Why I Have To Leave The South

[C0ckney]

sorry to hear about your mum ph.

manchester is nice, i like the place. it's no swansea or bristol but there's loads of cool things going on there.

I take it they were living on Moss Side...that's a rough place, especially back then when you were applying to unis.

Most of the students seemed to live in a bit of Manchester that meant you had to cross Moss Side to get to the uni I think.

Manchester > Reading > Cardiff > Bristol > London > Hull > Swindon

Actually I like Reading, never had a problem with the place and always had a good time there.

And I object to the positioning of Hull. Swindon may well be better

manchester is nice, i like the place. it's no swansea or bristol but there's loads of cool things going on there.

So: Cardiff > Bristol > Swansea > Manchester > London > Swindon > Anyplace, UK > Hull

Still trying to figure out whether Reading comes before or after Manchester. My gut feeling would definitely suggest after...

I like living in Kent. Not the ****ty chav bit near the Thames though. That is dire.


Sevenoaks poly meet anyone?

That's where I'm from, originally. Not chav, though, obviously. A few miles south of the river.

Also, I object to the low ranking that London gets from many of you, but these things are subjective, and depend on personal preference.

The more money you have, the better London seems to be....

[Provost Harrison]

You need lots of money around here.

Well my plan is entering its final phase. My offer was accepted, deposit paid and all checks have gone through. I will begin the move on Friday, have a night out and then complete moving the rest of my stuff on Saturday/Sunday...wish me luck!

[OneFootInTheGrave]

Good luck

[Provost Harrison]

Thanks...well it is all done, the move is complete and I am now in the process of sorting everything out with the week off work I have. But everything is cool, very fancy place.

So, when's the housebraking party?

Good luck with the change in environs

[Provost Harrison]

Yeah, it's all pretty cool...in a cool part of town in a damn nice apartment...can't grumble

Mostly joking. I love London. I just wouldn't want to live there. But then again, I only live 25 mins away by train, quicker for me to get into Central London than it is for many who live in "Greater London" proper, so I get a lot of the benefits of London anyway.

You don't need luck if you can stand living the SAP life everyday

Exactly. I grew up there, so I'd feel pretty traitorous to say I don't like it anymore.

I must say that when I visit I do get pretty nostalgic for the place - even that adrenaline rush you get when you realise you might miss your connecting train home because they think it's a good idea to take out a whole chunk of the tube network at any one time ****ing up your travel plans accordingly as you struggle to find an alternative route...
