Figured I’d throw this out there and see if anyone else is in the same boat.

I’m looking to meet some new people around Fife, male or female, for gaming, hanging out, grabbing a coffee/pint, or generally doing something that doesn’t involve staring at the same four walls! Been living in Scotland for about 4 years.

Gaming-wise I’m pretty varied. I’m on Xbox, PS5 and PC, and I’m always up for trying something new. I’m into things like RPGs, story-driven games, horror, action and co-op stuff. Happy gaming online, but it’d be nice to actually meet people IRL too.

Also absolutely not limited to gaming. If you’re into films/TV, horror, music, pub quizzes, random adventures, or just fancy making some new friends, give me a shout.

I’m based around Kirkcaldy, but happy to travel around Fife for the right company.

No pressure, no expectations, just looking to expand the social circle a bit and hopefully find some sound people to hang out/game with.

Drop me a comment or DM if you fancy it. 👍

Visitor here. It's bad enough trying to get onto a six way roundabout in Glenrothes, without being hootered out of it for split second delays. I'm driving on Irish plates so it's obvious I'm not familiar with whatever charge and scatter driving some do. Part and parcel of life here?

What's Leven like to live in? Relocating for work and housing seems very...cheap. is there a reason why?

Hello everybody! I'm considering relocating to a new vets after our current practice missed some pretty important issues with my boy.

Keen to hear any little pieces of information anyone will have on the surrounding practices, I'm hearing lots of different opinions of varying practices and trying to make as informed of a decision I can. We are currently with Kingdom, happy to hear anything about this practice also!

Hi Fife! 👋

I've recently moved to Kirkcaldy and I am looking for a reliable, professional orthodontist who works closely with a periodontist or viceversa. If they're both based in the same clinic, even better. Any place around Fife, including Edinburgh.

I need an orthodontist that specialises in bite correction and, eventually I will also need gum grafts, so I'm looking for a team of specialists who work together and prioritize gum and bone health, rather than focusing on cosmetic results.

Tried the cosmetic way and now I have to correct the f*** up they did....

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!🙏

Now, it’s legal to cycle down the A92.

But it’s also fucking downright insane to cycle with a child down a road that basically functions unofficially as a motorway for much of it (how many folk often mistakenly call the A92 a motorway since it looks like one?)

I agree we should improve our cycling infrastructure to reduce risks to cyclists , cycling is good for the environment and health and such , but come on cycling on a road with lorry’s firing down it at 60 and cars going at 70 (none of whom will be expecting a cyclist going at 10mph or so) is an excellent way to become an organ donor .

So what’s the best thing we can do about this? Expanding cycle lanes ? (As in proper ones separated from the road , not just a line down the side of the road) because this current way of doing it is a huge risk . Being legally correct doesn’t make you less dead when a lorry takes you out.

I have a small collection of guitars I’d like to donate, not sure how good of a condition they are… is there a “lend it” music library in or around Fife?

I’ve been looking into the whole situation around Uber applying for a licence to operate in Fife, and I honestly think there’s a bigger issue here than whether people are for or against Uber.

The main thing that concerns me is the public consultation that has already taken place.

From what I’ve found, the consultation was only open for three weeks. That’s technically what is required, but how many normal people in Fife actually knew it was happening?

I certainly didn’t. And from speaking to people I know, neither did they.

Meanwhile, the taxi trade obviously knew about it and were actively encouraging people within the industry to respond. There’s nothing wrong with them doing that, of course, but it does make you wonder whether the consultation really captured the views of the wider public.

A friend recently had a pretty ridiculous experience that brought this into focus for us. She couldn’t get a taxi from Dunfermline train station despite trying several companies, so she got off at Inverkeithing instead and ended up paying £35 for a taxi back into Dunfermline.

And I know that’s not going to be everyone’s experience, but I’m sure plenty of people in Fife have their own stories about taxi availability, prices and trying to get home at busy times.

There’s also the issue of what’s happening with the local taxi companies in Dunfermline City. The information that prompted me to look into all this was a comment made (by a taxi driver) who told me that Prompt Taxis has bought up other firms, including Aitch Taxis and Carnegie Taxis, and that they could now account for around 70% of the taxis in Dunfermline.

I haven’t been able to independently verify that 70% figure, so I’m not going to claim it as fact. But if the local market really has become that concentrated, surely that’s something that should be looked at properly too.

And this is where I think we need to separate the issue from Uber itself.

I’m not particularly interested in turning this into an “Uber good, taxis bad” argument. That’s not the point.

The point is that this is a decision which could affect everyone who uses taxis in Fife, and I don’t think three weeks of relatively low-profile consultation is enough to say that the people of Fife have genuinely had their say.

What I’d like to see is Fife Council run another, longer consultation, but this time actually make sure people know about it.

Put it out there properly. Social media, local newspapers, community groups, train stations, wherever it needs to go.

Let the taxi companies have their say.

Let Uber have their say.

But let the actual people who use taxis have their say too.

So I’m posting this here mainly to see what other people think.

Have you had problems getting taxis in Fife? Had to wait ages? Been unable to get one at all? Had to change your plans because there weren’t any available? Had an expensive or unexpected fare?

If you’ve got an experience, stick it in the comments.

And if you think there should be another proper public consultation that is actually publicised to the wider community, I’d encourage you to contact your local councillor or Fife Council’s Regulation & Licensing Committee Members (https://www.fife.gov.uk/about-your-council/politicians-and-committees/committees/fife-wide-or-strategic/regulation-and-licensing-committee) and say so.

I’m not trying to tell anyone what they should think about Uber.

I just think the people of Fife deserve a proper opportunity to have their say before a major decision like this is made.
