Re: Head south if you want a better life

one of the good things about up north is the house prices ,i can buy an entire housing estate here for the price of a london bedsit, and we have proper beer [we get it from germany]

Re: Head south if you want a better life

Anything between the Watford gap and Scotland is depressing.

I went Leicester the other day, it only has 4 semi-decent restaurants. Liverpool the European city of culture, was such a mess a couple of months ago, still looking for a decent meal over there. I could go on and on...

Good luck on my estate - 2 bed flat is 160k, 4 bed detached 450k, 4 bed with larger garden (that's the green area at the front and back of your house) is £550k; you must have very expensive bedsits (pity no one can afford to live in them)

And in London, of course, the streets are paved with gold, and there are no less than salubrious areas

I want to have lots of choices for lunch, even more choices for dinner, plenty of jazz clubs to go to etc etc. Central London has plethora of all of that!

I am impressed with your vocabulary, I had to look up "salubrious".

Re: Head south if you want a better life

If it was warmer up north this southerner would be joining her northern living relatives.

I'm at present on my 9th sunny day in a row.

I've said it before. Will you please refrain from letting them know the true conditions in the North. It's raining in Manchester, has been for weeks, the only let up from the continual rain is when it snows...6ft drifts I had to battle through last night on my way to the communal bath house.

Re: Head south if you want a better life

Actually I do know what the North is really like.I lived for 4 years in Co Durham just outside Darlington so I know how beautiful it is.I just had soooo much trouble with the vile cold winters.I also love Wales but those freezing winters and deep snows put me right off.Those of you who can survive them are very lucky people to live in some of the most wonderful places in Britain.

Trouble is I was born so much further south of where I am at present that I find winter in the UK the pits..Love the country,the people,the democracy but hate the weather.
