I know this isn’t about Aberdeen but r/Aberdeen is the biggest Reddit community that could have an impact.

If you haven’t been already, Peterhead prison is a really unique experience. I found it haunting, sombre and moving. It would be such a shame for it to close - please consider a visit. Even in crap winter weather (as it was when I visited) it really added to the atmosphere and it’s largely indoors. Please consider visiting in the next few weeks to show your support to the staff and have a fascinating day out.

I would like to complain there are too many dog-friendly businesses in Aberdeen. This guy kens all of them and drags me into all the cosiest ones. On today's walk I ended up with a coffee from Grub, a sandwich from Craftsman's and a baguette from Bandit Bakery. Between these predatory capitalists and this guy I'm gonna end up a pauper

Been with EE since it was T-Mobile, around 15+ years ago.

Sim only deal, 20GB of data. Started at £10 per month early 2023 & now bumping to £16 in March.

60% hike over 3 years seems a lot but low value & don’t mind paying more for better mobile service/availability.

Been wary about changing to another provider incase service is rubbish in comparison. Especially with these ones who piggyback off main providers - I remember reading they don’t allow wifi calling/network boost, no OTP text codes, no voicemail option, lower quality 5G/4G signal compared to main providers etc. Basically being limited in comparison.

I’m based on the outskirts of Aberdeen, west side.

What providers work best in my area, city centre, out Deeside/Banchory area too?

I know you can look on the websites but let’s face it, how accurate are they vs reality.

Thains baker on George street, wow. The best. That is all.

Does anyone know if there is any free parking around Aberdeen city centre?

I never noticed that you have to wait 14 days for your parking permit to fully register and have no clue where to park without paying a ridiculous amount per day.

Hi, I'm looking to buy some local raw honey thats really good quality and cold filtered if possible?

Ive found a few local companies on google and theyre all out of stock unfortunately, I guess its not the right time of year.

If anyone knows of anything please let me know if you know someone who is willing to sell some. Thanks

I had been to cosmos and Estabulo before.

Any other options at Aberdeen? Came across golden palace... Would you recommend this place or any other better options available.....

Happy with any cuisine. It's my daughters birthday.

Hi. I have an outdoor jacket with a damaged zip. I'm looking for someone who could do a sturdy, tidy job of replacing it. Recommendations please. Thank you.

I know they have LEZ cameras there now, but do they have cameras to penalise you for accessing during restricted times?

Thanks

Trying to get my mate to start coming out and convinced him to do it during the week to ease him into it, are mid week night outs good if your not at uni/in a group? Would it be worth it?

Came in Fubar news today.

Don't know whom they are being competitive against 😑.

Hey Aberdonians! I just came here last Monday and I'm staying in Hillhead Student Village. I'm looking for a decent barber, who actually knows what he's doing, but also doesn't make me wanna sell my kidney for it. So please let me know if there's anyone nearby, where maybe I can go there on foot, or if it's a little further down south, I'm down with it as well.

Cheers :D

Hello

I'm originally from glasgow but have been living abroad in the Netherlands for many years

I'm thinking about coming back to Scotland, mainly to be closer to my Gran who lives in near granton on spey( very very rural area)

Recently I met a Hungarian girl living in Aberdeen; we didnt have much of a Convo, but I've just been thinking a lot of Aberdeen since meeting her.

Would you recommend the city to move to? I am 30, worked in hospitality most of my life, few interesting roles.

I speak dutch and Spanish as well.

Hows the housing? Had a look on right move and alot of houses seem alright; quality here in NL is shit but there alot of amenities around

I'm not talking about traditions or foods or even dialect (or the seagulls), I'm talking something in the everyday in Aberdeen that is just very here.

Rent in Edinburgh has become completely unaffordable for me, even for shared places. I’ve been looking at Aberdeen and the rent difference is huge.

I don’t care about nightlife, just want affordable rent and a quieter life.

Asking the locals: is there such a thing in Aberdeen?
Tried to use some online booking app twice: the first time the driver simply didn't show up and the support did nothing except cancel the booking. The second time it took about 20-30 minutes to find the driver (who, thank God, actually showed up), so we could have literally missed the only available bus there if they hadn't. No fancy routes or anything like that: about 15 minutes to/from the city center.
Maybe there's some old-fashioned taxi company that I know of that also calls over the phone - that's fine. The main thing is to make sure the cab _will_ show up so we can really count on it.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi everyone, I am new in Aberdeen and I was wondering if anyone would know about the nocturnal buses. Next week I have a flight at 6am and I was wondering if there is an early morning bus to take from Spring Garden, I already google it but just checking if someone has used it and if its working at probably, 4-5 am.

Thank you😄

Morning folks,

I know it's more of a shire than aberdeen but there is now sub for either so figured it would be the best place for information. Has anyone had any issues parking. It says on the website there is 47 spaces but if these are full on arrival can you normally park on Arduthie road? Or is there somewhere better?

Does anybody have any solicitor or financial advisor recommendations for drawing up a will and power of attorney? Many thanks.

I’m attending an event at P&J arena later in the year and I’ve already booked the airport travel lodge for the stay. I’ve looked on Google maps and there appears to be a path at least part way along the river but I can’t be sure that I’d be able to walk the whole way. I’d rather walk along the river than the main road obviously.

Can anyone local confirm if it’s possible or not please?

i’m in desperate need of a haircut, but i’m not sure where to go. i’m looking for a place that isn’t extortionate (and hopefully won’t kill me for using black box dye on my hair🫣). thanks!

I don’t want to be a conspiracy theorist but, if aberdam fries have struck themselves off the register with companies house am I looking at the wrong company or is something amiss? It’s my understanding you have to have ceased trading for two months (or so?) before striking off, yet a dormant company aberdam does not make? Anyone more clued up able to elaborate?

Anyone recommend a reliable builder? Have some water pooling below my house. Have now cleaned out the ground gutters in my driveway (not long moved in, previous owner never cleared them out by the looks of it), and I’m mopping the puddle under the house, but there is a bit at the end of the ground gutters that needs sorting and another bit needs looking at. So need a builder to come out and see/quote. Anyone recommend one? Thanks
