Personal Development for Smart People Forums - View Single Post - I got a job in England! Any brits out there?

So, a few days ago I was offered a low pay Warehouse job in Leicester, UK.

I've looked all over sweden for every job I could find, warehouse, janitor, bike messenger, gas station attendant, Whatever. And a year later. Nothing.

Then out of nowhere a friend offers me a job!
I took the offer, mainly because I promised myself to take every opportunity I got as a way of kicking myself in the ass so I get on with my life.

Anyway, do you have any suggestions/advice for me, new to the country?

I'm currently checking up on how legit the job is, as well as some other things.

I've read somewhere about Cellphone cards you can buy that don't require any subscription to a phone company, where might I get one of those?
My current swedish subscription would cost me 400euro a week just for being in another country..

I'm leaving for London, Stansted on Saturday so as quickly as possible would be greatly appreciated

(I do not require any visa to work in England apparently, coming from sweden)
