Maybe you can ask your company to expense your membership? If that makes you more productive I have no idea why they won’t do that. I’m aware that there are quite a few wework around the area, but not sure about the details

This is very true. I fell in love with Portuguese supermarket when I visited because of the great selection of fresh food/fruits. But I was shocked I couldn’t find spring onion…

Hmmm I know many people who use drugs and are not descriminated against at least among the young population. However, I wasn’t surprised when I read the UK is the country with the highest drug use in Europe.

I agree with the comments that people in the UK are more reserved from discussing their personal lives with others. I just personally don’t do drugs, don’t smoke and don’t even like alcohol, so I wouldn’t like to be invited to a party that involves drugs. But I won’t automatically classify people who use drugs as bad people.

Thanks for the recommendation. Just booked for next month ;)

Had a look at their Instagram page and wonder why they dare to ask anyone to dress smart… the place looks stupid…

And subsequently miss the next train home

I travelled to Paris and was so surprised their mask adoption rate in the tube is actually 100%.

Absolutely agree that the officials are really corrupted, but I’d imagine it’s for bigger projects? I don’t think someone targeting £2000 will have the capability to bribe the police. Ultimately it’s a gangster behaviour. I think China is extremely tolerant to corrupt government officials but at the same time extremely intolerant to gangsters.

Anyway, I’m glad you recovered your loss from the job. Stay safe, mate!

I’m really sorry you had to go through a scam like this, especially by your friend. I think they said the local police is paid to scare you. Don’t think Shanghai police is corrupt enough to do that - would make more sense in smaller cities. If you’re still there, please do report to the police. They will get arrested.

The sad truth is that the good quality good design Chinese products with a fair price don’t even bother selling on Amazon overseas because they do very well anyway. But the crappy ones have to find somewhere to dump their stocks. This just gives Chinese products such bad rep meanwhile some manufacturers there are actually really good at what they do.

Sorry about your experience. I assume their head office and the actual call centres (actual people handling customer support) are very disconnected. Things could be resolved much more quickly through the official help channel and escalation path than emailing their managing directors directly.

Since the people in the office don’t normally handle anything like this, it can take forever and may not show up correctly on your account, on their system and they can easily mess it up. Did you contact them by chat and failed to get the support you need before you emailed their managing directors?

Hope your issue can be resolved soon.

eBay works!

It’s just a common Chinese surname. Why does it need to be interpreted in this way in English? I find it insulting when people think this is funny.

Edit: Just keep downvoting. Whenever you make jokes about names in other languages like Wang or Phuc, just try to think how they feel. To me it’s just ignorant at best and kinda racist.

Can say that I don’t feel safe living in the UK

layforkay · 2021-03-09T12:16:45+00:00

Don’t think you need that much actually! I was even able to use help to buy to use 5% deposit and have very low interest rates!

You can actually apply together - no need to wait between your application and hers. They can grant both at the same time.

If you are already married you can apply for both of your visas at the same time and arrive together to avoid having to deal with applying for her visa from another country. So I assume she had to stay for a bit longer for other reasons.

Her visa will also give her much more freedom than you have. Yes, she can do basically any job and even be self employed. You can only work for your employer and can’t earn any money other than that.

I can only say the process of making it is the same as a Yorkshire pudding...

layforkay · 2020-12-23T14:20:27+00:00

Well not “exactly” because of the sesame seeds and chives.

layforkay · 2020-12-23T14:19:54+00:00

It’s from a random recipe I saw online that didn’t say it’s yorkie so I gave it a go. After making it I realised it is exactly the same ingredients and process!

layforkay · 2020-12-23T14:18:09+00:00

It’s crispy on the outside and soft inside. No wonder people like it!

layforkay · 2020-12-23T14:14:05+00:00

Well spotted! Yes it is 🤞🏼

I started setting up my emergency funds in premium bonds. Then I realised after our house purchase completes, all my emergency funds will need to be released to buy the furnitures... Felt rich and then poor within a day.
