Folks

I've been offered a transfer to the UK, paying 54,000 GBP and car allowance (nominally valued at about 4,000 GBP / year).

I'd likely be residing within 20 miles of Reading; and based on the research I've done, it looks like rent plus 'council tax' will run about 1250 GBP.

I am looking to head to the UK on a working holiday and am worried about the cost of not finding a job as soon as I get over there. I noticed that gointernational.ca has a package where they will find you a job placement. Has anyone ever used their services? They claim that it'll be in the hospitality sector which is okay with me because that is where I am right now. I'm mostly ...

Hi All,

I've been in the UK for over 8 years... when I first bought the one-way ticket I never thought I would stay away so long! Although I am fairly well set-up, there is a nagging voice at the back of my head telling me it is 'time to go home'. I'm listening to it and exploring the possiblity. Anyone out there with the same experience?

Hi there! I'm currently a student and looking to do a work abroad program through Aide (http://www.aideabroad.org/work/england.asp) within the next few years. I am wondering if anyone on this forum has done or is doing one of their programs and how was your experience? Did you have a lot of free time? How were your accommodations?
