Enjoying a nice Co-op meal deal for lunch, prawn sandwiches and mini pork pies.

not quite sure why British people use the fact that they "eat only to keep going" as a badge of honour that implies 'they work hard'.

to me it sounds as if they do not respect themselves enough. what is the point of making a good living if you compromise on the most important part.

That pork pie is most certainly not what your ancestors were eating. The gooey substance in the pie only has a small percentage of meat. Additives for taste and preservatives that will do you no good. No vitamins, only caloric value.
That is how you get vitamin deficiencies, mood swings and predisposition to a wide range of conditions. We are what we eat.

it is only for the previous 20-25 years that we've had ultra-processed foods brought in to our diets so in terms of effects I am not quite sure they are fully understood yet.
and if anyone dares to put any studies out I think will get litigated to the ground although it is probably common knowledge in other cultures that food - as in good quality food - is essential...

why are you still here?

why are you still here?

Because I don't speak French(only a basic), German, Spanish or Italian. And the economies of those countries are not as developed.
I am not interested in going to US on H1B visa either.

Food has been always a bit difficult but London is a lot better than other parts of the country.
People tend to be a bit more open minded, mostly immigrants so... yeah, London is not England in my opinion.
Think I would rather leave the country as well if I would be forced by circumstances to move outside London.

My opinion might not mean much for you but please do ask with other people. £100k is a decent salary but not viable long term option if you want to settle here. You will have to live a very frugal life (not in line with the work expectations an the lifestyle a 100k role implies) but still won't be able to save a deposit for 1bed in capital or even decent place outside.

GOT is not much around these days, I am sure he would agree with me on this one.

I totally agree with you. 100K is a year these days is trash for places like London.

Im not as down because i have nearly paid my mortgage off. So my housing expenses wont be so bad soon.

However some one younger on 100K a year, that wont get them very far unless they have been living in their childhood bedroom until they were 35 and weren't pissing previous years earnings away. Were saving and investing at least half of it instead of paying that half to a landlord and having no savings.

So don't go to London. Surely this is just market forces at work, either rates pick up or prices come down, or the jobs move out of London.

That said, rental rates in London have been falling thanks to Covid - possibly sale prices too though I haven't checked.
