Hey guys i live in spain, 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?
>>
>>674230692
pretty much yeah
>>
>>674230692
Expensive, not really.
>>
>>674230692
People are priced out of nightclubs now.
>>
>>674230692
Which city?

If you're working in a hotel you're going to be paid shit.
Everything is expensive here. Beer measure: £4 for a pint in a city is normal.
>>
>>674230692
british nightlife is slowly dying, more than half of the clubs in the country have closed over the last 5 years, those that remain are largely chain clubs with no personality and no interesting music, or "alternative" where they play 00s indie music for some reason.

having said that our pubs are fucking great, but yeah everything closes pretty early, most clubs are open until 4, pubs until 1

london is the most expensive place to live in the world but if you stay out of it you should be relatively fine
>>
>>674230692
Housing is also really expensive. You could end up paying 50%~ of your wages on rent.
>>
>>674232110
oh yeah i forget other countries actually have reasonable rent, i'm paying £470 a month for a room in a shared house, not including bills, in london that'd be considered cheap
>>
>>674230692

Get a native English speaker to check over your contract with the work agency. I've done work through agencies before and none of them guaranteed work and I could go weeks without having a single day and wouldn't earn anything.

I don't go out anymore but I'm 31 now so it might just be my age.

Cost of living is high as well. You'll have rent, electricity, gas, council tax, water bills and phone/internet if you choose to have them. Then you'll need to budget for food, clothing and general day-to-day expenses. I suggest moving into a bedsit until your finances are more secure since most of them have all-inclusive rent (meaning it covers utilities and council tax).

Expect your co-workers to mock the fact you're Spanish but take it in good humour and mock the fact they're British and you should be accepted pretty quickly. Lots of British humour is based on making fun of ourselves and others.

Don't do this to women though because we're a bit SJW these days and they'll probably complain and get you fired.

I wish you the very best of luck should you choose to move here.
>>
>>674230692
seriously consider wales
>>
>>674232652
This OP! Do this!
>>
>>674232369
Damn dude, how big is that room/location? That's stupidly expensive. Assuming it's studio?
>>
>>674233012
single room in a shared house with 3 other people, in brighton, which is why its so pricey, might move to portsmouth when i graduate
>>
>>674233318
Jesus, I only pay 400 with bills included, I'm in the midlands though.
>>
Happy to have you OP. Just remember when we say 'I'm sorry' we could be meaning many different things - like 'excuse me', 'pardon', 'the fuck did you just say / do?!!?', 'fucking move', or sometimes, rarely, 'my apologies'.

Nightlife is dull but you can have a good one every now & then, as another anon said the pubs can be great. Spoons for the win.

Football is big too, tennis and rugby if England stand a chance.

Public transport is really good when it's working but it is expensive as hell.
>>
>>674233580
fiver for dayrider busses, cancer
>>
>>674230692
It sounds like your moving to the south, the south of UK is ALOT more expensive than the north in general
>>
>>674233452
luckily i've got a year abroad in texas in august, i'm staying in a co-op, the rent is £400 a month, and i get free food every day, and a pool, and thats in a city centre, fuck british rent
>>
>>674233733
Ah Dayrider - I remember living in Coventry. Was dirt. Kent now - racist as hell but luckily I'm white so that's nice.
>>
>>674230692

fuck off were full and we don't need anymore waiters
>>
>>674234031
yeah thank god i have a vehicle now, i remember when i could get a return bus for £1 when i was 14 or so
>>
if you see a club called pryzm/cameo/oceana avoid it, this is a chain of clubs across the country, every single one is identical, the music is boring and the people who go there even moreso, its also overpriced as fuck and you might have to wait outside for an hour before you get in depending on what night and what city
>>
>>674234226
£1 for a day bus pass, £4 a week with a child photocard, now all the little ahits get free travel up until 16
>>
>>674233580
By "spoons, are you meaning weatherspoons?

