Good day everyone,

Please can anyone recommend a travel insurance company for a visiting parent from Nigeria?

I have checked Axa Mansard, they offer a maximum of 92 days only irrespective of the travel duration

The essence of the introduction letter, state your case + immigration status, and you not requiring sponsorship etc etc ....

Be truthful and also include time lapses.......

Great insight..., Gracias... YouTube link to those driving materials will be great, let me get to work grin

There likely might be YouTube channel for s driving school near you. They would show test routes etc.

For general feel on how a test goes and common mistakes DGN driving school on YouTube.

For manover roundabout etc Ashely Neal on YouTube ( Google Ashley Neil double roundabout, the named of test takers on Liverpool)

And just search YouTube generally.

What is it called ?

I heard car sellers are required to provide the repair kit if the car doesn't come with a spare....
Can anyone confirm this?

I don't understand why cars won't come with a spare or even a space saver...

Did you buy the car from a tradesperson/dealership??

Or from Facebook/eBay etc??


Just safe stress and get the spare online, or even the kit. Or if it's a dealership they might do good will and get you one.

For your questions I don't know the answer

Madam Ticha,
Quick question regarding your brokers - I don finally sell some of my property in Naija (exchange rate na die, APC e no go better for una) and I'd like to see if I can get a property purchase ongoing. The gentlemen whose contact details you shared here - would they be open to receiving cold calls from Nigerians with heavy Igbo accents - i.e. could you give or have you previously given them a heads-up that you've recommended them elsewhere?

Thanks.

Business is business o! He lived and works in London after all. The melting pot of all accents!

Email him first if you're more comfortable with that. I've referred quite a few people to him so ues he does know.
