They may have had such policies, but after the trial they won't want to risk things which is why the OP may need to source for under £1000 automatic herself, if she's to keep her job.

Cos u reason am, gear 1 na im d op no even fit push enta..

I'm just wondering why the agent would even consider allowing someone who is new in the UK with no licence for manual car to drive one?


Na strategic!
BTW.. taking a horse to the river don't mean it would drink from the river..

The op would have just been honest like she's done here to the agent and buy sometime to watch YouTube and learn.

A lot of care companies are doing this for Dom care ....its frightening, new people are just entering road even one week after they came all in the name of pressure and fear of COS withdrawal , using their foreign driving licence

Even if you are a very experienced driver, its not easy to just enter road like that , but so many dom care jobs are ignoring safety and requiring it

In my cousin work place , some Zimbabwe came and in 3 weeks she had a major car accident .this was 2 months ago, she hasn't healed and not back to work. It could have been fatal for her and she could have added join an innocent person to die

I been saying this thing , why are dom care requesting new people to drive up and down. Driving is not easy, then the pressure of even finding the house and going up and down so soon after arrival

Hi,
I know this is not what you would like to hear but this might save you from heartbreak. Your friend is selling you premium BS. What is the #2,000,000 Naira for ? Is it for Your visa application/ processing or your flight or you accommodation? Would it also cover your spouses visa applications? Flights, accommodation?…
Now let’s talk about tuition fees for MSc, have you looked at the current average fees for MSc in the uk? It’s roughly around the £6.5k-£8k range or more Now convert this to the current exchange rate…. I think someone’s trying to con you out of your hard earned money but I might be wrong. Please when next you hear from him, try to get details on this said student loan.

Where can I see those of £8k range. Hehe all I see now are from £14k upwards. How come?

Sure Start Maternity Grant

for a student having a child in the uk. Is this qualified as public fund ? Her Midwife is pushing to apply for this grant for her. Trying to discourage her not to take it, but she won't listen.

Even British people need to be claiming a benefit in order to get this, not all can claim this pointing to the fact that this is proper public funds

Hello guys. I have a serious issue. I arrived the UK few weeks ago. My employer wanted to give me the company car today for visiting clients and told a south African guy to accompany me to test my driving. It was quite different from the manual car i drove in naija and I had issues putting it in gear one. The guy just looked at me for close to ten minutes as I tried to put it in gear one in the roads in and afterwards he shouted on me to come down tgat that he is going to report me to the office that I can't drive. He drove to the office and worked in to discuss with the boss. My boss didn't wait to hear from me and said I have to go back to my country since I can't drive. I insisted I can drive. She said she can't enter the car to test my driving but my manager convinced her to and joined at the back. She however explained how to put it in gear one and I drove them for a short distance.

She said I should come and drive her husband round the city tomorrow to prove my driving prowess. She insisted i get a car immediately and said my case will be determined tomorrow.

I heard the SA guy is bringing his sister-in-law to the company. Don't know what to think right now or what to say to them tomorrow. I need advice

Can you not tell her to give you time to get your UK manual car license so you can use that time to go to a driving school? Been a long time I drove manual and I don't think I can still drive one

Driving a manual car, is like knowing how to properly ride a bicycle.......... wink

Oh! Didn't see this before posting.

I've not read the details of her resignation as I only saw it in passing at the café.

But the swift turn on her and her migration stance by Liz Truss is an indication that there is trouble in paradise.

Back to work. Will read and analyze later.

Possibly, but I think It's because the PM is taking the opposite strategy to what she proposed. Just like Kwarteng had to go when his entire plan was dropped.
