I don't get it. ~~If you're an immigrant who's already made it to the EU,~~ why would you want to go to England in the first place?

As a Brit, that's better.

Jokes aside, here's a couple of reasons I can think off the top of my head.

  1. English is really common for people to speak as a second language. More likely to be drawn to a country where they have some chance of being able to communicate.

  2. they may have friends or family already here (maybe who've chosen the UK due to point 1). People are far more likely to go somewhere where they already know people.

Your house probably had a loft extension to add another floor, or you live in one of those tall townhouses that are three stories so they can fit more over priced new builds onto a tiny estate with no parking.

In the UK most lifts have a G for ground floor.

Must do as I can see the post. Maybe there's some kind of technical issue that causes the delay. Maybe reach out to the admins of . world?

UK. But it's actually a German company. Everywhere I've worked has been pushy about you using your holiday though (managers obviously don't want it to hit the end of the year and suddenly everyone wants to use it instead of loosing it) but the 75% almost as soon as it renews is the most extreme example I've come across.

It's actually below the lizardman constant.

In 2013 a Public Policy Polling poll found

four percent of Americans believe lizardmen are running the Earth", which Alexander attributed to people giving a polling company an answer they did not really believe to be true, out of carelessness, politeness, anger, or amusement

My holiday year renews in April. If I've not got 75% of mine booked by June they moan at me everyday until I get it booked. I'm pretty sure that if I don't book it up the policy is that they'll just book me off (at times it suits them of course).

Sounds like your country has really shitty workers rights.
