Hi, my name is Eric, I hate that there is so much football televised so that it interupts the regular schedules of broadcasters. Not only that but theyāre not just content enough with showing the match, they then have a load of āhas beensā disecting it for another hour. Next āThe Newsā is shown and guess what, F****ng highlights of the match thats just been shown.
God give me strength!!!

Hello!
Iām Mike, I currently reside in Wigan but I donāt like rugby. Originally from Liverpool but donāt like football, or any sports really. Iāve worked in retail nearly all of my working life.
Iām a lover of all things Tech related.
Iāve been using Monzo for a few months now to pay all my bills, still trying to convince the wife to ditch the legacy bank.

Hi Neil! Sorry for my delayed response. Regarding to finding smaller hotels or B&B places, you can always use Airbnb as you probably have expected to hear but also if you are really willing to stick with something authentically Japanese, try to search āMinshukuā: https://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2026.html
If you are coming to Kyoto, I got an amazing list of where to go

Hi Hilari, lovely to hear back from you and thanks for the link. Definitely want to āgo authenticā. Hopefully keep in touch and maybe meet up when I come to Kyoto? I am so excited about my trip to Japan, it looks amazing! N
greetings 
just joined the community after poking around for a while!
pretty rare to find an organization of people with ideas and a business (especially a bank) that share a lot of values significantly similar to myself. i absolutely love every single thing iāve read, seen and heard from monzo, and have had an excellent experience with the app.
additionally itās great to see a vibrant community supporting the teams who are #making-monzo and the users providing valuable feedback.
after observing and experiencing financial difficulty growing up, and the various ways it impacts other areas of peopleās lives, the way monzo conducts itself through its refreshing transparency, reasonings and customer-centric actions and functions, are simply outstanding 
within a couple days of account opening, i loved it so much i took the plunge and went full monzo, trusting it with all of my finances, DDs, SOs, salary, etc. itās been nothing short of amazing. as someone working in one of the major banks myself currently, it was a pleasure to change my payroll to monzo.
have gotten several people to join, and look forward to monzo becoming the best bank for over a billion people!

Hi everyone 
My nameās Ben. Joined Monzo community today after having a poke around - Iāve been a Monzo customer for about a year now, went #fullmonzo about 6/7mnths ago, but never got involved in the community side of thingsā¦until now!
Iām currently a marketing manager working for an agency in the East Midlands, I also have my own (part time) events management company too. Iām currently very passionate about digital accessibility, just partnered with Shaw Trust Accessibility Services in Wales to ensure that all of our digital services are accessible by disabled people.
Also, to many peopleās dismay, I am an Arsenal fan (but Iāll leave that part out of as much as I can).

HI Jack, thanks for the welcome message! Whatās the best way to engage here? I find the format a bit confusing, do I just dive into a subject and chat? Can I 'link up with people on here e.g. in a group or something so we can chat regularly about stuff as well if we share similar interests etc?
Iām travelling to Japan next year and keen to get some tips and ideas for the trip.
Cheers
