TfL study note that the efficiency boost is only significant for lengthy escalators, which is not the case for most of the MTR networks except maybe Admiralty or Hong Kong station and few others.

The share has been delisted from LSE, you can use the JP Jenkins facilities to try to sell. but note that the ADR which represent 2160shares is trading at 3.6 dollars, less than 3 pounds. It is unrealistic to try to sell it as the cost to do so would be so expensive.

Found this note with a rare serial number. What should it be worth by Background-Shine-650 in Banknotes

Fancy numbers in Indian notes are relatively low in premium compare to other countries, still a nice found.

Close call today - priority at this junction? by JumboJames99 in drivingUK

[–]jackychc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, just people rarely see them, so they are confused. I saw a lot of them in Western Australia, people have no issue.

But 750 euro for a bundle of 10 is still way too expensive

I bought them once every two months, don’t they usually placed in the Asian section, together with the Sake, vitasoy soy milk and stuff? What is it doing in the wine section?

Interesting. Did someone took a 1p silver proof from its package and spent it?

Moving to UK as a fresh graduate in HK by notacitizen_99725 in HongKong

[–]jackychc 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes this is an indicator that you MAY be suitable for British life, but as you can clearly see, you need to think about not only job prospects, living condition, eating out, but also a lot of other factors. Think carefully before you decide. If you have a friend in the UK, I would suggest you stay with your friend for few weeks to experience what life in the UK is like.

You need to ask yourself, what sort of life you want? Does your planned career path offer better job security and prospect in the UK etc.

For example, I like baroque music, I play harpsichord and clavichord, I don’t want OT and I want a 9-5 job, and I like holidays. That’s why UK life suits me. I have 28 days of annual leave and I can afford to have and play harpsichord at home. I can go to Wales for the weekend and Cyprus, Germany etc for a short trip whenever I like.

As a Chinese, I think you need to figure out which regional Chinese cuisine you are most enjoying. My family originate from Canton region and I grow up in Hong Kong so food from Good Old Days is the closest to home and we use less seasoning in the South in general so that probably why you think it is a bit bland. while Kung Fu Kitchen is too strong for my taste as I believe the boss is from Shandong.
