BOYCOTT BOV

  1. Mistreat their Customers

  2. Mistreat their own Staff

  3. Internal sources tell me they work with a lot of third party companies to minimise costs

  4. Internal sources also tell me level of unguided chaos they go through every day with half the people being overpaid for basically miss managing their own staff

  5. To hide all the damage they do, they do all sort of charity activities throughout the year

Definitely not a bank for people but a bank of greediness with no intention of keeping customers happy but rather let chaos role as long as they get something in their pockets. (Labour style)

Why is the Maltese language as secondary language by schools, working places etc ion malta?

The lecturers at University of Malta, especially in my class, refuse to teach in Maltese and always use English. Even when there are no foreign students, the lectures are still in English. I checked, and at MCAST the official language is also English. I even saw someone on the news saying that using Maltese as an official language in higher education will probably never happen.

I also got an internship, and everything is in English there too. We’re always expected to speak English. It feels like it’s English all the time. At this rate, in a few years I’ll end up sounding like an Englishman.

Colourful Spring in Malta

It's been gorgeous with bright flowers everywhere this past week. Am I imagining it, or has it been particularly colourful this year? Maybe I just wasn't as aware of it in the past.

Tipping?

Just spent a fantastic 3 night stay in Malta. Loved it. Stayed near the Step Down bar in Sliema. Felt authentic to me, really enjoyed the bars and, especially, the food. Appreciated the that when it came time to pay there were no surcharges or tipping nonsense. Prices were good and I probably ordered more than I would normally as a result- cocktails etc. However, last day in Valetta was twice asked to tip, first time quite aggressively (paid 10%), second time less so (declined - it was hard work just getting served). Where’s it going in Malta? I hate the whole tipping dance and I’m happy to pay reasonable prices.

Any travel tips etc would be AMAZING!

Scam at EUROSPAR Tigne Point

Got scammed on “organic” meat by my butcher

For months I’ve been buying “organic” meat from different European countries (Ireland, Italy, etc.) at premium prices.

Today I asked to see the label. I had to pressure a bit the butcher. Turns out the meat wasn’t organic AT ALL and came entirely from Poland (born, raised, and slaughtered there). But the label clearly said “Organic - Ireland.”

When I confronted him, the butcher claimed the animal was raised in Ireland then slaughtered in Poland. Lie. The actual label says otherwise.

PSA: Always check the label yourself. Ask to see where the animal was actually born, raised, AND slaughtered. It’s your legal right.

Abandoned Car in Malta with Oakville Honda license plate holder

As a former resident of Oakville, I found this online and was curious if anyone knew about this car. I am very curious if someone had their 2005-2011 Civic Hybrid stolen from the area some time before June 2021. For privacy reasons I covered up the plate, but if you think it was yours.... let me know.

"This car has been abandoned in a private shopping mall parking in Sliema, Malta for three or four years.

It is a 2006-2009 Honda Civic hybrid with Ontario, Canada plates, bought from a dealership called Oakville Honda.

Every time I pass by, I'm excited to confirm that it's still there, and achingly curious as to the story behind it.

Interestingly, as per PlatesMania, this same car was spotted, sans thick layer of dust, at Bluewater Shopping Centre in Dartford, Kent, UK.

Why and how did a car from Ontario make it all the way to the UK and then Malta? Why has it been abandoned and collecting dust all this time? What happened to its owner? Why hasn't it been towed away by parking garage management? How hard would it be to get it running after all this time?"

Moving to Malta

Hello,

I am 22M coming from outside the EU. I will be having a position whereby I will make an annual income of 34k EUR annually. I would like to know whether it would work? With the national insurance thing, election and growing anti-immigrant wave I am hearing about. I'd like to know your genuine thoughts about coming there. I understand that it is being overpopulated, incredibly high prices and a lot of corruption. I would be considered a skilled labour with ACCA and FMVA joining a big 4 firm from Mauritius. Would like to hear your thoughts, up to you..

Staying in Birkirkara and need your advice for rent and places to go and general life

What’s something about everyday life in Malta that feels completely normal to you, but surprises people from other countries?

I’ve been reading about daily life in smaller countries, and Malta seems to have a really unique mix of cultures and influences.

For people living in Malta — what’s something (lifestyle, food, language mix, traditions, daily routines, etc.) that you didn’t realize was unusual until you saw how things work elsewhere?

Would love to hear both small everyday things and bigger cultural differences.

Sounds like a large outdoor venture of some sort but not it could be a club if some sort with a pretty huge speaker setup?

Has anyone got an idea what/where this is?

I really wanna go there…
