One thing UK higher Ed taught me real quick is that posh Brits can’t control their “talking to the help” voice.

Oh yeah I have a Canuck friend here who did the same thing via his spouse. Much simpler & less expensive process. I’ve spent nearly £9k on visa fees since arriving in 2016, and I’m about to spend nearly that amount for immigration lawyers & UKVI fees

My sympathies, bab. I’m going up for ILR this autumn, thus the Life In the UK test.

Oh sweetie, are you coming to work in the UK? If so, let’s chat. I have opinions & advice

Extremely on-the-nose that the "Life in the UK" study guide devotes 4 lines of text to "Cooking and Food"

I was brought up outside of the Sephardi community for very Garcia-Marquez reasons (involving a dashing gentile ranch hand of mixed ancestry), but Shana Tova nonetheless.

Oh so it’s bad when Iran does it. Interesting.
