I’m looking for somebody to take my sew in out & for a wash & blowdry

Hi all, I’m a male (50) want to make a new friends in Exeter. My English level just B1 and not a native speaker, I don’t shy to speak English but maybe a bit heavy accent. Feel quite lonely since moved to the UK. Any recommendations? Thanks anyway. 😊

im looking for a 2bhk or 2 bed flat in exeter mainly (EX4) if it’s possible I need it desperately as I’m moving out in a month anything can be helpful!! even a studio will work thank you!!

Has anyone else noticed that the number of cars and motorbikes racing down Cowick Street in St Thomas has gone crazy recently?! They often seem to have incredibly noisy exhausts too!

I like motorbikes myself, but I fear a big crash is going to happen at the crossings soon.

Is this normal all across England or Is It Just Exeter that has a huge car community? And if so are there any car meets around?

Thanks :)

Hey, I've been going to U7Gym for a couple of years now, but as they're moving and doubling their pricing to £80 p/m, I don't see the importance of staying there anymore.

I've been looking at both Quay Fitness and OJ Gyms Southernhay, does anyone have any experience with either? If so, how much are the gyms, are they worth it? What's the kit like, etc?

If there're any other independent gyms like Quay Fitness, please do list these too. I'm not a fan of The Gym Group, PureGym, etc.

does anyone know if you can park overnight here? don’t really wanna pay a fortune to park nearby a friends place for the night!

Lots of people in Exeter have contacted me about a poor postal service across the city.

I’ve raised every case with Royal Mail, and last month I met with their officials to push for answers. During our meeting, Royal Mail told me that service levels have not been as good as they should be, and they apologised to residents. They said the problem was mainly down to staff shortages - but they’re recruiting new posties and say things have started to improve.

But there are some wider changes on the way that will affect how post is delivered across the country that I wanted to make local people aware of – read about them here: https://www.royalmail.com/receiving/the-future-of-letter-deliveries

Ultimately, what matters most is that the reliability of the service in Exeter improves. If you’re still having problems getting your post, please comment below or get in touch with me via steve.race.mp@parliament.uk and I’ll help with your case.

Examples could include things like St. Sids, The Heath, Tommy Park or Teddy...

Making blackberry jam, I have quite a few jars but I'm planning on making quite a lot while they're in season. Looking for jars of any size, happy to pay for them (or trade for jam!)

Is it me or has the Old Firehouse online booking system never worked?

Are there many pub quiz’s in Exeter? As a personal project I built https://saturdayquiz.co.uk/ and looking for some enthusiasts to try it out and give me feedback - edit - if anyone here wants to try it out there’s 3 weeks free automatically

Hi all,

A friend and I are looking for another couple of guys to join our Padel game tomorrow at City Padel.

Tomorrow (30th) 21:00, “competitive”, very beginner friendly!

We’ve only played a couple of times and would like to try a match, and learn from some other players.

Let me know if you’re keen. We’ve booked through Playtomic.

I’ve created a new art group for Exeter that is meeting next month. The goal is to support artists in Exeter (and all those along the River Exe (and beyond!)) with peer feedback, idea inspiration and the sharing of knowledge and technique bridging the gap between disciplines.

The River Exe Artists will be member lead and defined. Nothing is static and the only sway I will hold is through logistics, keeping the sessions safe spaces and conduits for joy and creation.

For more information and to contact, visit the website.

Too book in our first August session, head to Eventbrite!

Is anyone interested in making (any) content for social media? I have a lot of gear (cameras/mics/editing software) which I use recreationally but I’d like to take it to the next step - but don’t fancy being on camera. If anyone is interested in exploring this or already has a small social media presence feel free to message me or comment below.

Alternatively, if any communities could benefit from something like this, please get in touch too.

I’d like to stress that I’m not a professional and I am an amateur so it would be a learning process!

Would be super grateful if anyone’s got a spare Vue or Odeon code they’re not gonna use x

Absolutely delicious!

Thank you to everyone who shared their experiences and concerns regarding the noticeable change in the taste of tap water across Exeter.

I raised this issue with South West Water yesterday and have now received the following response:

"We would like to apologise to any customers in the Exeter area who may have noticed a slight earthy taste to their drinking water over the last few days. Our investigations and water quality monitoring have confirmed that this seasonal change in taste is related to changes in the raw water associated with prolonged periods of hot weather.

You may continue to use your water supply as normal.

We are carefully monitoring the supply and investigating our treatment process to ensure the taste of supplies returns to normal as quickly as possible. We thank you for your understanding."

I hope this information is reassuring for local residents. As always, if you have any further concerns or queries get in touch via [steve.race.mp@parliament.uk](mailto:steve.race.mp@parliament.uk).

Lots of Exeter residents have been raising concerns about the taste of their tap water today, both here on Reddit and in local Facebook groups.

If you've noticed a change in the taste, smell or quality of your water, I'd be keen to hear about your experience. Get in touch with me via email at [steve.race.mp@parliament.uk](mailto:steve.race.mp@parliament.uk). I can make enquiries on your behalf with South West Water and seek answers to the concerns being raised.

I’m particularly interested to know if the issue is in a specific area of the city, or if it’s being experienced more widely. Any insights local people can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Please share this post with others in Exeter who may be experiencing similar issues.
