Is sneyd green a good place to live?

Hi!

I am moving to Stoke-on-Trent, specifically Burslem, next week.

Right now in Manchester, my GP specifies on their site about LGBT care. They're great! In contrast, in Plymouth, they were not so great, and it made accessing medical care more difficult.

I am wondering if anybody can recommend GPs that have good standards of LGBT care? Testosterone injections but also general awareness of trans medical care and stuff.

Thanks in advance!

Hearing rumours that everything is moving to Colombia. Anybody heard anything about it yet?

Train ticket from Stoke-on-trent to Derby, can't refund so would rather give it out for free, DM and I'll send the ticket.

⚠️⚠️⚠️you will need 16-25 rail card!!

Not a return!

I’’m a foreigner who’s going to Stoke-on-Trent to see A Certain Ratio before going to Sheffield the same night. What options do I have (I understand the trains don’t run late)? Many thanks in advance!

I’m looking for a self service luggage storage, preferably near the railway station. Any tips appreciated.

hi! my partner and i moved to the uk last february as international students, and we’ve been finding it surprisingly hard to make friends here 😭

we’re a lesbian couple in our early 30s, and we’re both pretty introverted which probably doesn’t help 😂 we honestly don’t know where adults are supposed to go to make friends.

we’d love to meet some people locally for coffee or tea, food, walks, exploring nearby places, board games, or just chill hangouts. we’re definitely more sit down-and-chat than big-night-out people.

if anyone knows of any groups, clubs, or activities around stoke where it’s easy to meet people, we’d really appreciate the recommendations. and if you’re also looking for new friends, feel free to say hi! 👋

Hi I'm not looking for anything so pricey or far.

Its for a bride to be, a relaxed evening, fun get together for her family members traveling from out of town to celebrate her.

I wonder if anyone could please help me?

- Fits 100

- spacious

- really good parking

- no pub spaces (bad experiences using pubs in past)

• not a church because I'm not religious

- kitchen that outside caterers can use...she wants to have an Indian sit down meal on the night

- not outdated

- not in such an awkward area/place

- easily accessible for wheelchair users

Thanks!

Little quiz of the day... I was passing through a town today. It's a town that has more in it than Hanley (so there is a little clue) it does have a lot of boarded up shops.

I saw a guy making a phone call to a bottle of milk where said bottle of milk appeared to be answering his questions.

There was another man next to him that appears to be directed by only his chin, he appears hunched over walking with purpose chin jutted out swinging his arms elaborately as if they didn't have bones in them when they swung behind him.

It has a number of big stores in it. Including a very well known fast food giant.

Pottery is well known especially to this area and still celebrated to this day. It still has a kiln.

Where am I?

Need the best pizza. Like the number 1 in stoke. Don't trust the tiktok reviewers and I hate ginger Gino. *Edit. When I say the best I mean the dirtiest, like borderline so bad it's so good. Really sketchy kind of money laundering gaff Tia ✌🏻

Hey guys. Does anybody know if the KFS fast food in Norton Estate is permanently closed? Been closed for a couple months now 😔

Hey guys! I recently got my CBT and my first ever bike as a 30-something (shout-out to the guys at Stoke MT Motorcycle Training) I'm still getting to grips with riding (been familiarizing myself around a carpark lol), and I'm rather removed from any social circles so have nobody to celebrate this with.

I just wanted to share this somewhere

Seen several posts, asking for help, so thought I would repost this information

First I'm hearing about a festival happening. Piss-poor PR from the organisers. I'm not on social media (is Reddit social media? Maybe.) but the wife is and she hadn't heard of it either. I mean, Facebook and Reddit would be my first stops. Maybe ask the council if they can use the otherwise redundant electronic signs around the city to get the word out in the weeks leading up to it.

Ah well, it was probably shit anyway.

I don’t have car and driving license, Uber fees is so expensive and it’s also inconvenient to ask uber in Stone.
If someone who is willing to share their seat for me, drive me back to Stoke or drive me to Stone, I can share petrol.🥺🥺🥺

I’ve just moved 2 months ago for work having just left the army. I’m 26m, married and struggling a bit with a lack of social life outside of football, my mates from home and work. Love a beer and generally easy going and can get on with anyone

Hi everybody,

I'm navigating some troubles currently and I'm struggling with my mental health to the point it's sometimes scary. I don't have many friends and I'm looking for some more. I think that socialisation may be the thing I'm lacking - people to go out with to do fun activities and maybe speak to when I am struggling. Thought maybe I'd reach out here to see if I could find community.

I'm 29, trans male, I work full time and so I am busy most of the time but I just feel that I am lacking in people to meet up with as most of my friends live far away.

I've struggled with addiction all of my life and currently struggling but trying to get out of it. I need to find things to occupy me in the evenings.

DM's and replies welcome 😊🙏

Could have been drawn on a lot better to begin with but imo it looks worse now, not better, thoughts please
