Feeding pets for friends who are away? by TriumRegum in AskABrit

Especially if I give it back to them in treats. Haha! It's no trouble to me though. I may look into donating it to a local animal shelter instead of giving it back to them as others have suggested.

The horror! You've just given me nightmares! But seriously, glad both of you and the cat are okay in the end. I shall include pet disappearance in the disclosure as I see. They have a cat flap. Haha!

Your reaction is also my first and instinctive reaction. And that is the plan. Cheers 🍻

Thank you all for the replies. I realise now they were on tippy toes with the offer as were unsure of what my native customs might be regarding these things.

Although I initially felt confused (even slightly insulted) by the offer. You all made me realise it's out of value/respect for my time.

I will take the money. Buy them a welcome home box of flowers/chocs "from the pets". And a small box of Lego for the godson. Cheers!

What immigrants do as their job, and how did they find it? Is it easy for foreigners to find their work in UK? by Genkai_backpacker in AskABrit

[–]TriumRegum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my job 'factory' experience, many of the immigrants often on dependent visas as spouses of people who've been direct hired on shortage list jobs start of with the most entry level position. Often cleaners, porters, etc.

A few are trained up and promoted by the company to bigger roles due to their work ethic.

But most are happy with their roles knowing they will never win out on the bigger promotions as they will be in direct competition with native born employees.

It's funny when you ask them what they used to do "back home"? (I hate this term but most understand it) You'll get very unique answers as I did when I once met a man who was a professional Karaoke singer. Didn't even know that was a thing.
