My first ‘short film’ about Birmingham

Made this last year as my first videography project, showcasing different parts of Birmingham. The full video is just over 2 minutes on YouTube, but here’s a short clip from it. Looking back, I’m still really pleased with how it turned out

Why are letting agencies getting away with charging premium prices for what are basically glorified cupboards?

I’ve been scrolling listings and it’s the same story every time — “spacious double room” that barely fits a bed, priced like it’s a luxury apartment. And don’t even get me started on actually trying to contact them… you call, email, fill out forms, and it’s like shouting into the void.In the past weeks i called multiple agencies and they all send you straight to a voicemail. Is anyone actually working there ?!

Are people actually managing to get viewings or is everyone else being ghosted too? And who is renting these places at these prices??

Genuinely curious — what’s your worst experience with letting agencies? Or is it just me losing my mind at this point?

Removal company recommendations

Anyone used a removal company recently they could recommend? I will be going from B42 to WS1. Great Barr to Walsall. Currently collecting some quotes.

Where to donate a microwave that stopped working in Birmingham?

I've got a microwave from the Facebook Marketplace that one day just stopped working. It looks good otherwise, no signs of rust. I'm pretty sure it can be fixed or at least used for spares.

Where in Birmingham can such a microwave be accepted? I tried calling a local repairs shop that fixes and sells second-hand appliances but they refused to take it. I don't think it will be accepted to a charity shop.

Maybe, I should throw it away? How can it be utilised?
