Strom Cuzewon posted:You can get a 25 and under rail card and link that to your Oyster. It'll shave about 30% off. I was going to say that 450 is very cheap for Edinburgh as well, but I guess that that demonstrates the biggest downside to London - while the good/popular bits of Edi are very expensive as well (especially compared to the rest of Scotland) there are at least always a few cheaper options within easy public transport reach. In London, everything seems to be expensive. While I liked London fine when working there for a few months, I'm still very happy that I said yes to a job in Edinburgh all those years ago. Still very international/metropolitan but a lot smaller in scale, and the scots are a much nicer people than the English. Come to Edi instead!

I live in Australia and my girlfriend is a professional scuba diver. But hey, punch down another warm cider and hit up those hardbodies! Congrats on going on a long holiday I guess?

opus111 posted:council-run gyms are the ticket. In Edinburgh at least they tend to be a bit more expensive without really offering anything extra - 35/month versus 18 or so for the Pure Gym style ones. Don't know if London council gyms are cheaper?

kecske posted:The time it takes to get your NI varies a lot but anecdotally the system seems to prioritise numbers for people who are employed over those who are receiving some kind of unemployment benefit. I'd guess 1-2 weeks but you always hear of fringe cases of several months, although since you're on somebody's payroll I imagine you'd fall into the former group and get it fairly soon. Sometimes you might be called in for an interview about your working circumstances and in that case they'd be able to give you a more solid wait time. Yeah that sounds about right - anecdotally, I got mine a week or two after moving here/starting my job. Everything was arranged via the various forms my employer had to fill in anyway, no extra input from me needed.

It's maybe because I'm in Scotland (or moved here from the Netherlands)? My wife moved with me at the same time and she didn't have to interview either.
