Well Done Expat-Blog

These fellas and lasses on this site know their onions ! All for free too, brilliant.

We hate "BE".

Please like this

In fairness a big chunk of that fee goes to a local animal charity, so that doesn't bother me.

Can't see why anyone should 'hate' BE, it has served expats very well for a number of years!

It has gone quieter of late with the change to the website and one or two members moving on but that is not a reason to 'Hate' it.

I once got told by them the £25 yearly fee "helped running costs". A website domain is about £3 per year,and most posts are by the public. Doesnt add up.

50% goes to the SPCA!  No one is forced to pay but it does keep the riff-raff out!

No comeback, BE is a business and that's how they make their money. This Blog, I guess, makes it's money from advertising, Julian does not run it for the good of his health!
