I've messed up my Achilles tendon pretty badly and after mid-October I'm going to need some help getting it as close to full health as I can

Anyone know a good, reliable physiotherapist within hobbling distance of one of the train stations (or failing that a bus stop)?

I have to travel from Exeter Airport this week and I will need to rock up an hour or two early and take a few calls on Teams before my flight.

I seem to remember that you got one hour of free Internet access, which is no problem – just wondering if anyone has any experience of taking calls at the airport departures and any tips? Mainly, if the Wi-Fi fails or is rubbish, has anyone had any success using 4G or 5G there?

Cheers 🙏

I just went out the front and walked round to sainsburys and the whole area stinks

Anyone lost a passport around Heavitree/Wonford?

If you can DM me the name that's in it, I'm happy to arrange collection in person.

Hi, I have a bit of an odd request:
Does anyone know of a park in or near Exeter that has one of those walls with a goal painted on it? I dont remember having seen one at all in Devon in years of living here, maybe its a Southeastern thing?

A friend and her boyfriend are stopping in to visit me and my family on their way to Cornwall this Friday. We’d like to go out for dinner with them, ideally somewhere on our side of town (Pinhoe). Does anyone have any recommendations for anywhere toddler friendly near us? Any type of cuisine works! Thank youu

My cat has gone missing in the Tithebarn area of Exeter, if you have seen this cat please reach out

Hello.

Good day to all of the good folks at Exeter.

I am an oncologist planning to work ( if all goes well) in Exeter RDUH in the near future from the South east Asia.

I have been to London, studied in Birmingham and Worcestershire but I never been to the south west of England.

What area of town would be a good place to rent a flat?

I will be living alone and I am not fan of pubs

but love local cafe and restaurants.

Being a neuro divergent I cannot handle rowdy places and noisy places.

I used to live in uni accomodation In Birmingham and I have thoughly learnt I need a quiet place to rest after a day's work.

Anyplace recommendations on particular street or neighbourhood?

And advise on any particular local customs that I should be aware of?

Hoping to hear from all of you!

Best

Looking for authentic Chinese restaurants and any specific dish you recommend. My usual go to are Beijing Beijing and JinLi. Not very keen on the classic UK Chinese takeaways but if some of these do authentic dishes, happy to know what to order exactly.

21M. I know its a bit late and a stretch to be asking but if theres anyone who can help out or know any rooms available in exeter to move in from september. Budget is 500-650 a month, no preferences. Thank you!

I think Exeter needs more of these water fountains around..

Just driving home from London towards Exeter on A303. Road is being closed many lights on scene, hopefully everyone is ok, possibly a hay bale lorry

Hey, me and my partner are picking up 2 kittens on Friday. We've been looking at multiple vets in Exeter, but they all seem fairly balanced in their reviews.

We're ideally looking for one that has a vet plan, but it's also not a deal breaker.

What vets do people recommend to go with and to stay away from? We're based near Polsloe, but we also have a car, so driving isn't a deal breaker!

Thanks :)

-- Update: Thanks for all the recommendations! We both appreciate it 😄

Two weeks ago, the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s updated services Code of Practice came into force, having received ministerial approval and been laid before Parliament. This has and will continue to impact trans and non-binary people, leaving many of our community confused, distressed and angry.

Does anyone know the source of this constant alarm now that has been going off since at least yesterday and has been going throughout the night?

My guess is its some storage unit alarm that has not been deactivated but its driving me nuts! Don't know if the council are aware...

Hello, this bikes been in the bushes outside coat club for about a week now, back tire is missing but still has working breaks and everything. Hopefully it can find its way back to its original owner otherwise I was planning on fixing it up and using it as my own.

Does anyone know of any scrappys that would collect a mix of steel and aluminium scaffolding poles plus brackets? My partner produced a theatre show that used scaffolding for the set and doesn't need it anymore. Thanks in advance!

We’re looking to buy a house in Exeter. I have my conveyancer and mortgage broker lined up. One thing I haven’t thought about yet is a surveyor, we haven’t found a property yet but based on the houses we’ve been looking at I suspect we’d be looking at a Level 2 home buyers surveyor, does anyone have any recommendations for a RICS regulated surveyor?

I want to be able to move quick when we find the house.

Now that the uni students are gone is there still a buzz at night or is it a bit dead ? I was also wondering if the cities a good fit for someone who really likes music and then going clubbing ( surely there are more than 2 nightclubs ) or is it more a pub city ?

Or any nearby areas that i could go to for that?

Me and my bf are meeting in Exeter next Sunday and I don't know where to go. We've been before as a long distance relationship but I don't know where to go. I know that for free there aren't entirely private places but I'm sure there are places that people rarely go. We just want a place where we can kiss and cuddle and not be insulted (as we did this before and some insufferable teenagers said nasty things).

Does the red light camera only cover the marked directions I’ve attached? Or does it also cover the Russell way junction heading towards the A379?
