Isn't the oldest Library in England in Whitby?
I have heard you lot up north do it better, so I'll definitely give it a taste when I eventually get up there :).
It ain't over yet mate.
But the cards are certainly looking a bit stacked.
Now you're talking my language!
We used to take our fresh caught fish up the local shop and they'd batter it for you. If you swung them a fish or three they'd throw in chips and some pineapple fritters as well.
Hang on there, this upcoming elections going to be interesting for us all. Hopefully common sense prevails.
So no kinder surprise eggs and no spicy sheets huh?
Well don't you worry the free worlds got you covered so come on over.
It can't be worse than the soggy garbage served in England.
I like Wales bloody lovey looking country, tho most of the time I've spent there has been in Holyhead catching the ferry to and from Ireland, but travelling through it reminds me of home in NZ.
I want to believe you but of the 3 dozen or so fish n chips places I've tried across southern and middle England not a single one has been good, and that includes a number that were touted as best in the country.
I'm afraid I simply do not believe England even knows what good fish n chips are.
You lot make lots of fantastic foods but not fish n chips.
Definitely as a topping, goes nicely with a creme french sauce and several varieties of cheese. But you may sauce it as you wish. Bonus fun if you have the carnisaurs chasing the plant eaters around the pizza.
Oo that looks positively delicious.
I just want to roll it in flaky pastry and bake the ever loving shit out of it.
God I want that, I'm positively salivating at the thought of it.
As a kiwi I cannot express how utterly disappointed I've been with fish n chips in my adventures around England (haven't ventured into Wales,Scotland or NI to try them yet).
Sad soggy bland and clearly cooked in oil that haven't been changed since Churchill was in power.
I hope the other countries have better quality because England's stuff isn't fit for pigs.
As a kiwi growing up we ate what our parents ate or we went to bed hungry. There were some exceptions allowed like if you didn't like beetroot or mushrooms they would be skipped from your plate. Dad didn't like tomatoes so us kids took his, we didn't like beetroot so he had ours. But in general you ate what your parents ate.
Nuggets on pizza, you'll thank me later once you've tried it.
Then do your regular food shop and splurge on treats with the balance.
They do have a very fine cheese selection.
I think as a teacher your annual leave is tied a bit to school holidays, but I'm sure some teachers can clarify that one. I have a mate who's a secondary school teacher, he still takes leave outside the school holidays tho, but I'm not entirely sure of the ins and outs of it fully.
But employment law is 4 weeks minimum and 10 sick days. So that's the starting point for all full time employees across the country.
Clever bastard! They didn't have the fancy electric ones when I lived in Taipei.
Does Youbike extend south of the river now? It used to be two or three different companies and they all had their own sections of the city which made it annoying sometimes if you went out of the area.
There are, but it's not too big a deal, our tax system is also super easy and if you're on PAYE you'll basically never have to deal with it.
GST (sales tax) is on everything, it's 15% but the price you see on the shelf is the price you pay at checkout so no faffing about with calculating the sales tax.
We have pretty decent worker protections.
You'll get 4 weeks annual leave and 10 plus sick days, you're expected to use your annual leave, most places will start telling you off if you don't take leave.
Why wash when you can just rummage through the skip bin of clothes for a new outfit!.
I do this as well, also gives you that little food buffer if your struggling to find food to eat.
You can somewhat live comfortably on a combined income of $150,000nzd in the big cities, and obviously living in more rural areas that money will go further.
Food costs are a lot higher here than the US, public transports mediocre, we embraced the car quite like you lot did.
Most Americans I've met down here love the place, but like everywhere it's got it's issues.
Retire from the rat race.
No you dirty degenerate it is not.
Recently learned that British food is so infantile in nature because...
