SINGAPORE EXPATS FORUM
Singapore Expat Forum and Message Board for Expats in Singapore & Expatriates Relocating to Singapore

In the north of Scotland, where the 'wee free' church is popular...washing clothes and hanging out laundry is frowned upon also!
Whilst on holiday, they had notices to that effect on notice boards in the cottage!

Yes, agree the Uk is in a mess right now with the PC brigade running amok.

Nice part of the country...but would imagine Warwick to be expensive, but Coventry a bit cheaper. Right in the centre of the UK, so probably a good place to be eh? You will be within 1 1/2 London on train, Birmingham within 1/2 hour and Wales easily reachable also. Dont know much about the Universit...

often in Scotland it is stated the Education system is the best in Europe and the world....but in reality it is worse than Singapore and maybe not as good as they believe eh? You only find out how good it is, when you have the chance to try another system and many dont get the chance? Anyway this po...

Depends on where he/she wants to go....I have a house in Scotland and love the place, but have no experience on Scottish universities. 'Even' is just a word....I know some Jocks are touchy though, as I am married to one! :wink: The UK government tell us the Scottish Education system is the best....t...

Practical advice- The UK is far more expensive than Singapore for most things. You could buy a car, but then the insurance, fuel and road tax would add to the expense. You can live in certain areas of the country and it is cheaper....the further north you go, the property gets cheaper...generally. Y...

so there was no advertising in the post then....strange they should delete it eh? I do not for one minute believe it was a software problem. As pointed out there are other messages in other languages...so explanations on a postcard please.... I spoke to one of the Danish guys in the office, he joine...

I have no idea why they wrote in Danish, but i thought it was a nice gesture from one dane to another....I think two lines in danish would hardly violate any rules eh? If a cockney came on here and I wrote some slang as a welcome...would that be removed also?? Some very insecure and controlling peop...

I spoke to one of the guys I know within the company and he wrote a nice welcome message in your native language I think, but it seems to mysteriously have disappeared.strange eh??

I am not Danish but work for a large Danish company and we have many danish people here....so I know they would help you.
I wont advertise the company but they are the biggest danish company...so maybe you know them?

You have to be very careful what you write on here otherwise they edit it and dont say nothing....passing good information to others sometimes is not allowed as it contravenes fair advertising laws.

We live near orchard and not too far from Clarke quay, I wont mention any real estate agents that I used...strict advertising laws apply here :wink: There are many places that would suit you and one in particular springs to mind as we looked at it, but it did not suit us as a family,but would be gre...

No he did not get asked to pay the tax only the fine!! He had no choice!!
I think they are over 10 dollars a packet, but not being a smoker, dont really know.

I know you can not bring in cigarettes here, only 2 packets I think. Someone I know brought back 200 from Batam after being told by the shop keeper it was ok!! He then was stopped at customs in Singapore and was fined on the spot 2400 sing dollars and the carton was cut up in front of him!! Best to ...

Ever tried reading....The Sermon on the Mount by Emmet Fox...had to change that sorry.

600 dollars a week you mean? I think it is a decent wage and can not afford/and dont have the space to employ one full time as I could not let her live in a rabbit hutch of a room either. I am on an expat salary and can afford silly low rates, but can not afford the rate I deem as fair...but morally...
