Might not be easy but it greatly depends on your location, where in the UK are you

Happy Christmas to everyone, please am in dire need of a 2/3 bedroom house in a good neighborhood with car parking in Liverpool Speke, Garston, Merseyside to be precise. Could also do Widnes. Getting through agency has been a bit difficult and the few ones that seemed willing all projected 2nd week of January to make their property available. I don't have the luxury of waiting. Kindly assist if you can thanks. Max budget is £600...

You might have to increase your budget.

Is having a drive a deal breaker?

Second January is in less than 2 weeks, the normal process of getting a house from viewing to keys take a month or more sometimes.

Would you consider a flat??

It's more of a culture thing as everyone is supposed to be indoors sharing the day with their families, friends and loved ones. The bus drivers too. The UK is a ghost town on Christmas day.

Talk to your pastor or church member.
If you are catholic, switch to a Pentecostal church( attend part time).
You might find someone that knows someone that can mind your child at a cheap rate

I have spoken about this mythical disparity previously.
A doctor/nurse/dentist/pharmacist/engineer/IT expert etc in London isn't getting paid more than their counterparts in the NE. The London weighting pay gets swallowed by the cost of living in London. If you do some research, you will find that in certain professions, the pay in the ''North'' is more than that in London and the SE. The reasons are many, amongst which are most professionals would prefer to live down south than up North for various reasons. Thereby leading to a shortage in the North of these professionals, thus an escalation in pay rates. It's supply and demand.

True.

I know of some professionals (based on their band) who are paid RRP up north in addition to their salary.
I think some professionals in the north get paid more than their counterparts in the south.

That is not entirely true considering the pay gap between London and outer London workers. Apart from housing, cost of living between London and the rest of the UK cities are relatively the same. My friend that lives in Luton drives to London to buy African food as its cheaper compare to Luton or cities in Bedfordshire.

I tell you, I was at the mall after work yesterday, the shelves were dry, major food all gone.

E be like like say make I give 1 silly guy slap yesterday, I got to the bus stop to discover my bus card had disappeared. So I left my shopping bags at the bus stop to have a quick check at the mall. My mind was telling me abi make I no leave am whether somebody go steal am. Na im I say, nobody go carry am na shebi dem say camera dey everywhere. I ran in and came out to see one guy putting my bags away in his boot. I ran up to ask him what he was doing. He said oh sorry I'm in a phone call with the food bank and I thought someone wanted to give these away.

I was like how do you mean, if I wanted to have a give away I would have given the food bank a ring myself. He said sorry, dashed into his car, made a U-turn and left. If he really wanted to be kind, why would he not gibe me a ride when he discovered that my card had disappeared. Iranu

My mind was just imagining different things, like he probably wasn't calling any food bank. Or imagine if places were switched as in a black man putting a white's stuff in his boot.



Has anyone else experienced this?
