It is never east to find a good builder or rated tradesman in a big city or large urban area. People there are less likely to form early friendships with strangers, and are also much more reticent to give advice or become involved in other peoples business. Hence, the personal referrals that work so well in the countryside are seldom of any use in big cities.Tradespeople also know this fact, and some take unfair advantage by making quick killings and then moving on. If you can afford the higher fees, then one way around this problem is to contract with large companies who have a reputation to maintain, and staff to deal with complaints coolly and impartially.The air space in the middle is of course the question of how to track down a reliable recommended builder in a big city that you can afford, because they do not have the overheads of the large firms. There are always good tradespeople when you look in the right places, and I have usually been able to find details of several London builders to choose from, by using a company called Mr-Price. Using their website is simplicity itself. All you have to do is to type mr-price.co.uk in the address box, and then enter your postal code...more

There is a lot of confusing and misleading information when it comes to what is and what is not culturally acceptable in Dubai. Dubai is a vibrant cosmopolitan city with over 100 nationalities living together in harmony. Millions of tourists flock to Dubai every year and the city is truly a cultural crossroads. The local population is quite small (estimated around 15%), but Emiratis in general are warm, welcoming, and very tolerant of foreign visitors and residents. In return, it is greatly appreciated if those who travel to Dubai take a little time to learn about the local customs and culture.The UAE is a Muslim country. The culture is based on a deeply rooted belief in Islam and centers on the family. Mosques are dotted throughout the landscape of Dubai and five times a day the melodious prayer call or "adhan" will be heard. The official weekend is Friday, although government offices and certain multinational companies are also closed on Saturday. Arabic is the official language; however English is widely spoken by almost everyone and all the street signs are in both English and Arabic. There is no specific dress code in Dubai, and you will see both ends of the spectrum from...more
