Oh, Yeovil

Visited once and I liked the general scenery.

What's your experience living there?

hyzich:
Hi

Just seeing this, ask anyone youve met to be added into the group called Nigerians in yeovil, you would see someone who would help.. I live in Yeovil currently

Elders Good evening.

I’m currently looking for a broadband-only deal, and I’ve noticed that my living room has both Virgin Media and Openreach fibre cables installed. After checking online, it seems that Virgin Media offers the fastest connection in my area.

However, I’m a bit confused by the different speed options and their varying prices. Could you advise me on what I should prioritize when choosing a plan? I’m hoping to find a good balance between speed and affordability, as the prices seem quite high.

At the moment, I’m using an unlimited data plan on my sim from Three, but the network performance is poor, which has made working from home difficult. My contract with Three expires at the end of this month, so I’m considering switching to Virgin Media for broadband.

For context, I don’t watch live TV—I mostly stream YouTube and Netflix, and I usually connect my TV via hotspot.

Any guidance you can offer on selecting the best deal would be greatly appreciated!

You can use the instant payment option. It's only available for £100+ payments though.

Good morning once again my elders.

Please, how do one pay into moneybox without doing direct direct.

All suggestions are welcome.

Thanks.

Interesting angle.

Fairly so, the weather across the UK is somewhat akin, however, reports from friends and families outside of SE/SW England makes me feel they have more rain and heavier wind/storm than the South. This is further confirmed by weather forecast.

Outside of summer, the UK weather is gloomy and I'm yet to get into the dual, two years in. I dread it might be worse up north. Perhaps, my fears are unfounded.

Any thought on the accents up north? Any city with slightly refined accent closer to what you get in the South? 😂

Ticha:
Extreme weather? Are you looking to relocate to the Outer Hebrides?

The weather across the UK is much of a muchness. Marginally colder up north yes but it's all rain, rain and then some more rain across the whole of the UK and Ireland.

I work up nor' and live in the Midlands. Sometimes it's warmer and sunnier in the Lake District than the Midlands!

Really? Isn't the minimum wage applicable to the North.

Agreed, there are limited opportunities compared to the South but I'd imagine majority of workers earn the national minimum pay whilst others earn marginally higher rates, as with other regions.

My biggest concerns about the North is the extreme weather conditions and accent. Barring these, I'd gladly move over to enjoy the low rent and mortgage pecks.

teeebest:
Yes o. We earn less though. 😀

Awesome! Thanks for sharing.

babythug:
It is truly not for the faint hearted and only God know if it’ll get easier when the kids get older!

Try and use routines , lists and give the kids age appropriate chores! Bulk cook when you can
Exercise or go for walks when you can
Pray

Nice! Thanks for sharing.

You guys in the North are enjoying ooo.

Just another motivation to get a British passport.

From the visa application phase to the long travels, it could be financially, physically and mentally draining.

justwise:
Getting an appointment date is your biggest challenge, you may have to go through relatively unknown Schengen country to get a date. Years ago I have to use Portugal for a family trip to Spain

Exciting times 🎶

See me smiling sheepishly at work

Congrats 🎉 guys

Congratulations 🎉

May the property be peaceful.

If you don't mind me asking, What's the location?

teeebest:
This thread has been of immense help to me. I want to appreciate the contributions of all 'elders' lexus, semmyk, Ticha etc.

We got our keys on Friday 30th August and moved into our house on the 31st. We maxed out our LISA contributions and deposit was 14k.

Biko, for couples with babies and no extra support, how una dey balance childcare, work and life in general?

It's really stressful here mehn!

Happy Weekend, country men and women Hope everyone is safe in the midst of the unrest.

I'll like to ask if it's possible to renew/extend a UK visa on an expired passport.

Please share your experiences. Thanks

Still available.

The pumped generation!

I've been really worried about the consumption rate of energy drinks in this UK.

Seeing loads of youngies under 30, unabatedly taking these drinks make me wonder the values of this society.

Price reduction.

Yes, but not me. A friend

Price and location

Is anyone interested in buying a fully functional Redmi Note 10 Pro?

Let me know!

No, they're not any better.

Same applies to them. Used to be a Samsung user before switching to iPhone and now Redmi.

At the minimal, all phones have the same features with slight differences.

samcolee:
you're right but does Samsung or one plus give better experience even after 2yrs?

This is exactly my conclusion.

I'm on my second abi na third Redmi phone with Note 10 Pro. It's less than 2 years and the performance has dropped.

I'm going for 13 pro+ soon will the hope of dumping it after two years.

TemporaryHansel:
From my experience after using four different phones from different xiaomi brands, xiaomi devices have a short life span. On the good side, they're very customizable ( for people interested in that). After two years just dump the phone or dash it out because it'll frustrate you.

Holla!

Please, has anyone on Health and Care visa with a newborn in the UK had to apply for a dependent visa for the baby solely for the baby to access NHS after three months of birth?

According to Gov.UK, it's not imperative to apply for a visa for a UK-born baby except when exiting and entering the UK. However, there's an NHS advisory that newborn can only access free care up to three months after which the IHS must be paid.

Ideally, health and care visa holders/dependents don't pay IHS. Hence, I feel it's logical to conclude that the newborn wouldn't have to apply for the sole purpose of accessing NHS as IHS wont be paid still.

However, I'd like to hear from those with experience on H&C visa. Thanks

You can use sugar soap (£5) to clean it off and collect your deposit.

Took us two days to wipe our walls before moving out. Na only £50 landlord chop from the deposit due to flimsy excuse of the oven looking dirty and small damp in the toilet.

Collecting deposit sweet 😂

eniola1010:
Lmao, asin unless u dont stain anything
All my walls are stained with children color
I have long kissed my deposit goodbye

So, if someone gets a non-healthcare job with £38,000+ salary and sponsorship, s/he can bring in his/her dependents, right?

I might be wrong but most non-healthcare immigrants on sponsorship earn more than 38K.

You're simply been emotive without comprehending or engaging heroshark's points.

Migration decisions are largely fact-based and less of emotional sensation.

You may hate Suella and sack her, another person will arise to champion similar ideology. So, tackle the message not the messenger.

No dey carry Nigerian beer-parlour and religious sentiment enter di matter.

florixi:
Just imagine that line from an immigrant! Some of you will be worse than Suella if you manage to get to the decision-making table in the UK or whatever country you migrated to. I have said here before that some people are not just happy to see their fellow Nigerians migrating like them because they want to keep on oppressing those they left at home. but God passed them. Immigration issue na season film: when one series ends, another go start so no cause for alarm.
