I remember walking in the door after I'd passed my driving test years ago, and seeing the disbelief…read moreon the faces of my parents. I've never been an amazing driver, and 6 years of not driving at all between living in Canada and moving to the UK left me wondering if I even remembered how to do it. I'd been managing on public transport, but the time came to get a car, sparking a panic about actually driving it. After multiple failed attempts to book lessons with other companies, I stumbled across Result. I emailed about lessons on a Saturday, saying I was in work and couldn't take calls, so they texted me back. Point number one in their favour! I asked for a refresher lesson the next Saturday, and they said fine, and that the instructor would text me to arrange the time. Within an hour, Abdul had texted and arranged to meet the next Saturday afternoon. He was very encouraging, even via text. Abdul arrived slightly early (more brownie points) and we went to a quiet area to begin. He ran over some basics before starting and then off we went. He's super calm, and I learned things I had never been taught before, and found that my clutch control was better than ever after just half the lesson! I asked if we could do more, and he said we'd do a bit of parking in lesson 2. He again found a time that suited me, and arrived early. Again, I learned new (and better) ways of doing things. Added bonuses were getting advice on which car to buy, and what to avoid (so useful) and great tips and tricks to make driving life easier. I had read about driving schools trying to upsell and tell people they needed lots of lessons, but he was the opposite and told me I'll be fine! I really respect that integrity, and am so grateful for all the increased confidence he gave me. The standard rate is £22/hr and it's worth every penny. Thanks to Abdul and Results for taking a huge weight off my shoulders. Thoroughly recommend, without hesitation!

I 100% recommend Ripon from RSM Driving School. I learned to drive for the first time at the age of…read more35 and passed my test on the first attempt, entirely thanks to Ripon's teaching. He is incredibly patient, non-judgemental, and structured in his approach. He made sure even the smallest mistakes were addressed and always prioritised safe driving above everything else. I was extremely nervous at the beginning, but Ripon's calm and supportive teaching helped me gain confidence and pass successfully.

So grateful to Mubarak for helping me to pass my driving test at Kings Heath. This journey has been…read morean amazing experience overall! I looked forward to my driving lesson, they were one of the best parts of my week, and that's thanks to Mubarak! He's patient when you are learning, very encouraging and it's clear that he believes in his students, which is always so uplifting. I always left my lessons feeling more confident about myself and my abilities which even reflected in the rest of my week! As a nursing student I have an inconsistent schedule due to placement and Mubarak accommodates that efficiently. Allowing me to schedule lessons flexibly. I would definitely recommend Mubarak to new learners! He taught me all I needed to know and organised lessons based on my weaknesses that helped me to improve them. Thank you so much to RSM driving school and Mubarak!

I went on one of Loaf's bread making courses back when it was run in the director's house and it…read morewas lovely to finally be able to go back and see the bakery in it's not-so new location. Having the day off I popped in when they'd just opened and was pleased to see a steady stream of people popping in to pick up bread - something I didn't expect for a mid-week lunchtime in the suburbs. The bread isn't as cheap at the stuff in the supermarket, but it's handmade and delicious. I picked up some focaccia, which was glorious, and also some of their lunch offering which was a decent portion for the price. I hear there can be queues at weekends and they often run out early so it's worth heading down sooner rather than later.

A presence on Stirchley High Street since 2012, it's only since moving closer to the area that I have stumbled across this place (thanks to the Brum food scene social media). Fresh loaves of sourdough, rye, sweet buns, and changeable lunches everyday - the salt beef if heaven - bring something special to the area. Add in their popular cookery school and 'takeover' evenings - last night it was a Chicken Shop takeover - and this community bakery serves more than just hungry tums...it is good for the soul too!
