Hi reddit, I’m trying to move to somewhere between Norwich and Great Yarmouth as an American on a spousal visa. We have everything complete except a job offer letter. My question is, where do locals actually look for job postings? I keep checking sites like indeed, but it seems sparse. Any local websites or places I should know about? My husband used to work in the banking industry and also in the casino gaming industry if that helps.
Lovejoy Rewatch - S01E04 - Friends, Romans and Enemies
Lovejoy and Gimbert are both stony broke this week, and that feeds into a very unusual opening scene with Gimbert stalking Lovejoy through his house with a loaded shotgun. Very dramatic for what is a lightweight comedy. Turns out poor Charlie had a bad night in a Yarmouth casino, and wants his eight weeks back rent from Lovejoy. As Lovejoy doesn't have it, Gimbert lets him off a week if he'll "Do a scan" which, as Lovejoy describes in one of his trademark third-wall breaking monologues is, "Going through a job lot of stuff sorting out the genuine articles from the shoddy graphology(?) of the modern world." Not sure of that word even after rewinding. In this case, it's the house of a recently deceased man than need scanning. The scan reveals a "genuine fake" painting and then fake American relatives of the deceased turn up, and the plot morphs into Roman coins stolen from the local museum. Of course, one of the Americans has to be a comely blonde woman who Lovejoy takes an eye to. The plot leads Lovejoy to the Isle of Man, and it's good to see the production moving out of its usual location. Here, he meets the dead man's sister. All is ticking over until Lady Jane and Eric turn up! And of course the Americans are not far behind. There's a bit too much first-person camerawork in this episode as they try to ramp up the scary story. I'm reminded in this episode more than previous ones that the series is based on the books by Jonathan Gash. I've read a few and Gash's knowledge of antiques and especially the trade comes through really well in the books and also here. Random Observations
Loved the opening shot over the roof onto the market square of what IMDB tells me is Elm Hill, Norwich
Tinker really is a hard-core drinker. I remembered him as a loveable pub-goer but in this episode he's more sloppy alkie, though he does still manage to keep it together when it counts
Charlie's sister is a strange character. She's usually played for laughs but seems to have some untreated mental problems
Loved Lovejoy's time with his daughter at her posh school and her schooling him on Roman history in the UK. The scene reminded me of On The Up, a British sitcom with a loveable rogue who has a posh ex-wife and they have one daughter who they send to public school.
Character of the Week: The museum curator, played by Shelia Keith, who I know from Hamish MacBeth, where she played Aunt Ella in a wonderful episode called "The Lochdubh Deluxe" Memorable quotes
Lovejoy [to Eric]: I've been teaching you a month and you still think Faberge eggs are crusted chocolates
and
Eric: Not ivory then?
Lovejoy: Made in Taiwan. They simulate the grain with a wax coating pitted with a kitchen cheese shredder, diluted in phosphoric acid
Casino self-bans are available in all Australian states. However, liquor self-bans are officially only available in New South Wales. Why?
TL;DR
My actual questions are at the very end of this post. If you're in a hurry, you may skip the rest.
Gambling self-bans
Gambling self-bans are useful for those who want to quit. Often, you can fill in one form and be banned from all the casinos in a state, province, or country. Most problem gamblers don't self-ban, but some do. Self-bans seem to help at least some people to gamble less often. (Source.) I did some Google searching. It looks like gambling self-exclusion is available in all Australian states. (Source.) The service is also available in New Zealand, the US, the UK, Canada, South Africa, and elsewhere. Casinos have different ways of detecting self-banned individuals. Some use face-recognition software. It depends where you live.
Liquor self-bans
I saw a post by revertoe, and it got me thinking about liquor self-bans. Just as gambling self-bans can be useful for problem gamblers, I assume that self-bans from bars and pubs might likewise be useful for people who want help with abstinence.
New South Wales
New South Wales has a liquor self-exclusion scheme. The scheme is described in the Liquor Act, and in a webpage on the Liquor & Gaming NSW website. You fill in a form (PDF). You attach a photo of yourself. You tick a box to specify how long the voluntary exclusion will continue (e.g. 6 months). You bring a photocopy of the form to each of your favorite bars. Then, if you try to visit any one of these bars, they can kick you out. It's not a panacea, but if you want to quit drinking, I think it might help.
Great Yarmouth
The town of Great Yarmouth, England, launched an alcohol self-exclusion scheme about a decade ago. Your information, and your photo, go into a database. (Source.) If your favorite bars or liquor stores don't yet have access to the database, they'll be granted access. (Source.) There's no law which forbids venues from serving self-banned customers. But it's a bad idea to sell alcohol to such individuals; and I guess that the Count Me Out team is probably skilled at convincing venue owners that this is so. If you try to buy alcohol, the Count Me Out team may contact your doctor, social worker, probation officer, and/or local police department. These officials in turn may contact you and (if you've consented) your family, friends, and/or AA sponsor. (See this source.)
Everywhere else
As far as I can tell, everywhere else, the liquor self-ban process isn't so well-defined. You can ask bar staff to self-ban you. If you ask nicely, they might well honor your request. (Source.) (If you instead want them to limit your drinks, they again might be willing to help; see this source.) But they're not legally obligated to honor any request.
Note
I've never been to Australia.
My questions
I assume that problem drinking leads to far more injuries and deaths than problem gambling. (Consider, for example, drink driving.) A) If gambling self-bans are such a well-defined process everywhere, why are liquor self-bans generally not an equally well-defined process outside of New South Wales? B) (If you have any experience with the liquor self-ban scheme:) In your experience, has the New South Wales liquor self-ban scheme been helpful or unhelpful to participants?
Casino self-bans are available everywhere. Unfortunately, bar self-bans are officially only available in Australia. Why?

New South Wales
New South Wales is an Australian province of about eight million people. In that province, there's a liquor self-exclusion scheme. The scheme is described in the Liquor Act, and in a webpage on the Liquor & Gaming NSW website. You fill in a form (PDF). You attach a photo of yourself. You tick a box to specify how long the voluntary exclusion will continue (e.g. 6 months). You bring a photocopy of the form to each of your favorite bars. Then, if you try to visit any one of these bars, they can kick you out. It's not a panacea, but if you want to quit drinking, I think it might help.
