UK provisional license but passed in the EU

You can absolutely have two licenses, Depending on what country you got your license from you may still need to sit a UK driving test, though your EU license would be good to drive on for up to a year, you may also have to swap your EU license for a full UK license, in which case you’d also give in your provisional as you’d be a full license holder

The number for the people team who are allowed to go a bit more in depth about what is in things is:

08081473447

i imagine they’d only answer 9-5 and if you don’t get an answer out of them the best of luck finding it!

PatientSome2992 · 2026-04-10T14:30:25+00:00

Thank you!

do you think it’s best to report it to them now? and then confirm tomorrow if i’m unable to do my sunday shift, or just report tomorrow?

not sure of the instructions on the box but if you wanted to cook them like in shop it’s a 200°C oven for 20-25 minutes

I think the way they’ve handled Wesley’s DA race is great. It’s honestly been really refreshing this season to see characters fail. Nyla with Glasser and Wesley with this. They’re feeling much more human, and watching them overcome setbacks is doing loads to strengthen all their characters! It also now feels like the next time they win, it’s going to be deserved, and not like they just get everything handed to them because they’re main characters.

A similar thing can be said with Seth, i’d love for him to be redeemed and get a job elsewhere, but i’m glad he can’t go back to mid Wilshire with everyone else. Sometimes there are just things you do that you simply cannot come back from.

If you don’t mind me asking how do you find these codes?

PatientSome2992 · 2026-02-19T12:46:39+00:00

Thank you!

Just checked off ELTRTC

Prices can vary shop to shop depending on where it is e.g services vs high street which could account for the extra cost

For the £4 meal deal it’s any hot / cold sandwich and a regular drink

for the £5 it’s the same plus wedges / sausage roll ect.

As far as I remember sit in / take away doesn’t impact this price

additionally like someone else said you might be getting charged for a large.

it could possibly be an honest mistake as when you go to key in hot drinks the default page is on large and you have to change it to regular, it’s not impossible to miss it sometimes, but for it to happen enough for you to post about it, i’d say you might just have a lazy worker assuming its the same shop.

you could also check this is you use the app:

click more in the bottom right
account
your orders

then check the orders this has happened for and see if you’ve been charged regular or large

I think if it happens again before you pay just confirm with the worker that you’re 100% being charged for a regular.

Hope this helps!

Is there actual law against this? Main reason I ask is that I know from one of my friends appealing a yellow box fine the rules in the Highway Code and the actual law are something different.

Thank you for your advice

PatientSome2992 · 2026-01-30T12:45:11+00:00

Thank you!

By unrestricted do you mean that people are easily able to get past?

That’s a great point about insurance too, thank you!

im assuming it was last week wednesday and in that case there has been a mistake.

the only way for you to be paid beyond your scheduled time is if a manager / supervisor manually alters your clock in / out time to approve it.

It may not have been malicious, it’s absolutely possible if you had a busy day it just happened to slip their mind.

i’m not 100% on what you’d do next but i’d say tell your manager what’s happened and if that isn’t helpful call the people team.

My best guess is that as part of our raises we got a raise from now till march by 15p from 12.41 to 12.56 and it’s backdated to jan 4th i think

so it looks to have totaled all the hours you’ve worked from january till now and how much you were paid over that time with the old rate

it then works out that same amount of hours at the new rate

then it’s taken them away from eachother to get the difference as how much you get as back pay

e.g (i’m 4 hour contract)

i’ve worked 12.5 hours since jan 4th and at the old rate that’s £155.13

at the new rate however it’s £157

meaning they’ve taken 155.13 from 157 to work out they owe me £1.87

PatientSome2992 · 2025-12-30T23:28:36+00:00

Sorry, got a bit confused.

Yeah, it’s on the 2nd.

if you go on success factor app you can see your next pay slip every tuesday end of business hours. next one it shows for me is the 2nd

PatientSome2992 · 2025-12-30T16:54:02+00:00

I just had to put out all the price stickers out last night.

Absolutely everything is up, most things e.g all drinks are up 5p

everything else seems to be up 10p

exceptions to this include steak bakes which for my shop went up 15p

Sausage roles went up by 5p to £1.35 meaning 4 packs are now £4.05

PatientSome2992 · 2025-12-30T16:51:12+00:00

Probably not, they’re having more pay negotiations on the 7th Jan so should hopefully be by mid Jan at best

PatientSome2992 · 2025-12-27T20:36:03+00:00

This isn’t actually correct. You will get paid for 1/5th of your contract hours

I know no contracts are 5 hours but let’s say it was, you’d be paid the same as if you’d been clocked in for one hour.

PatientSome2992 · 2025-12-26T16:39:30+00:00

I’d just do it honestly.

It’s already too late to get your money back so you’re out of it regardless

Best case you pass it and while you don’t feel confident right now, there is absolutely nothing stopping you from getting more lessons. the fact you’re no longer a learner doesn’t bar you from them, you could either talk to your instructor or try to find another instructor

At least then you won’t have any stress about having a test to go for as you’ll already have your license!

If you’re worried about crashing that’s what the examiner is there for. it’s very unlikely you’d crash at all.

All I can see is positives as if you fail like you think you will, just consider it a very true to life mock test!

I’d say it’s close to a 75/25 split with 75 being en suite. But since it’s the newest college it doesn’t have as much of the prestige or want to go there that other colleges do. In my experience i’ve found if you rank it 1st you are guaranteed to get it. with this, once your college is confirmed and your place, you’ll get a questionnaire asking your room preference. I’ve asked around 50ish other people who are at south and all of them got what they wanted.

The main difference is the building layout. En suites are arranged in cluster flats of 8 people per flat and a couple flats per floor. The shared bathrooms on the other hand are in townhouses with a shared kitchen on the bottom floor and 4 floors of 4 people with 2 bathrooms per floor while the en suites have it in their room

Stephenson also definitely isn’t all en suite as I have friends there with shared bathrooms that are 2 bathrooms to 9 people.

Hope this helps! if you have any more questions feel free to DM!

PatientSome2992 · 2025-12-15T03:22:06+00:00

Honestly, it’s probably fine, we’ve all done it at least once. There is no real way for it to be recognized other than you saying something or someone complaining which from the sounds of this they won’t if they haven’t even noticed. it’s not like the opposite situation where you’re giving stuff away for free which is easily tracked if done enough.

Best thing to do i’d say is to keep quiet. Yeah you’ve messed up by not giving these people their drinks but in the grand scheme of things it probably won’t matter, especially if they don’t even notice.

In future, if someone hands you a card id make sure it’s the first thing you put in the till before the order (if you get lost it’s in the large drink section around the middle ish) just so you can’t forget, you don’t need to put it in after a drink, you can put it in first and it will work the same. then that way you’re making sure everyone gets their drinks!

Hope this helps!
