Filipinos, what is it like living in the UK? Any tips or practical advice?

To be fair to myself I of course do sometimes rinse off excess bubbles in cold water before placing in drainer!

yeah right lol

My wife is the same when it comes to rinsing the dishes, no matter how much I rinse them after washing, it's not enough for her!

Every time she sends me shopping I get the same lecture about sell by dates too.

my water charges are now more than the gas !. i use gas for central heating..hot water...cooking.

Just realised that my rice intake is increasing whilst my potato consumption falls!

And another observation - Kris can spot another Filipino at a 100 metres. And she can even identify a Filipina - from the rear - by the way she walked!

It's like some sort of pinay radar!

So true! It's also easy for me to spot Filipinos even in SEA countries. Indonesians are the only ones who look very much like us and they tend to dress a bit differently.
