Well that's weird, if anything you are opening the doors to more people like him. He's not from the EU. All you have stopped by voting out is EU free movement and actually not even that as we aren't out yet. Won't be for some time ... Read More

Absolutely nothing wrong looking for love. But this ISN'T a dating site and the original poster said friends. The guy giving his height and weight doesn't seem as though that is what he is looking for. Go to the proper sites for that if ... Read More

Visiting London in Sept by owoade
Will be visiting london for 2 weeks next month. Will appreciate tips and advice. Especially where to get good bargains,where to hang out and how to enjoy this town in two weeks. Appreciate your response
I would never recommend a wetherspoons pub! They are often dirty pubs, shoes stick to the floor and the clientele can be questionable. Eating out can be expensive but I don't think you need to find a chain to avoid that. I find avoiding chains ... Read More

Can you live far from your better half? by Julien
Well that's a personal question, but have you ever lived far from your better half? I spent almost two years far from my girlfriend when I first came to London, then we moved together to Madrid (for one year), and now I am back to London for a ...
