YOU IN THE UK
Understanding the Brits Thursday, 7th February, 18.30 – 20.30.
Free for members, £25 for non-members Whether you are new to the UK or have been living here for a while, you will have noticed that the British are unique. They have a distinct set of values, communication style and sense of humour. Join us for this informative evening, to learn from Victoria Rennoldson of Perfect Cuppa English why the Brits always speak of the weather, love queuing, why they are obsessed with the word “sorry” and what British humour is really about! This is also a good opportunity to share experiences and meet like- minded expats, while having a glass of wine at the FOCUS office. Drinks and nibbles kindly sponsored by Argentex.
Permanent Residency and the steps to British Citizenship
