Ah pele.
Big cities are trying to go green so they charge you daily for driving in low emission zones.

To avoid this you need to buy a ulez compliant vehicle or avoid driving in those zones.

Easiest way to avoid any stories is to get a Tesla, or recent hybrid/electric cars.

Welcome to the future.

Me I am still looking for 6.2/6.3 litre C63 w204, the engine itself is a beauty to look at.

There is this clean one I saw on Gumtree for an unbelievably low price. I messaged the seller to see if he would accept £25,000, he said the lowest he can go is £28,000. https://www.gumtree.com/p/tesla/black-tesla-model-s85-hatchback-2014/1398509455

Good evening Ancestors on this street. I need your guidance here. We just relocated to Coventry from Naija and in the process of finding school for the kids. We wrote to the council and they scheduled a zoom meeting with us where they interviewed us alongside the kids. (6 and cool they told us that the nearest school of our choice has vacancy for the 6 year old in grade 2 while they do not have vacancy for the other kid who should be in grade 4. They said the option we have is to accept the nearest school for the grade 2 and the other farther school for the other one while we apeal to the council to see if they can reconsider and place both in same school

That is one. The next is that if they eventually place them and we want them fed, we would have to pay to the school for feeding. That one confuse me. I thought public schools in UK feed their pupils. Abi Coventry own dey different. How do I handle this feeding own.

@mex551 How were you able to resolve this? did you appeal to the council? Or did you wait it out. I happen to be in a similar situation, the nearest school, has a place for year 2, the kid has started, the year 4 school is further away, he has not started because we are awaiting an offer from a closer school that has space. However the further away year 4 schools keeps calling that he should resume as its illegal for him to be out of school after being offered a place.

Yes its illegal..... although you might have a good reason why the child hasn't resume it is still illegal .what if that offers doesnt comes until 2 years or 3 years from now. Will the child continue to stay at home .

Please note if there is no space in a school there really no space and nothing anyone can do, especiallyfor oversubscribed schools ..... .. You either move closer or send the child to school however inconvenient

they were able to offer us same school. the kids has all resumed. The kids are doing very few subjects unlike in Naija where they do up to 15 subjects I will advise that you accept the offer pending when another opportunity comes for then to be in same school

All UK networks are equally the same, and offer very similar national coverage and competitively priced........

Would you be calling Nigeria directly or via WhatsApp calls ? ....

Would you have WiFi at home etc etc ?...

This is for people looking for short stay accommodation. I was paying about £70 per night to stay in a hotel for a conference, after paying and staying for 3 nights then I checked gumtree and saw a landlord looking for a flat share for another tenant, I messaged him and he allowed me to stay in the flat for 5 days paying £10 a night since the initial monthly payment was £300 for the shared flat per tenant.
It is alot cheaper than airbnb and hotel accommodation cheesy cheesy

I've finally been able to make payment.

But I have another issue lol
The appointment platform let me book an appointment date for April 15th. I didn't realize until this week that it is Good Friday which is a bank holiday. I don't know if they will really open that day.
Is there a fast Way to contact Nigeria high commission? Their phone never gets answered


Same thing happened to me until I saw your post, I’ve just gone to reschedule.

Please don't start this. Someone even committed murder because of this. Gambling can ruin one's life. It always starts as "just for fun".

You are right, it has destroyed many lives especially the younger ones. It’s very addictive.

If a non resident wins the lottery, they can’t claim the winnings , they will have to use someone they trust.

Your child needs to resume school ASAP before the school reports your family to social services. Last thing you want is the police at your door "conducting a welfare check" on your child and social services extending their magnifying glass in your family's affairs.

If you need financial support or assistance with transport costs, speak to the school and/or the council. That said, lack of finances to transport a child to school is not an acceptable legal reason to keep a young child away from school.

Some schools have waiting list of over 2 years and there's no guarantee your child will be offered a place till he/she starts secondary school. Are you saying your child will not attend school if this scenario plays out?

Refusing to take your child to the school that has offered you a place will not force the nearer school to grant your child preferential treatment and allow he/she skip the waiting list.
