Living in UK

Post Reply New Topic

I wish I can move to U.K. for alot of reasons if I move, I wouldn't live in the same state with my family. I don't want to deal with them anymore. If I did move, it would be better than wanting to die. It is very hard staying happy, my family thinks seeing them will change my bad mood, I can't handle them. I don't think like they do, I don't love life. It is hard dealing with them, I have nobody here to help me. I don't know how to do stuff on my own.

How would the UK fix this?

I'm a confirmed Anglophile.

I went to a Job Centre Plus center more than once.

I always look at housing costs when I go to the UK.

Gas/Petrol is exhorbitant, though.

People in the U.K. tend to be more polite than Americans.

Ive had nice experiences there.

Because I wanted to live there. I wanted to know about the job market.

They told me no dice unless I married a British person.

LOL.....I hope you don't think I had some nefarious intention

The UK is a pretty grim place to live at the moment, especially if you're poor, sick or disabled. There's not enough housing and not enough jobs to go round, plus a lot of Brexit-related racial tension. Social care and the NHS are crumbling.

The grass isn't really greener.

I can't say it be any easier living in the uk from where your from, everything is being privatised but we do have what is known as Meetup, which is groups for people with hobbies, interests and shared experiences, it's free.
Good luck.

I thought Job Centre Plus was more than just the Dole thing. I thought they were an employment agency, too.

I agree with Hippygoth. Job Centres are not places to go for jobs. The only work you're going to find there is the low skilled work aimed at people that don't even want to be working. For jobs, look online or to recruitment agencies - the classy alternative to the Job Centre, where the real jobs are.

RE: Scotland. It certainly seems to have its plus points, but my personal experience of Scottish people I know is that they tend to think of themselves as superior and can come across as quite arrogant and disdainful - a 'better than everyone else' attitude, and quite aggressive in their attitudes. That's only personal experience, but the point is don't go into Scotland expecting the happy little Troll Village. They're individuals, not a hive.

It's important not to get too focused on a 'theme park' vision of Britain. We have our bad areas, they're just different to America's.

I understand that.

But I've seen the good areas of the UK---and I liked what I saw.

I also love my own country, and my own city.
