    British Food & Drink

    Anyone who could provide proper tea in good tea bags for a reasonable price and crisps with some flavour on them would do really well! I also agree with the person who said curry powder. It’s amazing how you take such basic supermarket products for granted!

    What would YOU do??

    Hi Karma, As some one who finished college and have debt but made the move i'd like to share some experience: Don't come here without a whole lot of savings, as much as you can get together. I work online but the money is terrible. Depending on your exp you might get a better one. I've...

    Inflation

    Do you mean out in resturants or in the supermarket? Eating out is still much cheaper but rising but in the supermarket it is getting way more expensive. Sometimes it's actually cheaper to buy something in a resturant/local cafe than cook it yourself in my opnion especially if your only...

    Inflation

    The inflation is insane! I’m leaving and took a lot of time figuring out when to change my flights too etc. It costs me every time I want to change them. I left myself exactly enough money for a bit of traveling and rent, basic food and an emergency. Rent and food are all I have left if...

    GMT clocks are a changing

    My sincerest apologies for offending your pedantic sensibilities. I was simply using a colloquialism common in my part of the world which refers to time as gmt. I’m just lucky that Howard, Katti and esllou were able to look past my grievous error and answer my question politely. Also...

    GMT clocks are a changing

    Forgive this post but the whole concept of time confuses me but I was wondering: The GMT clocks go forward one hour on Sunday. Now I seem to remember there was some confusion the last time the clocks changed here or didn't but were supposed to! :confused: So basically, are the clocks...

    Milk

    Forgive me I forgot that we’re only allowed to complain on this forum. I also forgot that chocolate milk has that age label on it that means after the age of 10 it’s illegal to enjoy it. Damn bureaucrats and their crazy laws!

    How tough is it to go and live in the USA

    I've edited this to make a shorter point. Don't use websites that claim to charge a fee but the process to apply for the visa can be expensive. for example when i calculated how much it cost in total to apply and interview etc. it was nearly 200 euros. expensive for me!

    How tough is it to go and live in the USA

    Well as i understand it he companywould have to pay for attorneys and a flat fee for applying for the visa. Although as the other poster mentioned for a big banking company the cost is nothing but you only mentioned that you have teaching experience and are over 35 which means that it would...

    Blood in the streets (and sidwalks).

    It is potentially a dog in heat (on season) who is leaving blood trails in the same area they are being walked? Some dogs only spot a little but some dogs leave a trail.
