WITH REFERENCE TO HULL CITY OF CULTURE…
WITH REFERENCE TO HULL CITY OF CULTURE 2017
Before Hull City of Culture happened I lived in Hull and was being bullied by some of it's residents who knew sweet fanny adams about my problems in various places and in various supermarkets and cafés.This caused me extra suffering when I was already suffering and I was also mistreated by Hull City Council staff when they knew sweet fanny adams about my problems as well.This caused me to react by leaving a voicemail on Asdas phone line ~~~
(at that time a customer could leave a message on their voicemail) saying that the people of Hull were ignorant.To be clear at that point and at any point I meant ignorant of my problems not lacking in education and culture.This review is about our attitude to other people because it's good to be open minded and exercise a little humanity.

Scammers
Good Morning,
Unfortunately, all that description is true.
I had never seen that during several years of studies, instead of improving, my results fluctuated enough to push me to repay those cheaters. When you book a test, your purpose (= your requested level is known) therefore it is easy for them to mark you down, and you will have any possibility to check your copies (written with a pencil!).
Furthermore, they cheat when they have to refund you or postpone your test.
Things have been worsened by Brexit and the covid-19 pandemic, the British Council needs so much money that they downside their invigilators, the registration was even accomplished in the corridor and the exam room lacks heat. They have sold India's part to the IDP.
Effectively, the exam conditions are not respectful of the impressive number of working hours you have accomplished, I saw an invigilator interrupting my writing part and asking for an answer without delay in order to change my speaking test hour!!!!
They are Scammers, it is true.
