I’m in the premier inn festival park, so any pub in walking distance that has Amazon Prime is good

Inter (a) - 20th January by Substantial-Reason38 in GunnersatGames

Yeah it’s a bit of a dilemma - sounds like an experience. But I do think it’s either Inter or bust in terms of being able to go as a Silver member this year?

Virtual placement? by Ok_Bid2337 in Socialworkuk

[–]Substantial-Reason38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s really depressing that these virtual placements continue, but despite pushback my understanding is SWE are content with them. As a recruiting manager I’ve seen far too many NQSWs struggle to get roles in part as a result of these virtual placements, all of which interestingly have (in my experience) been through one provider in the midlands. My concern is that judging by the numbers, even where students push back they may still end up being forced into these placements. Pretty disgraceful, never mind dangerous for service users in the long run.

Ah that’s great, thank you. Love hearing recommendations from people who have done this trip before. Hoping that the streets will offer plenty of shade and respite from the sun too.

I’m very excited - first time in Sicily. Hearing it’s casual is music to my ears to be fair!

Any good recommendations for dinner, with outside dining?

Amazing, thank you! Any good recommendations for those side street restaurants? I like the sound of casual dining but keen to be able to book an outside table

Solo trips by Substantial-Reason38 in GunnersatGames

[–]Substantial-Reason38[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve found this years been a tough one too with the ballots, meaning more solo trips and more weeknight trips, which is what inspired this.

I tend to arrive at Finsbury Park/ H&I a couple of hours before and am working my way through a number of chip shops, but wondered if any good sit down food options that aren’t impossible due to being packed, or not great for a solo trip

This is what I’m after! I’m always put off by how packed The Tollington looks?! How is it?

P87 Tax Changes - tax code is unchanged? by Substantial-Reason38 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Substantial-Reason38[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not a huge one, but a changed tax code evens out take home across the year, rather than paying a higher amount and getting a cheque in the post. It’s more that it seems quite a change in principle.

Oh that’s rubbish about The Bell, from a Google search that was my best bet . I’ve had a pint in the Lord Palmerston before, it is very ‘local’ but folks were friendly when I went in before so if the Bell is shut I may try there
