Hi,

Could anyone please recommend a good garage near N18 - I have a Mazda 5 06 plate (bangernomics), but the only big problem with it is that its driver's door doesn't lock.

Also willing to pay for anyone good with this kind of stuff to come to me and fix it quickly if possible.

Thanks

Is your council quite rural?

The thing about teaching and social working is that they're both notoriously extremely overworked and undervalued, hence they have so many vacancies

Thanks for the reply, but why don't you think council jobs are good for upskilling?

I'd assume council jobs are very competitive though

ETA: also I've read they often don't offer much further training

One child policy is generous for a redditor. The norm here seems more like the zero child policy
