I use my bankcard. Have never owned an oystercard. You need to tap again at the end inorder to open the barrier.
I always wondered who the tapping out announcement was for.
There are still some stations without barriers and some with tap out machines not too visible.

Hi guys,
I will be commuting to work within London starting soon. I will be using buses only.
From my research online, there is no difference between getting a travel card amd using my bank card for the week as the fares are capped on the bank card once it reaches the equivalent cost of a travel card...

Can anyone confirm this or give any advice on how to proceed?
Yes that's correct, bank cards are gradually replacing travelcards/oyster except you're getting student discount

Are you sure you want to use buses only, commuting by bus alone is very frustrating, I find. There are so many road works

so ethnic cleansing is not the right term for this then, people-irrespective of their ethnicity-with enough capital can still live in these areas that have been gentrified

what is happening in Lekki/Epe/Makoko can be term ethnic cleansing sha

Its easier since there are historical relationships and they are financially more buoyant and highly skilled compared immigrants from Eastern Europe and Africa for example also helps the big bad wolves is china

How much will It cost to commute using either
Mode of transportation..... Just a rough estimate..

Are the tfare quoted on this site reliable?

Thanks boss
Depends if your journey will be excluding zone one, you can either buy the weekly pass or monthly if your not going in to work daily use your contactless. The travelcard allows you to use bus,train/tube

Yes the site is reliable, it's the official transport for London site

Lol.
Well, considering that so-called white Brits are less than half of London's population, the gentrification is not solely oyibo-driven.
i.e. ability to pay London's crazy house prices is not race-specific.
True, more social cleansing

If you can afford it...white,black,brown!

Look at all the Hong-Kong citizens buying up all these new builds as they relocate to the UK

Good day and compliments of the season to everyone here.
Wifey, myself and our 1year old daughter will be going to the UK by month end latest by his grace. She'll be schooling in central London and I'm having difficulty in making decisions on where to stay. I heard London is really expensive and it's advisable to commute from nearby towns.

After many considerations and research, Luton fit within my budget for 2bedroom flat, budget is 850£ at max. Now there's so many negative reviews about Luton and I'm not sure I want to go there. Please, I need advise on commuter's town where I can get 2bedrom flat for 850£ and below...thanks.

Meanwhile, we fit manage 1bedroom flat for now and that will also save us some costs.
Central London is massive. If you narrow it down and list the nearest train or tube stations it will help. But you can look towards zone 5 and 6 in London or Dartford in Kent, there are regulat direct trains to London Bridge, Charing Cross, Canon Street and Victoria

Many of these towns listed as worse in the country usually have 'safe' areas or just historically bad reputations. Many people commute to Peterborough to London, it has also undergone massive regeneration

Hi guys,
I have read here about the care sponsorship route but not sure how someone already in the system can get sponsorship via care. I came in last year via student Visa but currently working in a healthcare facility as a support worker. I have already seen online that my Company is on the list of organisations that can offer sponsorship but dont know if I qualify as I cant see specific eligibility requirement. Will appreciate any information on this.
Try as much as possible to get all the training and certification that comes with your role whilst on the job, approach the HR about sponsorship or get in touch with other employers about sponsorship when they put out advert for senior roles

That's if you really want to be in that sector.
Don't forget your school work!

We are not talking about the health and care worker's visa

Has it launched?
I can't seem to find official news that people can now aoplyy
https://www.gov.uk/government/news/biggest-visa-boost-for-social-care-as-health-and-care-visa-scheme-expanded

The temporary measures are expected to come into effect early next year and will be in place for a minimum of 12 months, providing a much-needed staffing boost while the sector deals with the additional pressures of the pandemic, at which point they will be reviewed.

It should be between 30-1hr by rail or a combination of bus and rail. Travelcard zones 3-6.

You can always use tfl journey planner to check commuting times and routes

Please which airline did you use?
Want to be sure I don’t need to do the covid pcr before departure from MMA to Uk with a lay over flight like Qatar airways or Egypt?
I believe a direct flight don’t need to do the covid pcr test before departure
Thank you
If you've been vaccinated you don't need to for direct flights BA and virgin
For others you'll need to check their individual requirements as you'll be 'entering' their country or be in contact with other passengers entering the country

I might not be old enough to put mouth. But please like others have advised, let her work preferably from this winter, she will need to schedule her work around childcare and contribute to the cost.

You applying for the mum is no guarantee she will get the visa. Please encourage the relatives to continue applying and support with documents when you can. She is their primary responsibility

The governor is at fault here. There are rules of engagement.

He should have just call his superior to order him to leave. Unless the governor is doing this to generate public support for state controlled policing.
Exactly! all that Chief Security Officer is just on paper...what do you think Benue Gov n co are going through

The Police officer is under instructions from his superior, Sanwo-Olu should have been speaking with the superior not him. I mean hes even asking the guy to call his oga that he is here.

All the people saying Wike/Fashola would have asked for him to be transferred out of state, so what? His Oga will fix him in Abuja HQ no big deal

Thanks for sharing your experience and workarounds

Another thing is for you guys to try and make friends with people who have young kids so that you can baby sit for each other or at least find out how they deal with their child care needs. £250 per day on childcare for 18k/year job is just too much, doesn’t make any sense if you ask me.
£250 is per week

totally agree with you ^^^

was just discussing this with a friend

Husband- Student - 20hours
Wife - Dependant- Full time allowance but 2 primary school kids, meaning work options will reduce dramatically except perhaps night duty. Hopefully Oga adjust to looking after kids and getting them ready for school in the morning.

It's a big jump that take a lot of patience and planning.

Good afternoon I'm new here, I read about a lady whose husband didn't know he got ban, pls mine I applied in 2015 for Canada tourist visa and I was refused based on family ties and not sure I will return home, I read the mail, it was handled by an agent though,
I intend going to the UK through student route, do I need to be scared?
How do one know he/she is banned?
Apologies- thought you meant your husband too

Not sure of Canada but they've explain reason for refusal, for UK refusal with a ban a certain section will be quoted. Plus if you've not used suspicious document, you have nothing to be scared of- here's assuming you saw what the agent submitted.
