    Have a friend in england and thinking of moving over to him, Im 26 and a fully qualified electrician but working in a big supermarket where i only get 20 hours a week, 180 euro, cant claim dole because they have our hours over 4 or 5 days. So basically i dont have a life here bla bla!
    I just need to know from some one who has experience, is it easy to get a job there? Ill be in the london area, (Harlow) I also have a car that im still paying off and would like to bring it with me, Is there anything i need to do about this?? Basically iv no clue about that side of things, Ill take it ill need to set up a bank account over there too. Would like some feedback and other things i might be missing?? All new to me. Thanks! :)

    Depending on the bank there might be branches in the area you're moving to. I definitely recall BoI being everywhere while in Madchester.

    Also if you mate is in construction ask him about what paperwork you need to start on the sites , I believe you can't roll up with some safety boots and donkey jacket anymore
