when in UK...

[Tuomas]

...act like you were... Wait, I'm not there yet

But I have a few question sto people from around. It so happens, that my girlfriend studies English filology and she needs to perform some local action at an English speaking country. An exchange or whatnot. So she was thinging getting a job there for a while before starting. Here's where you come in as my only connections to GB and Ireland:

Now I'm not asking you to get her a job, but you might perhaps be so kind to hint us towards a site(s) one usually uses to find short time jobs there? Or is there a common place for outsiders like her, and more than one/two?

With this, she'd also like to know how the appartment prices are usually, say, for a 1-room appartment near Legoland in Wondsor (this is my idea) And is there a good place to look for them.

Now I know this might be boring, but bear with me. It's not me you're helping, it's my girl. In fact you're helping a pretty girl to get rid of a geek for a while... so it's 2 birds with 1 stone

-thanks, says she

Since I am from around this area, I thought my input could be useful. Now, anywhere around Windsor won't be cheap, even for a 1 room apartment.  I did a quick search using www.rightmove.co.uk and found that prices can range from between £900 - £1500 a month.

Depending on how much you want to live in Windsor, there are a few places around it that are probably more affordable...like Slough, Maidenhead and Staines(a bit further).

As for jobs, there are some general sites like www.Reed.co.uk that might be useful and there might be some local job agencies around that I cannot remember of the top of my head right now.  It would be worth noting that short term jobs (in my experience) are pretty hard to come by, but it all depends on what your girlfriend has in mind.  I'm sure there are plenty of office jobs out there.

If I think of anything more, I will let you know!
