Fly into Heathrow or Gatwick. They have direct trains to london. The Heathrow express goes direct to Kings cross and the Gatwick express is about a 5 min walk from there.
Thank you, most sites were giving Gatwick so I'll stick with there

Is London city airport an option?
It might be if I looked more, I believe it was Gatwick, Luton and Stansted most sites had, I'd be going from Glasgow

Stansted will work. Any one of them will require a train or bus but they’ll all take you into central London. They usually have express trains straight through.

He's my mechanic but he's also very interested in dating me. He says he meant it as a joke but it didn't come across that way to me.
He didn’t mean it as a joke. He meant it like you owe him, like if you are that person why would you turn him down. Why else say it?

Thanks, I've only ever been down to London once an it was a few years ago with a train, flying will be new to me an I have no sense of direction going into a city I know nothing about 😅

If those are my options I’d pick Luton. The train from there is direct to Kings Cross and probably only take 30min from Gatwick it’s almost 2 hours

This conversation took place via message.
He owns the garage so nobody to report him to
And do you have history with this guy? Like do you know him? Or has this all transpired since you took your car in for a service? If the latter I'd be screenshotting those messages all over Facebook tagging his business. I'm freaked out that you're not a bit more... freaked out by this 🥴

No I don't know him other than him being my mechanic. I've only been driving since 2021 so fairly new a driver 😅

He said he heard from people 🙄

I think I am gonna have to look around, my MOT and service isn't due for a month so I've got time
Promiscuous is a very judgemental word. He is being shaming and judgemental and you are falling in with it, shaming yourself by using that language.
So you slept with more than the average number of people? So what? If you didn’t hurt anyone and they were consenting adults, what business is it of anyone’s to make any comment?

I would not only not date the mechanic, I’d also find a new one and block him and his foolish, misogynistic, judgmental a. This type of man is bad news. He is making a snide moralistic comment about your sexual history and this is him trying to woo you? This is the best version of himself? Because that’s what we usually present at this point in time.

Trust me, he will use it against you.

Don’t agree to do something in bed he wants to do?
He will bring it up

He feels angry and upset about something you have done?
He will bring it up

He feels you have belittled or laughed at him?
He will bring it up.

Men like this are really bad news. He is starting a possible relationship by undermining you and making you feel ashamed and upset and passing it off a ‘joke’. bull. He’s just a weak minded, intimidated, POS who wants to ensure you stay in your place.

I do understand looking back on previous behaviour and feeling less than proud. But if you did not hurt anyone, perhaps you could extend some compassion to yourself and see your behaviour without the filter of entrenched societal morals? I have a high number of partners. All but two of them happened over 30 years ago and I had all the sex for really bad traumatic reasons. I used to feel ashamed and wish I had not slept with them, but now when I look back I no longer wish to erase the sexual experiences. Instead I wish each one had not been a desperate, futile attempt to regain control of my body autonomy, but a fun passionate encounter that was exciting, fulfilling and saucy. I wish the sex had been joyful and relaxed and had not filled me with anxiety and shame.

This silly, pathetic little man is intimidated by you and your past. Go and find someone who thinks you are wonderful. Or at least thinks well of you and is excited and happy to spend time with you. Not someone who starts off disapproving and passive aggressive.

If anyone makes stupid comments like that in future, stay calm and ask them exactly what they mean.
“Could you explain what you mean by that?/
Can you tell me what it is you are referring to when you say that?”
Why are you making comments about what I did 20 years ago? How is that relevant to your experience with me today? What is it you are trying to achieve by making a comment? Your comment was unkind and judgemental why did you make it? Etc etc. etc. Decobstruct their comments and argument.

Stay calm but poke, poke, poke until those Motherfuckers have to admit they are just small minded judgemental dickheads.

Thank you, those are the exact ones that I was looking at. I also have a toddler and not much time to shop so might buy online and hope for the best.
So ordered the sandals and they’re great for the width but sadly way too long in my usual size. So if anyone reads the thread and likes them, my suggestion would be to go down a size.

The only thing is you’ll need to take a bus or taxi from the airport to the train station
No, they won’t need a taxi from the airport to the train station. at Luton, there’s a rapid transit train thing now from the airport to the train station.
At Gatwick the train station is walkable. Same at Heathrow and Stansted.

Yeah, but isn’t that to the airport train station? That doesn’t go to London

Maybe you should text back that you've "heard" that he's only a 2/10 in the sack, and so you don't want to waste your vast sexual experience on such a loser? Oh, and definitely find a new mechanic. What a wick 😡

Not a problem as such, but how do you go about finding out when a court trial is? I’m interested in seeing the outcome of a particular trial but it’s not something that’s been reported in the media and I have no idea when it might be held.

Do you know where?

I know that ours has them on the towns court website, our council website has a link to it, you could try your own however you'd need to be certain it was going to be held at the court that the council owns an it's also a nightmare to hunt through every single one that's happening

Am not sure if asking the court where it's happening would allow you to know the outcome if you knew names an such, worth a try or they could hopefully give some information as to how you can find it out
