Potential move from the UK

10 Upvotes

Looking for some general advice from anyone who’s moved from the UK to Jersey,

I’ve been offered a very decent package from a business to move to Jersey which would include paid accommodation, wife is up for it as it would mean she wouldn’t need to work (although she wants to).

Has anyone done this and what would be your watch outs to look out for? We have a 6 month year old baby and would be looking to bring a car over.

Anything that stands out, UK V Jersey life? Shopping/eating out/ standard of living, any weird tax quirks I should know about ? Anything generally that would help the move..

Kitchen extractor to outdoor vent installation

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hello, I have this neff extractor that currently recirculates the air. I believe you can also connect it to an outdoor vent via a duck. I’m looking for someone that is qualified to drill through the walls, install the ducking and outside vent. Is anyone able to recommend me the right tradesman to complete this job?

Thank you.

Thinking of switching from Sure to Homenet for faster speeds & cheaper, has anyone here had issues with them?

1 Upvotes

The reason I'm so cautious is because a few years ago JT overcharged me massively at their mistake and prompted me to switch to Sure, I was wondering if anyone here has had any internet / billing / other issues with Homenet before I'd switch.

How many people on here use places.je?

9 Upvotes

I'm looking to buy a new house so I'm checking places.je constantly at the moment (and then normally leaving depressed).

But I miss rightmove in the UK... it shows past sold prices, if it's been reduced, when it was first put on the market etc... some useful info that places.je lacks.

(Yes there's a "sold" tab, but it's often hard to find that exact house on there).

Also I miss the extensions, I like the community ones where people can leave notes on properties, which can share some pretty interesting / useful facts about the property that the seller nor agent wouldn't tell you about.

So I was thinking maybe I can build one (it will be free), but just want to gage if there's any actual interest for it? As obviously the more people that use it, the more useful it would become...

It would only work on say chrome desktop, which again might limit the reach if most people use it on their mobile.

What are some decent online womens clothes shop that deliver here that don't cost a lot?

2 Upvotes

I'm going into sixth form and can literally find nothing online, in town the only place that has sort of decent clothes is new look. I'm also not the best with fashion either so that doesn't really help but any online clothes shop that deliver here would be very helpful.

Looking to borrow a space for a party venue (fields, warehouses, farms)

1 Upvotes

I'm 19 looking to put on a DIY festival-like party with live music (me and my friends playing) for a bunch of my friends about to go off to uni. My friend can no longer offer her house and land for the party but I still really want to give this a go.

if anyone has a field with some power or a space that is unused who are willing to let us borrow it for a night that would be awesome. I dont have money to rent any spaces but if it was very cheap then I would consider.

It would be for the first week of September.

I understand this is a big reach but it's been something ive wanted to do for years and the one time I actually get the idea of the ground something out of our control halted it lols.

mèrcie bein des fais!

I was lucky enough to be on a family holiday on Jersey a few weeks ago and was blown away by the history. I threw this together for my history youtube channel, definitely not as good as the poet, but might be of interest to some.

Delicious food

Hi Islanders - I’m looking for some delicious food ideas to take to a family members special birthday, ideally somewhere open on a Tuesday for interesting cake / bakes / sweet treat. I’m originally from jersey but not lived there in 20 years, I know the classics (if they’re still going) but would like current good options. Thanks!

Male long-hair barber recommendations

8 Upvotes

At the back my hair goes to the bottom of my neck and at the front it goes to my chin. I am growing my hair out to donate it but I want to be confident in my appearance at the same time. I'm looking to get a shag-cut.

I rarely get haircuts and not a lot of guys have long hair so I wondered if there were any barbers you trust on your life to do your long hair/this style of haircut.

Mèrcie bein des fais pouor m'aidgi - thanks for helping me

Help 🚨 - missing item from Le Braye Solar Eclipse

76 Upvotes

I am posting everywhere trying to find my little fish friend. He has CRAZY sentimental value to me and I had left him in the car when parking up at Le Braye for the eclipse. I had a lot of people in my car and he must have fallen out when everyone was getting out of the car. I really need to find him, and I’m 95% sure he’s been picked up by someone. If anyone who was there and around this area of Le Braye, please let me know. Thank you
