and move to London. Live in the burbs or in a shoebox in town. But move to the central city. Better to be happy about environment and pay a little more (when you are single). When you have a wife to bang every night and kids that want space, you can move back to BFE (bum****egypt)Speaking of Erith:

PH - 15 or 20 years ago I rather felt the way you do now. What I have learnt is that a lot depends on becoming able to influence people and so have some control over how they respond to you. It is something everyone has to some extent, part conscious and part instinctive, but can be improved with practice. You don't have to like your work colleagues, it can be easier with people you despise, but you do have to be determined to persuade others to do things your way. When you can get to the point where they don't even recognise either the carrot or the stick, just that they will go with what you are saying then you have got it.Never give an AI an even break.Comment

Provost: I sympathise entirely. If you're thinking of Northampton, keep going South...

Just hope they're not too smart for you down south because then you'll have to be in the middle.
Have you thought about going west? What's west? The Welch? Are Welch chicks hot?

West is Manchester, Leeds or Liverpool but there hasn't been anything of any use jobwise going on there.Speaking of Erith:

I take issue with the idea that its not your accent which matters, but your frame of mind. Certainly, Accent is never the only thing which can cause problems, and your state of mind can also be a problem .. however, my experience had nothing to do with state of mind, and everything to do with South hating idiots .. I wouldn't mind, but for god sake, im from Chester.
So, yes you can be discriminated against for your accent, and yes your right, frame of mind can also cause you problems."Wherever wood floats, you will find the British" . NapoleonComment

Thought it was about time for one of these to come around again! Make a decision. I'm going to say the opposite of TCO here; I don't think the city life would suit you. It would be even more hellish. Move to somewhere like Cromer or Rhyl..

Re: Why I Have To Leave The North...
Sounds like you've got it figured. Move away, probably somewhere nearer the south. Living will be more expensive, but wages will be higher.Originally posted by Provost Harrison
Any comments?
Or you could move further North, to someone like Edinburgh?Smile
