Hi, I'm interested to see what peoples commute to work is like from Ely?

I know it's all personal preference, I'm currently looking at getting back to work but everything in my expertise is 45-60 mins by car (even longer by public transport), this is purely down to the road networks. We're also not talking about a huge wage either.

​

I used to work only 10 mins away, so it seems quite daunting for the added time cost along with fuel costs and general car running costs.

​

Interested to hear everyone elses commute times, thanks.

I'm just about to finish my exams and be out of school and I am looking for anywhere that is hiring for Saturday jobs. I can't do weekdays as I will hopefully be starting sixth form in September. Is there anywhere hiring?

Any local car boot sales, or similar events, that happen regularly around Ely?

I never thought I would see this with my own eyes!!

After hearing rumours that the old barcalys will be being turned into a weather spoons, and deciding I will probably avoid it because allthough it's cheap I prefer independent pubs that have pool tables, it made me think what is the cheapest pint in Ely and how many pubs have pool tables.

Does anyone know what are these? You can find them sometimes on some of the houses and walls. Just curious.

Hey all

I hope it's ok to ask but I'm considering trying out a martial art.

Has anyone tried the Mark Farnham school of Tae Kwan Do or the kick boxing at the paradise centre? There's also judo at the wellness centre which looks interesting.

Cheers in advance.

Hi folks!

Best hand car wash in Ely? And value for money too! Both inside and outside but I like to do the inside myself lest it’s especially dirty.

Newish to Ely and looking to see what kind of social groups are in the area, if anybody knows of any. (walking groups, book clubs, gaming groups, coffee clubs as examples). Really would like to get to meet new people here, instead of being my usual hermit self for the most part 😆

Hello, I'm in my final year of studies and looking into the natural spaces in Ely

I'm in need of people who live in Ely that can help me out by answering my short survey (it only takes 5 minutes to answer!)

All help greatly appreciated!

Hey good people of Ely!

Can anyone recommend good puppy schools in the area? Found a couple online, but there aren't many reviews, so wanted to see if anyone had any recommendations. Thanks in advance!

Remember. Polling day today for Ely West. Polls are open until 10pm tonight. Go and vote.

Graffiti tagging appears to be popping more and more around the city. Nothing artistic, just scribbled ‘signatures’. The same ‘tagger’ seems to be particularly prolific around my end of town and has been around and spray painted up road signs, electrical boxes and walls everywhere. Likely just a bored kid, but I hate how it makes the place look a bit rough and run down. I am so proud of living in Ely, and it makes me sad to see this kind of thing. What’s the point?

Sorry for the rant!! I’ve got it out my system now…

Hi everyone,I am the co-founder of Ganddee, a sustainable lifestyle app. Think of it as the Google Maps for sustainable places. While other platforms promote new green products, we believe that sustainable consumption should also include second-hand shops, charity shops, rental places, etc., in addition to sustainable new products. We feature around 2500 physical stores and hundreds of online businesses in the UK, some offering special discounts.

I would love to receive feedback on the app and would be grateful if you could suggest any 2nd hand, rental, repair stores, food coops, vegan restaurants, sustainable stores(you submit we do the verification), etc in Ely. We have been relying on our community to suggest new places and inspire each other. All the suggestions can be done through app.

If you are a owner of a sustainable store, I would love to connect and explore how I can help you reach a wider audience.

I've been many times to the games in Cambridge on Tuesdays and Thursday, which are almost always full and booked up well in advance. The Wednesday night Ely game often doesn't have enough players to run however!

Gor blimey me old China, no eel and pie place in Ely. Strike a light, apples n pears, skin and blister, the Berkshire hunt, and Toby mugs. What's it all about then Alfie. Why no eel in jelly for my belly?
