Don’t give me any credit for it as it was not my idea. But I thought it is well worth to share it with everyone. I probably should have posted it into the “getting creative” section. [smiling]

Thank you all for your time.

Our PM told us today about an agency which is specialised in providing short term rentals for immigrants mainly from UK.
