Specialty coffee shops in Hendon.

I am looking for recommendations for good coffee near where I'm staying in Hendon. I'm by the Brent reservoir fairly regularly over the next couple of months. Not planning to go into central. With the greatest of respect I'd prefer only coffee snobs to reply, A good flat white anywhere local will do the job.

how much did your first car cost?

I got an S reg Mazda 323 hatchback in 2006 for £500. Sold it a year later for the same when I moved to London. Bought my mum a fridge with that money that she still has now.

What would be the equivalent cost for an entry level car today?

Finding a secondary school

Hi my partner is moving to Birmingham from London over the summer.

She has an 11 year old son and we need to find him a school. I don't have kids so I've never been through this process.

Do we need to contact schools directly or is there an office in the council we need to go through first? I live in North Brum.

16K budget for used EV

Looking to replace a Lexus NX300 with an EV. I am changing jobs soon so my mileage will drop but I will still need to go to London once a month for work from Brum. So looking at a round trip of around 230miles.

Main requirements are the range as above and a decent sized boot and space for 2 adults in the back. Budget is around 16K although looking at Autotrader that doesn't really get you much. The Skoda Enyaq is something that caught my eye.

What are the main things to look out for when buying a used EV? Are there any obvious checks for battery health etc?

Additional question - does the home EV charger you get make a difference? I am planning to get one of the wifi enabled options from Octopus.

constant app logouts

Does anyone else have issues where they have to keep logging back into the apps?

I am on android. I tried to raise a ticket with them when I was on my old phone but it happens on my new phone as well (pixel 6 and then 10).

Hi,

Has anyone upgraded to the opensearch v3.x operator and cluster?

When updating the Operator does it keep the old 'opster.io' labels?

I am wondering whether I need to update the various matchlabels config on other resources before I update opensearch or whether I can do it afterwards.

https://github.com/opensearch-project/opensearch-k8s-operator/blob/opensearch-operator-3.0.2/docs/userguide/migration-guide.md

The migration guide mentions the labels as a post-update check. It also mentions added annotations - nothing about whether the old labels will remain,

Is the parking next to Moor St Station still open and accessible?

It's been years since I've had to go but I need to pick up my partner from there over the weekend. I have a vague memory that the roads around there were closed due to the roadworks / building works going on a few years ago.
