It cost my wife and I close to £2500 for her to get a visa to come and live here. While we went through the process of applying for this, she was apart from me and our son for 9 months. I had to go into debt to pay for the visa. The fees are loving ridiculous and go up by large margins every single year. Now I get to look forward to paying another couple of grand in a couple more years for her first extension, and then a few more later on down the line for her indefinite leave to remain. By the time all's said and done, it'll be like 7 or 8 grand, so we can live together as a family.

Quote if you remember all the Tory leadership candidates talking about their various drug taking. Quote even harder if you remember the Labour MP who the press harassed until she resigned because her son had taken drugs which was unacceptable.

Thanks for the replies. Ratjaculation posted:They are changing the property you signed a tenancy on, and thus the conditions of their contract to you. If you want to leave you can tell them this and that you wish to end the contract as a result, they can't fine you. This is reassuring but I really don't want to have to move unless the noise gets unbearable. Sanitary Naptime posted:See if you can find out (not from them) about planning permission and gently caress them over if they don’t have any and need it. They applied for a "minor variation of premises license" which extends the license to include the rear of the property (where the garden will be). But no mention that they're actually going to build the garden and that it would block my rear access. There was a notice in the window of the pub but I never noticed until they mentioned it on the email. I managed to get a picture of it yesterday morning just before they took it down. The deadline for public responses (in writing) was 16th August. Maybe I'm being paranoid but it doesn't seem like a coincidence that they informed me at 11pm on the 15th... If I can find out when they made the application I can see if it was before I signed the contract (in which case they knew the property was going to change but didn't inform me...). NotJustANumber99 posted:Does your contract mention anything explicitly about use of the rear entrance? Has the landlord said that post the works you will no longer have access rights through the back? They absolutely should have told you before. Nothing in the contract about the rear access unfortunately, it's just a very general tenancy agreement. Yeah they've said the back door will be sealed off completely. I'll have to take my rubbish out of the front door and walk all the way around the outside of the building (it's a really busy street) to reach the bins. Sounds like I would have a good case for voiding my contract if it comes to it, but I don't want to move unless I have to. I am wondering if I might be able to push for a bit of a rent reduction, since my flat will be objectively worse off compared to when I agreed the contract. That would probably be the ideal outcome.

I doubt you'll get the rent reduction because landlord, best you can hope for is voiding the contract and moving elsewhere like ratty suggested.

This is all a bit legalistic and contentious, and honestly it's not a very strong case, so you might be better off just trying to negotiate it informally first, but hmu if you want a hand translating anything into scary-sounding-legalese. Also, always be aware of the danger that beefing with your landlord will often just result in them turfing you out at the first opportunity (so, again, consider just trying to resolve it amicably). Disclaimer: I don't particularly know anything about the law of landlord and tenant, there might be some specific rules governing this - this is just my opinion in dry contractual terms.

If they do food get to know the serving staff so you can call down your special breakfast and arrive down all bed-haired just as it's ready.

It theoretically makes it easier to strip citizenship and deport if they “lied” on their immigration forms. It’s what the Nazi hunting group at the Department of Justice used to deport a few concentration camp guards when that was still possible.

I can remember when I was wee there being tokens on marmalade jars that you collected to get... one of those things. I brought this up last year with someone around the same age as me and I don't think he believed me. I'm sure I can remember it, though. Every bloody Christmas without fail my ma gets a few sherries in her and talks about how she always wanted a darkie doll when she was wee but never got one. This was apparently just a doll with dark skin that was actually sold with that name :/ I once made the mistake of asking why exactly she wanted such a doll and this lead to her telling me she would have loved me to have been a little black boy. Still haven't made sense of that tbh.

yer ma called you too white My aunt had a black doll and a white doll when she was small, but I don't recall them being called anything terrible. I definitely remember the gollywog tokens on marmalade though, you could get racist pins, racist bags, racist stuffed monstrosities, all sorts.

My grandmother once affirmed to me that she had a gollywog when she was a kid and it didn't do her any harm, they weren't racist. My grandmother also did not like indian doctors because "they have dirty hands".

fuf posted:Nothing in the contract about the rear access unfortunately, it's just a very general tenancy agreement. Everything that borrovan says really. Fighting with a landlord probably ultimately only goes one way and you have to be the sort of person that can handle being in like a siege mentality in your own time and space which is real loving difficult to do, especially if youve got partners/roomates or whoever to maintain relationships with too. Its your back door though remember whilst youre renting it so if they are actually planning to block it up and remove it, theres an argument to say its a contravention of the Protection from Eviction Act 1977 since you are being denied use of your back door, which is "the premises or any party thereof". You should be able to see all planning/change of use applications and stuff online, look up your local council and go to view current planning applications. Either use your postcode to find it or a planning reference number of the photo you took of the sign that was up. Although its worth using postcode to see any and all other applications to see if theyve been turned down for other stuff to make sure they arent trying to do something on the sly.

There is a golliwog jack in the box in my mums house that she refuses to get rid of, and no amount of persuasion will get rid of the loving thing. The box does stay closed at least.
