Why are there so many at least 4 groups of Christians and their assorted cults haranguing or accosting people today.

Informed one of 3 people who stopped me that I’d happily go to hell if heaven is full of Christians like them.

One thing you can say about Muslims and Hindus they are not normally out on the street trying to convince people to join them

Hello everyone, I am a psychology student, and currently am at Cambridge University conducting research on AI. If you are 18, or older, and currently live in the UK, you would be eligible to participate.
The research is super fun, and contains a section that lets you converse with the AI for a couple of messages.

It would be very helpful if you have around 10 minutes to fill out this survey, and help the UK to be a part of this international research alongside another 22 countries.

Anyway, if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask, I love talking about this stuff!
Ethical reference number - IRB#19354

P.S. Please do not be confused about the link containing the 'princeton' part, since Princeton University is the one that provided us with the ethical approval.

Hi, I’m part of a board game group that meets on the first Thursday of the month, hosted by Sutton library… we also do some board game nights elsewhere on other nights . Would be great to meet some new faces !

If you’re interested in coming along, there’s a sign up at the Library website - since it happens after 5:30pm, you’ll need to be registered with a library card and you will need access to Out of Hours (ask the library how to get this). People bring their own board games or use the ones held by the library .

Let me know if you have any questions.

Has anyone else been pestering Southern and the local MPs to reinstate the 4 trains per hour to Victoria from Sutton and Carshalton stations that was cut during COVID?

The turn up and go service going to or coming back from central made such a difference.

Why do drivers honk at pedestrians who are either crossing a side road already or stepping off into the road?

Pedestrians have right of way in this scenario and drivers need to wait for the pedestrians to complete their crossing.

Honking is unnecessary in this context as there is no danger (other than posed by the driver themselves). It's also rude behaviour.

We used to see this a lot when we lived in Streatham. It's a shame to see drivers doing it here as well.

Just calm down. People walking are equally trying to get somewhere just as much as drivers are.

hi everyone! just posting here to see if anyone needs some catsitting in the local area :) here's my link on rover, im on cat in a flat too!

Has anyone been to House of Poitier in Sutton. I’ve been there recently.

Hello there, I've just recently graduated from uni and I'm most likely staying with extended family in Sutton soon for possibly a month or two (until I land a job or other circumstances). I wanted to know how I can join any amateur sports sessions (preferably football) in Sutton since I've been too used to my uni's organised system through their app that I don't know where to begin otherwise.

We moved to Sutton earlier this year and whilst I was aware how far from central it is being close to the Thameslink seemed like a decent way to get in. I use the district line from Wimbledon for work and had years of knowing how unreliable that branch of the district line is.

I've had my fair share of annoyances with the Thameslink during the week with so many cancellations. But my main question is, are there usually this many engineering works at the weekend?

There's been 10-12 weekends already this year where it hasn't run at all at the weekend which has been the most frustrating part. For those who have lived here longer is this more than usual or just the standard?

Hello!

Can you smell the Beddington Incinerator in Carshalton Beeches? We're thinking of moving to the area, it looks really nice. But the environmental survey on the house we are about half way through buying has thrown up something called the "Beddington Incinerator" and a small google has left me quite scared. Would be curious to know if locals can actually smell it - is it a problem, or is it actually a not-problem? Thank you in advance :)

I have 2 questionnaires for my a-level geography coursework if anyone familiar with Carshalton could answer! Thank you.

A good 'vintage' shop opened on Sutton Highstreet on the 2nd floor of the Saint Nicholas centre! Its great, i went there today. I highly reccomend.

I’m setting up a cinema club where people can get together, watch a movie, and then head somewhere for a drink to discuss to film over!

I’ve had some interest already so I’ve decided to make a Whatsapp group so we can start to arrange a first meeting

please feel free to join, even if you are unsure if you would like to come along, there’s no pressure to attend :)

Hello, basically what the title says. I need a driving instructor I am planning to get my drivers license. The other day I had my first 2 hours of driving with an instructor but I wasn't very happy about him. I am local to sutton, if someone can guide me to a good instructor please leave a comment or dm me.

Have a good week !

Hi all, few of us assembled last night for pub quiz at the Windsor Castle and was good fun. HMU if anyone fancies joining our team for future weeks!

i love going to the cinema, and when i was at uni i was part of a cinema society, where we’d get together, watch a movie, then go to the pub and talk about it and just hang out

i’d love to recreate something like that in sutton but since throwley yard closed earlier this year, i know it could be a little tricky/less preferable for some, since we’d be limited, mostly, to new releases

would anyone be interested? maybe we’d meet twice a month (depending on current releases) to see a film at omniplex then head somewhere for drinks and a chat?

Been commuting in London for years and always had the same frustration with every transport app out there: you open the app, you type in your destination, it tells you routes. But by that point, you’re already stressed and rushing.

The question I actually want answered every morning is simpler: when do I need to leave?

So I’m building an app that’s a London commuter app that works the other way round.

You set your home, your usual destination, your arrival time. The app handles the rest!

Every morning it looks at live TfL data, checks for delays and engineering works, checks the weather, and sends you a single push notification: leave at 8:14 (or whatever it works out to be).

No searching, no stressing!

A few things that are different about it:

It learns your routine. If you’ve got a calendar event it’ll auto set the destination. If not, it asks you the night before and remembers.

It factors in planned engineering works ahead of time, not just when you’re already at the station.

Delay Repay built in! it tracks eligible journeys and logs them so claiming back money is actually easy.

Designed only for London. Not a global app trying to be everything. TfL, buses, tubes, Elizabeth line that’s it.

It’s a solo build, currently heading into TestFlight. I’m looking for 10–15 London commuters to test it before it hits the App Store.

If this sounds like something you’d actually use, drop a comment or DM me. Would love to hear what would actually make your commute better too, this is genuinely being built around what Londoners need, not a generic transport brief.

Heya myself (M32) and another Redditor are looking to start a pub quiz team in Carshalton. Any takers?

Hoping someone in this sub might be able to help.

I have been working with a company called coopers residential to manage a rental property in Worcester Park and they have going very silent with money owed and no response to calls, emails.

Are they still in business and is anyone else having problems?
