    I can get most things that I need here these days and we bake our own bread so thats one less thing to worry about although the french sticks from the mall are pretty good. We can get stuff like HP sauce and pretty good sausages from a local European butcher.
    Local Booze is really cheap and imported Polish,russian vodka is half UK prices..We got an English geezer making chicken/steak@ kidney pies up the road...120,00 PHP with proper chips..
    Not too shabby!
    To be honest I dont miss a thing about the UK except family which an hour a week on Skype sorts out.

    Regards,
    Fred.

    Yeah... not all but it's getting there...
    Scares me sometimes tbh. Before you can hardly apply for credit cards without them checking your financial status but now, the CC companies are enticing you to have CC in no time...

    Yes some banks (mostly of the Commercial banks) has "tie-ups" with those companies (Meralco, PLDT, Sky cable to name a few). So if you maintain an account with them, you can pay online or use the ATM's of their banks or any other ATM as long as they are a member bank of your maintaining bank. This is called "convenience banking". Ex. BPI and Globe Telecommunications Co. By using the ATM card you can debit your BPI account and credit a load to your mobile phone if you have a globe simcard.
    Take Note there is a service charge per withdrawal if you use an ATM other than your bank's ATM.
    " The people who mean something to your life are not rated "the best" don't have the most money, haven't won the greatest prizes....
    They are the ones who care about you, take care of you, those who, no matter what, stay close by... "
