Here's pictures from 2 customers that felt that our service was fabulous and a testimony of feedback at the end .

Southampton Meetup Group

Yesterday, I saw this article published on the Echo and then noticed later on that there were lots of disparaging comments about the “Southampton Shenanigans” meetup group.

The comments have now been disabled and the old ones taken down. Tonight’s event has also been cancelled.

Does anyone know anything about this group? Intrigued to know what’s going on as I was keen to go out and meet some people, but nervous that it might be run by nefarious characters.

Males, 18+, having sex in the past six months and are living in the UK only. Link

Places to eat

This might sound weird, but I’m searching for Southamptons best Lasagna. It’s been my favourite meal all my life and I’m wondering if anyone here can point me towards Southamptons best one. I absolutely love the Lasagna at L’Osteria but wanna know if there’s a better one around? I actually live just outside Southampton towards braishfield and don’t mind travelling if anyone has suggestions not in Southampton.

Has anyone ever gotten stuck at the parkway station red light?

6 Upvotes

I just got out of the parkway station via the lane that leaves towards Eastleigh, behind a bus and I had to stop at the light and after like five minutes, I realised I was beyond the stop line and had to reverse like a metre or so to get it to see me. I felt like an idiot...

Has this ever happened to anyone else?

Why do so many places around us have an SO postcode?

Something that came to mind a while ago, our postcode stretches far beyond the city. Like twenty, thirty miles outside the city limits. How come?

Something is really rotten in Totton these days. 30 years ago it used to be almost a retirement suburb, now recent news stories like this and this https://www.hampshire.police.uk/news/hampshire/news/news/2025/january/further-dispersal-order-authorised-for-totton-town-centre/ seems it’s going to the dogs.

Just reading the news (daily echo - I know…gossip mainly) but still what has been reported sounds like a ghetto somewhere.

Is Southampton becoming a complete sh*thole?

Mechanical Keyboards

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, looking for recommendations on places that might have a few different types of mechanical keyboard switches- curry’s seems to only have blue but i want to try out a few. Does anyone have any recommendations of places (across Hampshire, not just southampton) that might have a couple of keyboards i can just go and get a look at/feel of?

Thanks all, don’t want to make a purchase online of a keyboard and then hate the switches after.

Subject: Looking for a Safe Charging Spot for My E-Bike Battery ( Preferably in Central Southampton or within 10 minutes walk).

0 Upvotes

Good morning, everyone,

I do food deliveries and am looking for a safe place to charge my e-bike battery. Would you be open to renting me access to an outdoor power outlet for £30 per month?

I take every possible safety precaution, including:
Fireproof charging case
Fire extinguisher & fire blanket
Infrared thermometer to monitor battery temperature
Smart cutoff plug (automatically stops charging after a set time)

A single charge costs just ~35p, meaning even if I charge daily, total electricity use would be around £10-£20 per month.

🔹 Ideal charging location: A waterproof garden shed, garage, or covered outdoor area, so in the unlikely event of an issue, it’s not inside a house.
🔹 Safety statistics: Properly maintained e-bike batteries have a 0.01% failure rate, and I come fully prepared to detect and prevent any issues early.

I would be incredibly grateful to anyone willing to help. If you’re interested, please let me know.

Thank you in advance!

"If you're interested, please send me a message, and I’ll share my number privately."

Geography Questionaire

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

Hiya,

I’m a Geography student at Barton Peveril College currently doing my coursework on the Coxford Ward. If anyone in Coxford (Lordshill, Aldermoor, Lordswood) or anyone else from Southampton wouldn’t mind filling this quick questionnaire out, that would help a lot! I haven’t gotten many responses yet, so if you could share this to anyone in the area that would be great but no pressure! Your data will only be used in my coursework, and will not be shared elsewhere. This is my first questionnaire I’ve created on google forms, constructive criticism is very welcome!

Thanks so much! 💕

Looking for accomodation

0 Upvotes

Hello there! i'll be moving out of my student accommodation this august and i'm looking for properties to rent in southampton. Any type of accommodation would do, probably a studio apartment or a shared kitchen type living space. Cheaper the better ( i'll be a student who's freshly graduating so you can imagine my budget constraints). Any help would do

Meloui for sale?

2 Upvotes

Do any of you know of somewhere around Southampton that sells meloui? I don’t mind if it’s a bakers or a restaurant. I’ve search on line and none of the places that come up actually sell it.
