How have you managed to keep cool In recent heatwave?

Particularly during the nights & those with less “fancy” setups.

I struggled in a house albeit no air con but I can’t imagine how hard it’d be in a van or car at night.

Vehicle living may be unavoidable in my near future & escaping the heat is a big concern, I’d like to have a plan setup before/if it happens.

During day if not at work I guess you can chill in library or a pub or anywhere with aircon really but night time it seems inescapable.

Thanks

flats owners - which leasehold company are you with?

getting divorced, a house is just unaffordable & a mortgage on a flat is the only way i can get housed.

council housing wait list is 6+ years
even if homeless its 1+ years

probably longer as im lowest priority (single male no kids)

minimum wage literally cant afford rent around here, plus keeping my cats is a very high priority

i know i know - increase income. im working on it

yes im willing to mortgage a flat just to keep the cats

dont want to move area

so - which company is your lease with? whats your experience?

Few questions regarding becoming a prison officer

Im interested in doing this in the future I just have a few concerns that may have already ruled me out of the line of work.

Im currently 37. Shoplifting caution at 15, cannabis possession caution at 21, nothing since.

No debts

My eyesight isn’t great, is the test strict for this? Without my glasses it’s like Im underwater unless things are very close lol.

Anxiety and depression in the past on medical record.

Also how do you go through the recruitment process? I’ve seen some say it can take over a year, but im working at the moment & can’t afford to quit. Do you not start the training etc u till you’re guaranteed a job?

Im sure Im forgetting something

Also what are your experiences with assaults on staff? This is probably my biggest concern

Thanks

Hi.

im currently living in the south east & going through a divorce.
I have no skills on paper or qualifications so minimum wage is the only jobs available for the foreseeable future.

I dont think its possible to stay in this area, as much as i want to, its just unaffordable.

I dont have any family here other than 1 brother who id rather not move away from but realistically i cant see how i can stay in the area.

flat prices are a lot better in yorkshire & durham & im trying to find out about each and which would be better suited/most comfortable for me.

Im mainly concerned with not being able to find an entry level/minimum wage job, are there many available?
also im a pretty nervous/anxious man & safety is a big concern for me. which areas should i avoid? do you feel safe walking around alone?

Id also like to find & make friends - is there much of a community feel to durham? local activities, easy to make firends etc...

thanks
