Immigrating to the UK

[Messugga]

Yep, I’m somewhere between Manchester and Liverpool

Wigan?

 

[prod]

Wigan?

Nah, although I did look at properties there. I’m a bit more north, close to Chorley

 

[Dave]

Man, everyone is spread out

I think I’m at the extreme edge of your spread

 

[AdrianH]

I think I’m at the extreme edge of your spread

That's probably a good thing

 

[Sinbad]

I think I’m at the extreme edge of your spread

God the mental images

Abandoned Geordie coal mine?

Abandoned Geordie coal mine?

Just about, funnily enough there actually are old mine workings not that far away from me.

Man I love the UK. On my way back to SA tomorrow, but made enough money in one week to last all of December and then some. It absurd how acceptable a £1000 day rate is here.

My advice, just pay the visa fees, you will make back the money in 3-4 days max!

That's hardly good advice. Very few people are on that sort of money. The average salary is 27k a year.

If you have the funds and ability to pay the visa fees you are not going to be on an average salary. Over a two and a half year period between visas it’s really not that difficult to put away the money for visa and nhs fees.

Fair. But my point was that getting the money back in 3 or 4 days is not really accurate.

Yeah it’s extreme but I take it @heartbroken meant it in a “why overthink it” way and i find it hard to disagree with the sentiment. Buying a home is a far bigger hurdle than the visa and nhs fees.

There I agree. In the end, the fees are just part of the costs of moving to a better life.

The snow is really coming down now…

It’s been enough to cover the path and almost cover the grass but now it’s stopped and the sun is trying to come out…

 

[prod]

[Dave]

Snowing again, grass is covered now.

 

[The Voice]

Just kak cold down here in Londinium.

 

[Messugga]

Sitting around freezing point all day. Typical for winter here, and it plays havoc with my energy bill. Hopefully I can buy a house next year and do the proper upgrades with regards to insulation and whatnot, to make keeping the place warm a bit cheaper.
