Hey guys i live in spain, Im 24 Male and speak native US english.
Been trying to find work here for months and shits dry as fuck, so im going to the UK to work in a hotel through a work agency, its supposedly next to a university and a train station so i could move to other areas easily.
How's life in the UK, any tips for someone going there to work for the first time?
People tell me they go to bed really early, everythings fuckin expensive theres no night life etc.
How much of it is true?

Britbong here, whereabouts are you moving?
>They go to bed really early
There's no hard-and-fast rule to this, most people I know are awake into AM hours even with work pending. Depends entirely on the crop of people you'll be with.
>Everything's fucking expensive
This is highly variable depending on location. London and the south are generally much more expensive than Northern cities like Manchester or Liverpool. The UK does have a strong currency which might not be too kind to you coming from Spain though.
>There's no night life
Again, the quality and subcultures of nightlife depends where you are but keep in mind that Britain has a very, very deeply ingrained binge drinking culture and a lot of people have lax attitudes towards drugs and smoking. When you live in a cultural graveyard of stagnant weather and politics, you learn how to drink.

Moving from Spain to the UK will depress the shit out of you. So many Brits are leaving the UK for Spain to escape the dull mediocrity of life in a grey, highly taxed shithole.
I left to move to Cyprus myself, and every time I go back to visit I just want to leave again after I see my family and friends.
But that's just me, everybody is different. Cypriots here are flocking to London when they leave high school because it's cool.

I hate that most banks need a utility bill. How can I get a job to get money to rent an apartment which I will pay utilities for without a bank account. It's a load of shit.
Fuck off, we're full.
