Inkredible: £1500 payment on a fully comprehensive policy on a Clio, sounds a bit excessive though... I would wager £600 - £800........ 2 Likes |

Inkredible:1500? Is it to buy another car? If you shop around you should get for less than half of that. 1 Like |

My people, how do you know you are actually ready for your driving test? I want to judge if I should just go ahead and do the test or keep practising. Still making some mistakes at the roundabout. |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by DaveChapelle: 3:06pm On Dec 08, 2018 |
fatima04: best practice, if you make serious errors, instructors usually drive the car back. There's no trial and error |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Lexusgs430: 7:23pm On Dec 08, 2018 |
fatima04: If you are making mistakes at roundabouts, you are possibly not ready. This mistakes you are making, are under normal driving conditions, if you add the tension of the driving test to it, you might make worse mistakes. What sort of mistakes are you experiencing? |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by fatima04: 8:46pm On Dec 08, 2018 |
Lexusgs430: It's one particular roundabout where I am supposed to go straight ahead on the right lane. So once I judge it safe to move to the left I signal and start but instructor says I do it too early. Then maintaining lanes in unmarked big roundabout sometimes as well. I taya no be small. 1 Like |

fatima04: In order to stop contributing to your driving instructors piggy bank, if you know someone that has held a full driving licence for 3 years, get them to add you on their insurance (weigh the extra cost), add an L plate front and back and go practicing....... Are you using manual or automatic? |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Lexusgs430: 1:00am On Dec 09, 2018 |
Incase anyone wants designer trainers, for a fraction of the price........

Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by fatima04: 9:50am On Dec 09, 2018 |
Lexusgs430: Will explore that route, it is even timing that is my problem. Can only do Saturday most time. Using automatic. |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by fatima04: 9:51am On Dec 09, 2018 |
Lexusgs430: That shoe must take someone to heaven oo 18,500 pounds ke |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Lexusgs430: 9:55am On Dec 09, 2018 |
fatima04: Automatic is automatically much easier, it takes the gearing ratio away..... You just need more practice...... If you get someone and do a 4 hour roundabout training. On the 5th hour, you would be a pro, at the end of 4 Saturday intensive sessions....... |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Lexusgs430: 9:56am On Dec 09, 2018 |
fatima04: Drug money, nah like blood money..... Easy to spend almost £20,000 on designer footwear...... |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Ugosample(m): 10:05am On Dec 09, 2018 |
fatima04:the 18500 is for the 55 pairs of shoes, not a single shoe just saying 1 Like |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Lexusgs430: 10:23am On Dec 09, 2018 |
Ugosample: Even at that...... That's about £336.00 per pair. Some might cost way more or less.... But just for calculations sake....... |

Lexusgs430: coming from Nigeria with a weak currency often messes up my pysche when I want to purchase certain things You go to a restaurant and they say the bill is say $24 for example, I start doing maths in my head and start feeling sorry for myself Even in Ghana, each time I buy a drink for 3.5 cedis as opposed to 1.3 cedis equivalent in Nigeria, I will just he shaking my head but to them, it's not much of a big deal..... dem don present the shoe for bend down select make una buy o |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Lexusgs430: 10:37am On Dec 09, 2018 |
Ugosample: Let's even put weak currency to one side, £336 is a lot of money for a pair of shoe..... But on certain aspects, spending hard currency for a visitor might have you doing quick calculations and aborting misson...... But, we only live once...... |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Ugosample(m): 11:01am On Dec 09, 2018 |
Lexusgs430: of course its a lot of money for shoes Coming from a $hithole country with $hithole currency makes the predicament even worse. 90%of Nigerian workers don t even make that amount in one month You are right, you only Iive once But reckless spending is out of it for me 1 Like |

Lexusgs430: It is a lot of money bro. I went into selfridges once to checkout their louboutins. The one I liked was £1200, fear catch me. If I buy that, it's not touching the floor. So it's a waste of scarce resources. 1 Like |

wonlasewonimi: Haba, you could have bought it, put it in a glass protected cabinet (only to be seen for picture session and indoor walking only)..... |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by wonlasewonimi: 11:58am On Dec 09, 2018 |
Lexusgs430:LOL that would have defeated the purpose of having the shoe. I don't even have Instagram, twitter or Snapchat, I'd have loved to show it off. |
