If you could relocate to somewhere else in the UK where would it be?Talking to my wife about maybe moving to Edinburgh (where she is from). Her parents are getting older and her mother is starting to have health problems, so would be better for my wife to be there.
It's a great city, could get a really nice family home there for the value of our flat in London.
So if I could find a decent job there could be good.
Where would you move to within the UK if you had the choice?
ALT: Where would you hate to live?
ALT ALT: Ever had a sexually transmitted disease?

But London isn't London.When you ask someone whereabouts in London they live, they inevitably mention some mongy suburb, so far from the centre of London that it would be the equivalent of someone in Warrington saying they live next door to me in Liverpool. You live miles away from your mates who also live in 'London' and life stops at the last tube train. You'd have to be a millionaire, or Swipe at the least, to enjoy living in actual London.

Mentally ill neighbour walking around naked outside. Police did nothing.
Drug deals taking place around the corner.
I saw 2 kids trying to steal a motorbike off our shared driveway a couple of nights ago.
Sick of the sirens.
Some bloke had his cock out pissing the in the street. At 2.30 in the afternoon.
Street drinkers down the road constantly yelling abuse.

But mo' money helps wherever you live. And in London you have to measure by avg London salary, not the national average. There are a lot of people who earn less than the national avg in London, which prices them out of almost everything.
Alot of the Londoners on here have worthwhile vocational jobs that don't pay that well, whereas people like Swipe have a high salaried job but little societal respect.

Don't tell them that.They, and indeed the jocks and micks, need a reason to feel different. and perhaps superior to the country that robbed them of their culture.

I thought the same a few years agobut I have since found that most places I've stayed in London have a very sort of village-y feel to them, even though you're less than half an hour out of central London you don't really have to bother with it if you don't want to.
Erm. If that makes any kind of sense?

I live just outside Edinburgh and I love itThe city is close enough to get in and out of, but it's not too close. I used to live in a flat in town which was just crap. No space, noisy neighbours, shite parking - hellish.
I'm 20 mins from town and got a great house, own driveway etc, and really great neighbours.
Only downside is the shit weather. If we could relocate the whole place a few hundred miles south it'd be great.
