My Questions for Interviewing Housemates
I had to interview some potential housemates the other day – it was the first time I’d ever needed to do this, so I did some research into what other people recommended asking.

I’ve had some surprising burgers (Almost Famous) but never before have I had such disappointment in a burger as at Lockhouse. I was excited because they had allegedly won the UK National Burger Awards earlier in … Continue reading Disappointment in a Burger
