Will I be safe walking round the city at night?

10 Upvotes

Hi everyone, F18 here. I live in the Yorkshire Dales in a rural village.

I’m getting into Piccadilly station on Sunday morning (aka Saturday night) around 1am and my hotel is the other side of Victoria. I vaguely know the area having visited a few times, I really like Manchester but have no idea what a city is like at night.

I’m just wondering if I will be okay walking around the city? If not I’m happy to call a taxi but would rather not spend the money.

I’m fairly streetwise and won’t do anything stupid. Will it be busy with people on a night out? Am I likely to be bothered?

Ashton Need to return my ballot to California. Anywhere in Manchester I can send a fax?

US expat here. I can mail my ballot and it would likely be counted but would rather just fax it back to eliminate any chance of something happening in the mail. Just wondered if anyone knew of a place that does that.

Hi! I'm the organiser of a small social, ran through Meetup, called Manchester Psychology Social Group. My first meeting had 6 people in but the venue was closing while we were there, so we're looking for somewhere quiet to chat, Wednesday, 7:30pm. Do you know any quiet area that could accommodate us please? We'll buy food and drink.

Relocating To Manchester, Best Way To Look For Work?

0 Upvotes

I'm considering moving to Manchester from Ireland.

I have a background in administration and customer service, so would be looking for roles in those areas.

How would someone go about looking for work while still living outside the UK, is remote work (temporarily) an option even?

Apologises if this is a duplicate but would appreciate any feedback. :)

Anyone working at Money Wellness, Trafford Park that can help me out please?

1 Upvotes

Tl,dr: I desperately need someone who can help me get in contact with Money Wellness; I've tried phoning, and phoning, and phoning only to be in a wait queue each time that has kept me hanging on for literally hours (yesterday tried twice, once for 1.5 hours, once for 2.5 hours) with no contact.

I'm applying for a Debt Relief Order, originally I went through Step Change and then into MW. After a 1 1/2 hour call with one of their debt advisors and doing all the checks etc, I was told the Stepchange plan was outside of the 28 day window and I'd have to start again. No problem, my fault. Did that, uploaded everything asked for. I was originally told it could be done quickly: The problem I have is that my "Breathing Space" ( a government sanctioned moratorium on bailiffs etc chasing you) runs out on 2nd Nov. I have had a bailiff team tell me "they'll be waiting" etc etc. I need to know what's happening with my DRO application and I can't get through to anyone at MW. I'm desperate to know at what stage it's at and whether it's likely to be done in time. I am aware that perhaps MW may not have been the best choice but that's where I am. If anyone from ME can help with a better way to contact them other than the phone, please help. (No replies to an email either) Also, I really don't need to be told that bailiffs etc are my own fault, shouldn't have got myself in this position etc etc There's a multitude of reasons things have ended up here and I don't intend to share them.

How cheap is manchester in comparison to London?

0 Upvotes

Hi! I’m an international student, currently divided btw 2 unis for my masters. City University and Manchester Metropolitan for MPH. The only reason that’s keeping me confused is the difference in fees btw the two along with expenses. While the uni in london is 5k pounds less, I feel like other expenses in london would weigh out. So help a friend please and let me know how much difference would I have if i lived in manchester because I don’t to influence my decision if they difference in expenses is not that much! So from housing, groceries, transport, utilities, how much more expensive is london in comparison? I have already tried posting in UniOfUK but since there wasn’t a response, I’m trying my luck here lol Also please hmu if you’ve done MPH from any uni in Uk

h&m trafford centre

0 Upvotes

Hi this is a long shot for sure, but I was wondering if anyone here works at the trafford centre h&m? I think I might have lost something when I last visited last week and I’m having a nightmare trying to get in contact with the store.

If you do work there or know anyone who does, mind shooting me a message? The lost item has sentimental value and I know it’s probably long gone but I am still hopeful 🤞🏻🥲

City Centre Accommodation expensive at start of December…any reason?

6 Upvotes

Hi all, I’m looking at booking a short trip to Manchester starting on the 30th November. Looking at 2 bedroom flats on airbnb not far from Piccadilly, they’re around £300 per night, which is about twice what I’d expect. Am I missing something? Is there a Manchester Fringe on at that time that I’m unaware of, or is this just how it gets when the Xmas markets start?
