Giving birth at St James's Hospital by sarah101
Hi there, I'm looking to hear from anyone who has recently given birth at St James's Hospital. What kind of care they received/their experience and costs if possible. Many thanks in advance :)

Schools by Groto
Does anyone have an opinion on the QSI school, or Chiswick House? Positives and negatives would be appreciated!

English Primary Teacher Moving to Malta by Shinysarah
Hi, There's a good chance we'll be moving to Malta next year and I'm currently a primary teacher. I'd like to stay in a school which delivers the British curriculum for obvious reasons...Would this be a realistic possibility? Many thanks Sarah

Beware Paceville by hammersfan
The daughter of a good friend of ours was drugged in Paceville and then taken somewhere else and gang-raped by 4 men on Tuesday night. Make sure you, your daughters, friends etc. stay safe, esp. if you/they visit Paceville at night.
Oh my god!! That is so so terrible! I am sorry for her and her family. These things should never happen. In any country. Hope she manages to suffer as less as possible. And we will be aware and be careful. Read More
