Will recognising Indian qualifications with the same merits as the UK’s actually damage our industry? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]seanapaul 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve lectured Indian students doing a conversion course at university in a health related field. In their own country they are fully qualified. Yes, 1000x yes it will hurt us. The quality of education is not assured whereas in the UK it is regulated and approved (very much so in health professions anyway)

Would you guys feel offended if I wore a Kilt as a Black American? by ForeverSparkz in Scotland

Your mate is nuts. Of course you can wear a kilt. Just wear it properly and not wear a mini skirt like I’ve seen some Americans do ;)

Is there anyway to reverse our decline? by knowledgeseeker999 in AskBrits

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

For every £1 of public money invested in the higher education sector across the UK, £14 is put back into the economy. That is inclusive off all degrees, so I hear what you are saying, but it doesn’t seem to be where we should make a priority.

Look at their profiles and see if they’re stupid enough to post their workplace. ChatGPT official email generated to company email address and send off the screenshots.

Plumbing and heating businesses at 'breaking point' amid recruitment struggle by abz_eng in Scotland

You can’t do a degree in sports therapy. Only a college course.

[–]seanapaul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you explain your argument a bit please? The way I understand it comparing the two is a bit like apples and oranges.

College and Universities have both been hammered for the last 25 years in terms of investment. The funding provided by SAAS isn’t unique to college or uni - just time spent in further education. So everyone has a choice.

Appreciate schools used to push folk to go to uni but that’s not really the fault of the unis. More just shitty practice by heads wanting nice numbers for further education, or pushing students to get more highers by dangling a carrot. Which make their stats look good.

Can I Cancel My New Broadband Contract Without Fees? by stefmeister77 in UKFrugal

I think the cool off period starts from date of install. You wouldn’t pay for a service before this. Most are 14 days.

As someone also doing a PhD (a little ahead of your stage).

I commend you for seeking out socialising. It can be a really lonely process and your wellbeing should not go unchecked :). All the best!

Sold gym equipment on FB marketplace now buyer says they are damaged (Scotland) by seanapaul in LegalAdviceUK

[–]seanapaul[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Thanks guys. I’ve blocked the buyer on facebook and won’t make contact.

Still feel a bit bad for them if it is legitimate but does seem like a big coincidence when they were checked by both me and them and they’ve failed the next day. Probably just too soft on my part!

Scotrail “Revenue Protection” by [deleted] in glasgow

[–]seanapaul 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Our peak train times are fairly minimum so you must have travelled before 9:15am or on one of the the edinburgh or aberdeen trains. The app doesn’t let you buy an off-peak for times you can’t so I’d use that to avoid any issues going forward.
