adedapodvirus001:
Hello My people, I have a question about road tax.

I bought the car last month and the road tax has been paid by the previous owner till April next year ( 2023), can I continue using the car with this road tax or I have to pay for another road tax?

Years of experience driving among others are determinants on the amount you pay for your insurance. So use the recommended websites by oga Lexusgs430

Hello gurus in the house,

I need your input on this on. Just received my 1st electricity bill for a flat i moved into on the 15th of March and it was a ricuclous £296 for 11th march to 29th April. Is this normal, or can i contest it. I live with 2 kids who are in school from 8-4pm, so i must say it was moderate use, except for the period i turned d heaters on.

Please advise.

The severity of the ailment that you want to treat with surgery will determine the priority level and how fast they respond to you.

You will need to register with your local GP if you haven’t done so. One of the easiest ways to get same day appointment with GPs would be to start calling at 08:00am until they pick and use the phrase “emergency appointment” when you ask for an appointment.

Also, you can go to a walk-in centre which will usually be at the closest NHS hospital to urs but be prepared to wait between 3-6hours generally. So I’d go with power bank, headphones and some munches.

They will assess your situation and if it’s urgent they will take you straight to theatre at the earliest available slot after completing all papers works obviously but if they see that it’s something that can be managed then you will have to wait on the queue unfortunately.

Goodluck and may God give you the strength to cope with all of these.

Osoderi:
Good day house pls i need advice, i am in uk on a spouse visa, i have been having challengies on surgery taking time for some medical appointments, e.g for one to get appointment it takes time and even for having medical test it still takes time for test results to come out.is this how the system works?? Not happy here.

secondly, i want to undergo a major surgery here, i want to ask if it is possible for me to have a surgery without paying since i have paid for ihs during my visa application. I want to confirm

[s]Why do you want to verify their claim, instead of you to jump on it and do all the hours, u wey just come, u no get bills to pay?[/s] LOL don’t mind me

There’s a misconception going round especially during covid that if you work with the nhs as a care giver you are allowed to work more than 20hrs a week (I used to believe it too) until someone shared with me an email from UKVI where they have contacted them to confirm.

Find attached excerpt from the email.

Yes they can confirm any information you supply to them so you have to be smart and truthful if you don’t want to invalidate your premium.

To be smart, you can make small (legal) tweak to your job title which will cut your car insurance costs. For example, a self employed plumber can claim to be a company owner, a journalist can claim to be a writer, a PhD student can claim to be a research scientist or a chef can claim to be a caterer. The bottom line is provided the job is exactly what you do, this is allowed and can make significant difference in the policy.

Adding additional experienced driver to your policy can give you good quotes

Try 3rd party, fire and theft rather than comprehensive policy

Adding years of no claim bonus (if you have any) to get the NCB discount

Years you have held the license will give insurance companies idea about your driving experience

Lastly, start making preparations on getting your FULL uk license before u get carried away

Alexia20:
Elders in the house ,I just got a small car ( 1.6 Citroën 2007 diesel auto drive ) for my dom care job with chikini money but on performing a rough estimate of the insurance online I was amazed to see the cost going over the roof ( 3,000£ ) which i feel can be due not using a uk license, pls I need guidance from some of my people that are more experience, what are those parameters that I can change while filling the detail online on those insurance portal that can make the price to come down and for some of those parameter ,can the insurance actually confirm those information that you supplied if it true eg supposed daily mileage that you are going to cover annually ,duration of your using your international driving llicense etc

The certificate is still valid, just the organisation that changed name due to Brexit I heard

For those of us that used UK Naric statements, do we have to re-order again ? maybe for spousal visa extension?

My understanding is we can use same UK Naric statements we used when we came in on initial spousal visa for example

I love this feedback and the honesty so that when you post your pass testimony people will understand that it doesn’t come on a platter.

The trick for hazard perception is not to click too much and clicking too late might give u low score. When you spot ANYTHING can can make you slow or change direction of driving or ANY potential hazard, click it immediately and you are guaranteed the maximum 5 points, the later you spot/click the hazard, the lower the point you get for it.

Goodluck
MadeMen4Life:
Well, I failed my driving theory test yesterday…

I failed on the Hazard Perception test… Clicked the hazard question 5-6 times, then the screen sent me one silly message that I wouldn’t be grade for that due to clicking many times… Mehn, that really dull my moral. Was just upset throughout the remaining questions, at the end of the nonsense, I scored 43 out of 75 and the pass mark for Hazard is 44…. I just dey laugh… I’m going back on Tuesday for another test, I will keep Una updated…

Statement of comparability by UK ECCTIS (formerly known as NARIC) will check ur degree and give you the UK equivalent. It can also be used as proof of English language since a uk degree equivalence will be issued.

Check cv library for templates

You need to spend money to make money

Statement of Comparability

Besides, i don't mind anyone sending me templates of CVs that can fit in for me to work anywhere. Cos it seems all these my ICT experience i pack full my cv dey disqualify me from some Non-ICT jobs. And its not care.
