They are racist in Glasgow i feel England is more cosmopolitan.. You walking on d streets and some white dude crosses over to d pda side..

That happens in almost every UK city I've been too. You'll learn to ignore.
Another racist behaviour is people refusing to sit beside you on the bus or train. grin
Or when you stand up to give the space to an old person, and the person ignores you and prefers to stand grin grin

Anyway, I much prefer Glasgow to Murder Capital.

Sorry about this...I stay in Glasgow and have experienced nothing but love since arrival. Although I know people might bear a certian sense of resentment towards me(the feeling is mutual) no one has ever showed it outwardly.

Another thing to.guard against is the perception that people are racist inherently, if you build that mindset then you would view everyone with suspicion which is not healthy...

Travelodges are affordable

I agree completely with you bro, if you have the mindset that people are racists then you will see every action as racism which might not be so. Have an open mind and go about your lawful activities and if there is any racist action directed towards you, remember the law us always there to protect you. I schooled in the UK and have travelled quite a lot in Europe but never experienced racism in any form. Just do your thing and don't send anybody [quote author=Nchabuomo post=67479492]

personally, I wouldn't class this as racism, as i don't know the reason why ...but i do this myself so i cant point fingers at other.
I sometimes prefer to stand even when there are seats available, space might be tight (the other person might be on the big side) or i want to make a call and don't want to inconvenience anyone...or could just be going a few stops..

I guess your in denial but you know what your brothers have stated here is a fact. The Blackman is seen as a threat everywhere I cant understand d logic behind all these but for those of you comming this are some of a few things you would be seeing on a regular.

awwww, don't worry. You'll get used to it eventually and it wouldn't bother you anymore.
From my experience, the smaller towns are a bit nicer to foreigners than London, Manchester etc.
From my experience, It's the other way round. In bigger cities, no one even looks at you.everyone is in a hurry just like Lagos

can you expatiate further. Perhaps theres something the other Ninjas here can learn.

In that area there are some shops like Sainsbury's but it is a predominantly white area. Your best bet will be to look for a carer role earning about £7 plus per hour. You should be able to contact agencies. This will allow you to get 20 hours of work. After this you can look into security roles or fast food/store assistant roles.

The cheapest way to move around in town or outside of town (like to London)? The only transport methods available will be car, taxi, bus, tube, train and bike. Or course bicycle will always be cheapest. You may need a car depending on where you go to as the bus system wont be as regular as that of London.

Get to know their age. Below 18yrs can land you deported, even jailed. Also, you dont force your way through whatever, it should be mutual, and dont take advantage of any situation. He who has ear, let him hear..

I thought 16 was the minimum age??

16 is still minor by law when it comes to "freelance". 18 is actually major by law, he/she is to take cause of his/her actions.

Most of those white girls crush on black guys but it can quickly turn the other way round.....let me tell you a quick story, I have a white chick who is so very fond of me, she wanted us to date but I kinda like her friend more so I always try to avoid getting too close to her...one Friday night around 11pm she called me that her cab disappointed her and she is scared of staying alone (she was at the club) to wait for another cab,
mind you my crib was close to the club, so I decided to go pick her, when I got there I didn't let her see me immediately and I was surprised to see her in d midst of about 3 white guys. I picked my phone and called her asking where she is and who is with her and to my surprise she told me she is alone ...I had to go back home from there cos it does look like a setup to me. I never asked her and we are still friends till today. A white girl can sleep with you today and hate you tomorrow without any reason. Please if you must play , stick with black girls whether Naija or Britico, they understand us better, and trust me I am speaking from experience....

Is there any way one can still get other jobs apart from the 20hrs per week stuff
Like working more and making more money apart from holidays?

Are you going for studies or job? 20 hrs is enough for student during academic period, then, you are free to work long hours during summer (end of session)
