I have been offered a job in Lancaster, England.

This raises a number of questions. First of all, since it rains a lot there I'll need a house with a roof.

Any suggestions?

Q: Don't most houses already have roofs?

Suggestion 1: Buy/Rent house that has roof already installed.

Suggestion 2: As part of accepting job offer, request employer to provide roof for house, assuming house didnt already have one.

Advice?
1) Don't go.
2) If you must, rent. Big-time housing bubble in England that will crash within a year or two.
3) Do not pretend to be Muslim.

How do I convince them that I'm not a muslim? I'm not too fond of pigmeat and I don't like English beer either.

I don't like beer either and I'm living in... Bavaria. Still no problem ;)

Lancre, isn't that where Nanny Ogg lives?

Lancaster has a friendly bridge club (at least it was when I played there once in about 1990). http://www.lancsbrid...uk/lanc1004.htm.
