Please, anyone in Leeds? I've been searching for accommodation for a couple of weeks now but to no avail. Perhaps because I'm not in the UK yet, I've not been lucky with agents and landlords on Zoopla, Rightmove, Gumtree, OpenRent, Onthemarket, Rentola et al.

Hi. Pls when did you pay for the passport? I am trying to pay for renewal but prompt I got was to first upload my credit card , bank statement and ID first. Did you experience similar issue?

Tawak:
Thank you domin8. I do not have NIN, can I do both same day or two consecutive days as I am outside london?

giselle237:
no insider needed
Find the link to pay. Pay online, if you dnt have NIN, find nin centre and go and sort out NIN if you dnt have. It is 40 pounds. Before, during or after NIN book a passport biometrics date … ideally 2 to 3 weeks after ur nin capture. After payment for passport you need to book an appointment. Check the thread for the passport appointment booking link as well
Also need to buy postal order addressed to NHC for 20 pounds and if u wont b returning to pick passport up, buy a self addressed enevelope

It was exactly November 2nd, 2021, I was cruising around Nairaland and I saw THIS COMMENT by a female Nairalander.

jadepinkett:
Congratulations!!!... Test dates are a headache right now. Were you driving in Nigeria? How many hours of practice did you do here (if you don't mind answering)

Lexusgs430:
You don pass that hurdle.........


The trick to passing, is using the same instructor's vehicle for practice and test .........

My driving instructor, told me I was not ready to pass my test, after 4 lessons !!!!!(I shocked him) .........

Lexusgs430:
Why you no use automatic only .....


Don't tell us you committed this mistake, using an automatic........


Congratulations........

Try BT, they're everywhere like MTN. 27 quid a month or so.
Virgin would be the best option, but they're not everywhere.

^{Hearing Vodacom, I almost got booking a flight to South Africa and taking a trip to Midrand. Then, I remembered Vodacom has about 60% majority stake in Vodafone.}
You indicated cancelling your 'new' (now recently old) Fibre Internet contract out of frustration. It appears you did not communicate in writing (email at least) what the frustration was to Vodacom before following up with that of cancellation: Essentially, write to them beforehand.
The challenge here is you might not be able to claim #incovenience on the defacto basis of law of contract.
More especially as you alluded to Vodafone performing their obligatory duty of installing your Fibre connection (albeit unsuccessfully).
Nothing suggest you complained about the botched installation or conduct of installation, nor did you reached out to Vodafone for 'performance of duty'. In which case, they might be 'compelled' to offer you relief pending resolution (perhaps a temporary 5G).
To compound, you seemly did not outlined/articulate (obviously not artikulate) your inconvenience hardship loss for which compensation would be fit and proper (causing Vodafone to be obidient)
Kindly note that you are not out of options to seek redress. All I've done is to outline (part of) those things you'll need to factor and/or address; from law101 basis. In essence, you need to factually concretise you #frustration (and loss thereof)

CowbellY:
Vodacom could simply state you cancelled the order and hence they are not beholden to a compensation but best to seek proper legal advice though.

Preshyi:
VPN? no I am not.

See the error message I keep getting even on my husband's browser. Did you click on the start now button to see if it works?

Preshyi:
Please how were you able to even access the website to book a date or check other locations? It's been showing error message for over a week now. or is there a special way to get into the driving test website?

Please, do you know if people on student visas also qualify for this?

I don't intend to use the credit. Just want to build my score, so I don't want to risk a hard check on my score for nothing.

Osoderi:

How do I navigate from where the bus will stop me to my hotel, seeing that I may not have gotten a UK SIM by then?
If I decide I want to use uber, how do I hail a uber without internet on my phone(Seeing that
I will have no SIM with data) then..?

Which merchants accept Amex?
There are now more than 35,000 U.K. retailers that accept payment by an American Express card. Here are some of the key places. Note that these are the places where you are most are likely spend the majority of your money:

All major supermarkets (including Lidl, Aldi, Morrisons, Ocado and Iceland);
Most restaurant chains including Nando’s and Domino’s, all but the smallest independents, though the higher the menu is priced, the more likely they will accept American Express;
Uber, Uber Eats, Just Eat and Deliveroo;
All Bar One, Greene King and Wetherspoons pubs;
Petrol stations;
Train travel (London Underground, National Rail, Eurostar);
Most major airlines, even low-cost carriers like EasyJet and Ryanair;
The Post Office;
Major high street retailers;
Amazon;
Argos;
B&Q;
Lego;
Boots;
Some utility providers including Bulb and Octopus Energy;
eBay;
Poundland;
Subscriptions (like Netflix, Amazon Prime and Spotify); and
Almost everywhere else online (most places online accept Amex, and often when they don’t, use an Amex linked to a Paypal account where possible).
In fact, only the smallest corner shop-type retailers hold out against American Express. But these days, it’s rare that even these guys won’t take your card.

I was surprised on a visit to Leeds that even the Mr Whippy van in Roundhay Park accepted Amex.

Bottom line
American Express is not difficult to use, so let your fears melt away. Just be prepared for some of those corner shop purchases, which may not take it. If this is the case you may wish to have a non-American Express card in your wallet as a backup.

But there’s no need for acceptance to stand between you and earning points.