Because from my experience up where I live, they tend to be devoid of atmosphere shit holes, with cheap shit beer.
>>
>>674234534
nah to be fair to spoons, they do their job really well, its never going to be as good as your local, because its a franchise, but they have an impressively good beer selection for impressively low prices, and it kinda makes you feel at home, 'cause every one is the same no matter what city you're in

obviously its never going to be as good as a real pub, but its a nice addition
>>
>>674234534
Yep. You know exactly what you're getting and the food isn't poison. The 'beef' is actually zebu as opposed to cow but - while it is a shithole - you won't be surprised at all by anything. Unless it's half decent but best to go in with low expectations.
>>
>>674234446
Wait, they get it free now?! what the fuck
>>
>Britain

Cocaine, Keebab (the people and the food), piss, cheap lager, fake tan, steroids, jagerbombs, slags, vomit, hangovers, cold commutes on public transport, Tories, empathy, political correctness, terrible accents.
>>
>>674230692
no that the Spanish that go to bed early 12 in the afternoon
>>
>>674235392
can confirm
>>
>>674232110
not up here, housing is as cheap as fish here.
>>
>>674230692
Don't make eye contact
>>
>>674233733
£10.50 mega rider fam, saves a shit ton if you use the bus twice or more a day
>>
>>674235392
Stop it, anon. You're making me feel pride.
>>
>>674234190
just saying that a lot of our skilled workers are spanish, for example a friend's dental practice has 3 or 4 spanish dentists
>>
>>674234446
where the fuck do you live, here in Lincolnshire it's £1 per trip
>>
>>674230692
dont go to london unless you plan on earning lots and lots of money.
its really expensive here and low tier jobs have been eradicated by the EU
If I was moving here for the summer I would try Brighton or Bristol
>>
>>674236404
Some of us don't live in shitholes
>>
>>674234982
now i feel retarded for not realizing weatherspoons was a franchise, i was thinking 3 or 4 of you live within 5 mins of me
>>
>>674236468
i aint gonna argue that

We also don't all fuck off to bed for an afternoon sleep after lunch. Most of us don't even go out for lunch when at work
>>
>>674230692
i hope you look over 21 because young-looking people are persecuted to the point of being treated like niggers in pre-civil rights movement america. you wont be able to do anything 18+(anything fun) without being humiliated. i am 28 now and only just getting to the point where i dont have to go through these ordeals anymore.

also, british people are mostly miserable cunts. everything is expensive, food and accommodation especially. despite what you might have been told, british girls are not easy, but yes most of them are ugly. everything in the big cities is dull and depressing. concrete and metal everywhere, ugly buildings. shit weather, even in summer if it does get hot it just gets humid as fuck so you sweat constantly and can barely breathe. its the most watched country in the world, you literally wont be able to walk anywhere in a public place without being watched by a camera. media and advertising rams multiculturalism down your throat constantly, to the point of brainwashing. i could go on, but yeah its pretty shit here.
>>
>>674236756

That was like 12 years ago, should have said.

>only having one wetherspoons within 5 minuites of you
>>
>>674237343
>young people are persecuted
what you mean getting ID'd? what the fuck are you talking about?
>>
>>674238076
guess what's more depressing, weatherspoons is the only fucking pub here
>>
>>674234446
Not any more, it's changes to a minimum of £1.50 and nearly £4 if you're going from town to town

It can cost nearly £15 to get across the river Humber the thieving bastards
>>
>>674233452
Ayy where abouts?
>>
>>674238190
now he cant hang around outside shops and he's pissed
>>
>>674230692
Yea, plus depending on where you are they hate foreigners at the minute because of counts running up racial tension over EU referendum.

What city you going to?
>>
>>674238357
now thats fucking depressing
>>
>>674238364
wait do you have to pay the toll charge too or something?
>>
>>674237343
I'd agree with half of that. I'm 29 & still get ID'd for cigarettes.

I like the modern architecture, and the juxtaposition between something built in the 1800s next to a new development. Some places it's depressing - leamington is a good example of it going to shit - but it can be interesting some places.

The girls are fine - the easy ones are usually ugly but well up for it: they know their place in society, semen resepticals. They either can't cook for shit or know what they're doing in the kitchen with no middle ground.
>>
>>674238190
it goes beyond getting id'd here. theres a humiliation/bullying culture in the UK that is instilled from an early age, and looking young is one of the few socially acceptable things that you can still mock someone for, so they grab it with both hands. (most) british people are just shit, and i actually look forward to this miserable little island being nuked or bred out of significance like brazil.

inb4 hurr durr ahmed. i am 100% white.
>>
>>674238994
Being short too, if you're a guy.
>>
>>674238557
Not directly, but they put the ticket price up to accommodate the toll charge (£4) I think, but 30 people paying £15 each and they put the prices up about £2 for everyone. Load of shite...
>>
>>674238994
i'm british, 21, have a bit of a baby face and i have no idea what you're fucking talking about

you're probably just a gigantic wetty who can't handle the banter, don't listen to this guy
>>
>>674238484
hes not fucking coming to mine
>>
>>674238994
no shit you're white, you sound like a fucking chav
>>
>>674239210
that happens everywhere
>>
>>674230692
If its anywhere in the southwest then your first impression of everyone is gonna be correct, we're 2D as fuck down this end
>>
>>674238994
I know exactly what you mean being from another part of the UK (northern Ireland) they love mocking me, my accent, where im from, gypsies, snatch quotes etc.

