Re: Abu Dhabi move, Al Hosn gas and girlfriend
Reading the information Hooker supplied (cheers), it would seem that Al Hosn previously paid utility bills....but don't anymore!!! Instead they give a "general allowance", which has already been included in the offer!
So the way I understand it, you pay the bills, they give you an allowance to do so. But as the existing offers include that allowance....you are effectively paying your bills out of the total salary offered....and not Al Hosn paying them on top of your salary (as I was led to believe!).
Does that make any sense? I'm so confused I've just paid full price for a packet of Tesco's popcorn! Tastes a bit like horse.

I was never under the impression that they paid our bills, it was never offered, even by TS. The advertised a lot of money and benefits but utilities wasn't one of them.
I might be wrong, but in Abu Dhabi if you stay in the companies own accommodation it's included but not if you find your own gaff. Ive always had 2,000 AED for utilities and around £100 for broadband in my calculations for "is it worth it?"
