Exactly 18 year go, on 8th November 2008, my very first On Your Side column was published in @TheNationalNews. I would never have though that I would still be writing it all these years later. We were the first proper consumer column in the UAE. Copied since but not bettered. This is today's column. 2 reader Q&As 1. How to legally tutor in the UAE 2. How to cancel a visa when a company fails & the owner disappears Facts & answers in plain English. Contact address in column. thenationalnews.com/business…

When someone says: "I don't know how to help"? But all I'm asking is for people share and leave a dot. 3 replies — even dots — can save my children 💔 To donate 👇👇 gofund.me/017c79c6e
Readers added context they thought people might want to know

Beautiful!
The “Prima Ballerina” fountain is located in Kościuszko Square in the town of Poddębice, Poland. This extraordinary work of art was created by sculptor Małgorzata Chodakowska, who is renowned for combining bronze and water as equally important artistic materials. The installation features three slender ballerina figures, with water flowing from their waists to form delicate, flowing skirts that appear to billow gracefully in the breeze.

Is the “buy one, get one” an extra hand? Fed up with all the crap AI advertising.

I don’t live in a bubble. I will listen to varying opinions. I read a wide range of news sources. Where I draw the line is having anything to do with people who support Trump. He is a convicted criminal, misogynist, racist, & liar. You can judge a person by the company they keep.

𝐃𝐮𝐛𝐚𝐢'𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐬𝐨𝐨𝐧! 🍅🍆🫑🌶️🥒🌽🥖 The first one will be on Saturday 7th November and then every week until April 2027. Alserkal Avenue, Al Quoz from 9am to 4pm. All produce is grown in the UAE. It's fresh, tasty, and you support local businesses. You won't find better vegetables anywhere in the UAE. As well as vegetables there is often some fruit (the locally grown figs are amazing), and usually eggs, cheeses, breads, pastries and more. Put the dates in your diary. See you there! 😊 I don't work for them but it's A Good Thing. #Dubai
