    No Name

    To be better prepared, you will need the sort of information that can only be gotten from persons who have actually lived there. First off, will you be renting or buying? If renting, go through an agency, but check their fees. If buying, wait a couple of months to figure out which part of London you will enjoy living in and operating from. When using the tube, stand on the right, move up & down the escalator on the left. Avoid using your Singapore card to touch as an Oyster replacement because the currency change will cost you. Get a UK card for the purpose. When shopping avoid tourist streets and popular stores on weekends unless you can handle the crowds. Many restaurants/bars run happy hours on weekdays Thursday especially and rarely on weekends. Don’t bother with paid attractions, instead go for the free galleries, museums and parks which are equally wonderful.

Paying for a damaged item

It will be the salesman's fault since he was the one that bumped into your brother which resulted to the breaking of glasses. It will be a huge amount of money so it is better to just compromise and pay half the price. It will be too burdensome to pay for it alone and it will be disheartening if the salesman will handle it all. Thinking that all his salary will go paying for the broken glasses.

What is the wildest thing you have ever done with your money?

Well this is not exactly a secret but I think the wildest thing I ever did was when under intoxication ordered a free drink for everyone in the club. I don’t want to say how much it cost me pay off the bill, it still hurts me even today thinking about it.

What would you consider as the most dishonest thing you have ever experienced in your working life?

I own an e-commerce business and pretty much everything can be paid for using bitcoins. I had the need to incorporate an app and had a developer to build one for me. Unknown to me this developer wrote in a code on the back end of the application that would direct a certain amount of purchases done on the app with bitcoin to a wallet he incorporated and not mine.

No refund store but gave a damaged item

Since the store is not giving any refund although it was their fault, you can report it to the local trading standards department because it was part of a statutory right of a customer. You can send them an email and notify the shop about what you are about to do. That way, maybe they will do something about your ordered products.

Missing item

Since it was the store's fault, they have to give back a refund or give the missing items. They violated a law which is being honest to the customer. They did not even inform the customer that the product is not available nor give back the money as a refund. If they still did not reply or accommodate you, you can file a case because of fraudulent.

An ensured travel will be presented to a person with disability given that they are prioritized.
