Looking for a radio

Hi all, is there anywhere in Peterborough I can get a good small to medium sized, second-hand portable radio? (Tight budget atm)
Recently moved into a small bedsit close to the city centre, and looking for a bit of background noise until I can get a TV
Thanks! :)

Any African shops where I can buy ingredients to cook?

What it says on the title. Can't find most of the ingredients I need in the supermarket, so I'm wondering if there are any specialised shops I could go and check if they have what I need?

Making friends in Peterborough

Hello all, I’m a Peterborough resident and have been all my life, but have never really made friends here or have a social life. Just wondered if anyone else is a tiny bit lonesome like myself and looking to make new pals, I’m quite shy at first but will get chatty when comfortable. Up for any form of socialising, just ask for a bit of leeway being a shift worker who commutes to London 6 times a week, please don’t take offence at my indecisiveness. My main passion is theatre so if there’s anyone with a flair for that I’d be delighted, but do love sport, board games even catching a movie! Happy to socialise in Peterborough or even take a trip to London!

Sorry to seem desperate, but I think it’s time I got out a bit more! Oh and I’m a 27 Year Old Male and ideally looking to make friends probably a few years younger to a couple years older than me! Thank you :)

D&D one shot / demo today 2pm

Hey folks, looking for something to do? I'm hosting a Dungeons and Dragons one shot at 2pm at CommuniTea Gaming in Orton! It's level 3 premade characters, so all you need to do is turn up!

I need 3 more players to be able to run today!

The shop does request that you buy something whilst there, to keep the lights on!

Best ways to save on commuting to Huntingdon

Hi all,

I previously posted about commuting to Huntingdon for a new role and have now decided to go for it.

I’ll likely be driving from Peterborough to Huntingdon around 4 days a week and would appreciate any tips on keeping the commute as cost-efficient as possible.

A few people suggested looking into a cheap EV. I currently have a small VW Polo, so I’m weighing up whether it’s worth switching or just sticking with that initially.

Would appreciate any advice on fuel costs, parking, EV charging, or general commuting savings.

Thanks!

Charity bags not being collected - reason?

Am I the only one that this happens to? It doesn’t seem to matter which charity it is, they never collect the filled bags. I’ve now stopped bothering and take my stuff into a charity shop instead but am curious as to why this happens every single time - what do charities get out of consistently doing this?

I am PE1 postcode - Eastfield Road area.

Hi I’m new to this city and was looking to make some friends

People who will accept me and not judge the fact that I’m a cross dressing male, I want friends with people who won’t judge me and want to help me come out my shell and explore this side of me
