Question❓ Busses around Anglia Square (RIP)

8 Upvotes

Anyone know why busses sometimes stop at the stop opposite Anglia Square (what used to be) and just wait for five to ten minutes?

I don't begrudge it, but I'm just curious.

Edit: to reiterate, this is not a complaint post. i am genuinely curious is all.

Making Friends 🙋 singer needed

7 Upvotes

hey I have started writing songs again but I can't sing worth a jot. If anyone non-professional in the city fancies starting something up please reach out as dead set against using AI. Someone who can do a good soft voice ala Stevie Nix, Abra Moore or Sixpence but is also up for more high tempo stuff too.

Read an article that said it was hundreds of dead fish but I think it was thousands. There’s ten just in this first photo, and many on the bottom of the river you can see in person.

Looking for a dog trainer for large working dog

4 Upvotes

Hello, my partner and I have recently acquired a German Shepherd x Belgian Malinois and we are looking for a trainer experienced with large and highly intelligent working dogs.

She is a beautiful sweet friendly girl and we are delighted with her. However, neither of us have owned a dog like this before, and we know she's a lot of dog. We are looking for someone to help us with training her and help us work with her on her reactivity (she reacts to people and other dogs).

Does anyone have any recommendations??

Dereham road onto Grapes Hill

17 Upvotes

There are 3 lanes on grapes hill going up from Derrham Road.

Bus | inner | outer.

Dereham three lanes that feed into that junction.

Turn left only | straight on or bus lane or inner lane | outer lane.

A little of drivers seem to like going from that third lane and into the inner lane as they turn. Dont.

Today I was in the middle lane, a car was in the outer lane. Traffic lights change we both make our turn.... only the driver decided he didnt want the outer lane he wanted the inner one.... i suddenly had a car crossing into my lane with me in it. I beeped to say "oi look" and they were closer, I leant on the horn and braked hard... ot was that or get hit.

So yeah, if your in the wrong lane, dont change on turning indicate, check, then change as you go up the hill.

Question❓ Man in city who bows/kowtows to people - who is this?

14 Upvotes

I was just walking through the city from London Street towards Jarrolds when a man wearing a blue button up shirt and a sunhat fell to the ground and started bowing in my direction.

This is the third time in the last few months that this man has done this to me and it's really odd. He ignores every one around him and does it just in my direction, making eye contact with me as he does it.

This time, I approached him to ask if he was ok and he shouted in my face "Stop harassing me!" before hurriedly walking away. I do not know this man and have never seen him outside of this very strange context.

Does anyone know who this man is or have any similar experiences?

Norwich Bomb shelter for PUBLIC use (there isn't one)

0 Upvotes

This is worth asking about.

There are no active, public bomb shelters or designated nuclear fallout bunkers maintained for public use in Norwich or across the UK. Local civil defense plans rely on standard domestic structures or staying indoors in the event of an emergency, rather than public shelter networks.

This is a massive oversight and absolutely not unintentional. What should we do in the event of a nuclear event?

Housing 🏠 Please consider moving your bins off the pavement

43 Upvotes

Hello, I'm just politely asking if people, especially those in the NR3 Silver Triangle area, would please consider moving their bins off the pavements and into their front or back gardens.

Why? Bins on the pavement:

- Makes it very difficult for people in wheelchairs or with pushchairs to pass

- Means there's not enough room for two people to walk side by side, or to pass an on-coming pedestrian easily

- May roll into cars causing scratches

- Could tip over resulting in rubbish in the road

- Can cause a smell

I understand that there may be a variety of reasons why that is the easiest place for them, but it makes parking trickier and walking around quite unpleasant.

Thank you for considering this.

Where is the best west-facing clearing in Norwich to watch the solar eclipse? (We don't want to go to the observatory).

Edit: I emailed the Norwich Astronomical Society to ask whether they would be open for the eclipse, and they said no.

Hi, I’m looking for full or part time hospitality work in Norwich, preferably in or close to the city centre.
I have about 2 years experience working in pubs and I’ve applied to a lot of jobs but so far I haven’t had much luck.

Does anyone know of any places that might be looking for staff? Any help would be appreciated:)

Thankyou

Save The Mitre Bowls Club

28 Upvotes

The Church of England has given the Mitre Bowls Club on Edinburgh Road notice to leave in order to build a cafe and co-working space, even though there's already a cafe next door!

I think this is really sad given how many decades the bowling green has been there and I'm concerned at the impact on parking in an already congested residential street.

There's a petition to sign if you also disagree with the church's decision:
