 Posted: 19:14 - 03 Sep 2010 Post subject: Where to move/not to move. |
 |
|
I have decided that I am moving away from Banbury, and I have also decided that I much prefer people who live in Sheffield or further north.
The UK is my oyster, and my options are unlimited, so can anyone recommend me some nice towns to move to?
Must be:
Near some nice countryside
Somewhere with at least a half decent nightclub, or a city nearby
Quite a lefty place if possible.
Basically, I really like Hebden Bridge in West Yorkshire, it has all of these things in abundance, but if I can't get work there I need some back-up.
Scotland is definitely an option, but not much further north than Dundee if possible.

Fair enough - you asked for it
1) Everyone said Yorkshire was beautiful and it is, if you get out of the cities, which are awful. Leeds is a classic example of how not to build a city - has none of the mystery of London, none of the architecture and a one way system that baffles me still to this day that you can be caught in it for a half hour at a time. Bradford - who on earth wants to go through that? Strewth. Down south may not have the dramatic landscapes of the country parks but the day to day stuff is far more pleasant.
2) First word anyone spoke to me in Leeds was a bird walking down Headrow asking me if I could spare her some money for a bus and "we could work something out" - FFS girl, that desperate? Good or bad thing depending on your position.
3) The accent - for God sake, it doesn't take 15 seconds to ask if I'm alright - you don't have to say "you allllrrrriiiiiiiiieeeet?" with a whine in your voice. More to the point, when I ask the question, a simple yes would be fine - no need to tell me about your hepatitis and its complicated medication.
4) The wages suck compared to the south, and the house prices anywhere you'd want to live are not proximate to this suckineth.
5) The people just aren't that friendly - period. Everyone builds up this whole northern ethos of talking to people in the street but the truth is no-one in a northern city speaks to the next bloke - the people walking their dogs in the peaks probably do, but in the city they walk on regardless just the same as in London - apart from they're far less accepting of outsiders, so I'm from Essex go up there and speak in Estuary English and you're not welcome in their country pub, despite the fact you're living round the corner. I also saw more fights, drunken toss and spitefulness in 3 months of inner city Leeds than I've seen in 10 years of being in London. Admittedly there's the living above it, being part of it argument and I won't deny that I'm glossing it over somewhat.
6) The public transport is a fucking joke. January last year - I could move from Exeter to Essex no problem on the trains but I couldn't go from Leeds to Doncaster without a fucking taxi. That's just terrible. You lot are supposed to have the shittiest of the weather so when it does come along, you should able to bloody deal with it.
There's far more reasons - but I'd just be going forever. Simply put, I like more of the south than I'll ever like of the north and I dare say there will be someone out there that'll be the direct polar opposite. |