They think it's ok to yell Pikey because I'm white but when I asked would they call one of the lads Paki (basically the same thing) they look at you like you're mad.
>>
>>674239791
>they think its ok to yell pikey because i'm white
no they think its ok to yell pikey because you're a pikey
>>
>>674239791
dont know why but people fucking hate gypsies here up north
>>
>>674230692
Swear to god if you come over here taking jobs and being a tramp I'll Fucking wreck you, Fucking dirty spic
>>
>>674230692

FUCK OFF!
We don't want you here.
>>
>>674240169
you sound like such a nice person, bet people love spending time around you.
>>
>>674239977
Just cause I live in a caravan and like dags, I reckon it's cause you're a bunch of cucks who want to be racist but can't.

Nice dubs by the way.
>>
>>674240142
people hate gypsies everywhere, for good reason, every single gypo i've ever had any interaction with has tried to rob me, stab me, or offered to suck my dick for a fiver
>>
>>674240397
>i live in caravan
and you wonder why they call you a pikey
cheers tho
>>
Start selling weed. The chance of getting nicked is minimal and you get a more than decent profit from it
>>
>>674233318
Ay, Portsmouth fag here, well, just outside but it's bretty good to go to, I'd recommend it.
>>
>>674240400
I thought they hated the queers.

Agree with the other shit though plus the cunts stink.

They aren't even Irish they are like some fucked up inbred hybrid of the worst paddy and brit Chavs.
>>
>>674240400
you have obviously met some bad gypsies, i have only known good gypsies, they tend to be... "unrefined" but overall nice people.
>>
>>674230692
Don't come here, we're full, nothing against you in particular but our own people should be coming first, not foreigners... Unfortunately our government loves gooks and spicks so i'm sure you'll be entitled to god knows how many benefits, especially if you have kids.
>>
just lol at moving to the UK, bunch of inbred looking fags
>2016
>not considering moving to nz

pick one
easy country to move to if you are somewhat qualified, amazing landscape, weather, grills,etc.
Seriously though, your only business in the UK should be to get a master and get the fuck out, since their unis are respected everywhere
>>
>>674240595
who brits or gypsies? as a general rule it is socially unacceptable to be intolerant to gay people but not so much with gypsies
>>
>>674240595
nah female gypo
she was on the curb in a pool of her own piss holding a mostly empty bottle of glens at the time so i politely declined, then the bitch tried to bottle me, fucking gypos

Yea but those Asian women. (The oriental Asian).
>>
This country is full, seriously, not kidding or being horrible, go somewhere else.
>>
>>674240732
theres this one famous gypo in my town called tarron crutcher, he's always wearing the same shellsuit, pushing a different bike, and asks you for 40p whenevere you see him, apparently he murdered a guy with a hatchet but his mum took the fall, their family has 2 council houses, packs like 12 people into 1 and uses the other one to grow weed, they also have a horse and cart.
>>
>>674240888
Gypsies, Tyson Fury who is like king of the gypos got in a bit of bother over his queer hating.

Haha I can clearly visualise this, they are a quirky bunch.

My bad, reading on a train that's not virgin so basically getting seasick.

My point about Kent still stands on it's own

I don't eat meat. I am sure they do a nice cheese one......

I'm looking forward to leaving Britain one day, I don't know where i'll go, its people don't care about its heritage or culture, its stability or well-being, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Come to the UK OP, the idiots will love you and the underprivileged will despise you, you'll get given a house, a job and everything else you could ever want.
UK the land of the inept.
>>
>>674243011
yeah they probably have a vegan one if you're puskov

still fucking great pies i bet

That reminds me - we'll also openly mock any diet you may be in with the slight exception of actually having professionally diagnosed Celiac's, and if you are vegetarian you'll have the same conversation about a million times: how long, why, I couldn't do that, don't you miss x etc. Everybody hates vegans. Especially the vegetarians. Bunch of soy milk drinking cunts.

Nigel Farage is the ducking worst though looks like Tim Curry and the Brunch had a love child, him and Osborne in some sort of hunger games scenario is how parliament should open.... Although with the winner also being shot.
