Hmmm... is there anything else?
New to this forum so please be kind!!
I'm hopefully monving into Ossie in around the next 6 to 8 weeks (all being well) and other than a few Pro's knocking around is there anything else that I should be aware of?
Like what pub not to drink in, what take away to avoid any info that maybe of some help to me.

Re: Hmmm... is there anything else?
Pull up a chair.......
seriously there's loads of great things about Ossy, number one being the people, they'll do anything for you [even when you don't want them too!]
As for advice on Pubs, there are some 'rougher' ones, which l've always found to be very friendly when l've crossed their threshold.
Best meat pies- Martin's Confectioner's on Union road. Bit of nepotism there as it's my brother's, but it's been selling 'em for nearly 70 years. Also does new fangled paninis, ciabatta's etc if you like fancy foriegn muck.

Re: Hmmm... is there anything else?
Hello Rob. I know this isn't the intro thread but as it's your first post - Welcome to AccyWeb
I hope you settle in OK and enjoy living here. I'm round the corner from Ossy at the upper end of Willows Lane, Accy.

Re: Hmmm... is there anything else?
Where are you moving to in Ossy Rob?
See l really am nosey and checked your profile and saw you were one of the Cheshire set pushing up the prices for poor Gobbiners, [only joking.]
If you tell me the area your moving to [no numbers-beware stalkers! Lol.] l'll give you a rundown on any amenities and good pubs near by, and also warn you if you're going to live near any of us!
Don't go near the Park if you have a car, it'll end in tears!

Plenty of better places to live!
