Aussie needs help

[grahamanderson]

Hey guys its been a while. i have been busy working sorry.

I have saved enough money to stop work and train for the marines and also get my candy ass over to the uk. but i have a problem though.
I need somewhere to stay for 2-3 weeks in the uk while i do the interviews and the prmc.
so if there are any kind hearted(sucking up here) brits out there who would like to lend me there lounge to sleep on for a couple weeks for a small price could you let me know. because i need an address in the uk.

thanks guys

Do you need to be anywhere in particular? Or is it more important to have an address, wherever it is?

[grahamanderson]

sorry its been a while. i have no internet at home.

Basically i was told by the overseas recruiting office that i need a residential address in the uk so that where my uk residential address is is where i go to the recruiter etc. basically so they know where i am in the uk.

I need a place anywhere in the uk but it wiuld be prefable that it be near a major town(london etc.).
I only nned to be in engalnd 2-3 weeks and i will pay 300 pounds to stay there for that time so anyone with a couch they could lend me and wants to make 300 pounds let me know. (my interview and prmc is around the 25 of aug)

and it might take a couple days for me to reply so please be patient


thanks
Graham

GA,

Should no-one on the forum answer your plea, have you considered phoning a hostel and asking for a special rate? Possibly a bed and breakfast? YHA in Golder's Green was very reasonably priced, as I recall.

Or, look up the TNT magazine UK website and answer the ads for shared accomodation in London, again, they may be very flexible.

When I arrived in Leeds in 2000, I stayed at a university dorm (single ensuite room) for about 14.00 GBP a night. It was either Leeds Metropolitan University or University of Leeds. The building was close to the Royal Armouries south of the canal-anyone form Leeds who can confirm? Really desperate-phone the Royal Armouries and an employee may be able to tell you the uni or name of the bldg.

Good luck and PM anytime.

Graham,

Ive just spent a year studying at the university of portsmouth and ive got a mate who lived in the student accomodation halls for a year and he reckons they rent the rooms cheap over the summer so you could try giving them a call, ask them for the number for Rees hall. if df2inaus stayed at leeds why not try giving a few universitys a call, theres loads in London and in all the major citys.

http://www.port.ac.uk/departments/stude ... contactus/ contact numbers for the universitys housing department. ask for the number for Rees hall.
