It's very rare though. Often it doesn't even snow in winter.

:D

:cool:

i've been pricing places around manchester for awhile but it seems to be too expensive at least until i finish university. not sure where the top spots are to live in England either.

Where have you been looking?

The top spots are suburbs of the core cities (Cotswolds, Solihull, Cheshire etc). South goes without saying.

If you've got the money, Belgravia :)

Leeds is cheap due to it mainly being a student city. Newcastle is also cheap. I wouldn't go mucking about Manchester mate.

Rent becomes cheaper on average the further north of england you go. If you want to live close or in the city, the north's your best bet. There are a lot of cheap areas in the south but they won't be close to the city's like london, cambridge, oxford. Maybe birmingham but don't quote me on that.

Made me laugh, imagined it in your Yorkshire accent.

A wunt gor muckin' about Manchester mair'

yeah violet told me to look North so i've been looking in more northern areas. i honestly don't know where in the country i would want to live, i would need to do a lot more research before actually committing to it of course. it's just something i've wanted to do for a few years now and would rather try it and dislike it than spend my whole life wishing i had of went for it.

i've basically been looking at any places north of birmingham, i just don't know enough of what each city has to offer aside from the more well known places like in around London, Manchester, Liverpool, etc. so i've looked at those the most.

Have you considered Scotland?

Glasgow is a brilliant city and Edinburgh is just stunning.

haven't, no. i believe the reason the UK has always spoke to me is because of how similar UK and Canadian cultures appear to be. seems like a beautiful country with a lovely sense of community (from an outsiders perspective and speaking in generalities of course.) i think realistically i would have to plan for a trip first to visit before committing to move.

is scotland similar to england in this regard? is it more like this, or maybe i'm just off basis on my assumptions anyway?

I'll break it down for you using my knowledge of the north.

Leeds is great for nightlife and shopping. It tends to be the cheapest place to go clubbing in the north. Rents dirt cheap on average. And by the way, Headingly (student area in Leeds, just behind the university of Leeds), is one of the most hipster places in England. You can quote me on that. I heard you were a hipster or something so thought you'd like to know. Leeds is also closest access to the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District, which by the way, no matter where you are in the north, you HAVE to visit. Hiking up the Dales is quite the adventure, especially in the rain. We also host the Leeds and Reading festival. Our music scene (especially indie hipster **** and heavy metal), are second to none.

Manchester has a great nightlife too, maybe (I'm being generous here, since I'm a proud Loiner). It's probably got a better selection of clubs and bars to visit in my experience. Also, you're a fan of Manchester United right? I can't remember, but if you are then consider Manchester the go to place for footie.

If you chose the mancs though I'll hate you forever just remember that babes.

Newcastle, again, rivals Manchester and Leeds for nightlife. Really that's all I know about Newcastle though. :finger: Did have a great time though when I was there, from what I can remember of it all.

This is all I've got so far that I can speak from experience with. I'd recommend you do loads of research comparing every aspect of each city in the North.

Where is Manowar most likely to play?

Definitely visit first, it's easy to build an image in your head of what you think it will be like but chances are you will only think of the nice side and it won't be the same. When it's good, it's amazing but there is a lot of shit here too.

Scotland, England & Wales aren't that different at all imo, some unique things to each but a lot closer than people think I reckon, they have unique things about them but all three are very British if that makes sense. Scotland is just a little bit colder and more white (the Scottish lads only recently got their first Grime MC). Also I'd say the real difference is between London and the rest of the UK and between affluent/working class areas. Not so much between home nations.

hm, colder makes me unsure about Scotland then. i know people talk about the dreary england weather but i actually quite enjoy foggy overcast days, at least more so than i enjoy the canadian cold.

It's like 1/2 degrees difference, probably still warmer than Canada.

You will notice how big football is here, it's not a joke.

Catch Q-Man on Friday night in the balti house, chicken balti, naan and pilau. Down the boozer Saturday noon for a 3pm kick off. Feeds a hot dog to a police horse and gets nicked.

sounds mint to me tbh. sucks being canadian and not really caring about hockey.

Horses don't eat meat tho...

bloody e'll, it's gunna be banter lads, lets speed this up qwerty we're waiting for you, we'll show you what real banter looks like.

Reckon you would love it during the WC.

They wouldn't eat a burger or something, just for a snack? Fussy cunts tbh.

Hope he likes boiled sheep turds.

Qwerty have you ever had donor kebab? Or curry? Because these are the food's you'll be expected to eat all the time. Are you sure you're ready?

lol good one tbh

yooo donair (east coast canada's doner) and maple curry are two of my favs

wtf

Well we'll have none of that nonsense over here mate

"Maple curry" just sounds like, "Hey, errybody! We're Canadian and ****! What's all this aboot?" But what the **** does "donor" mean?

wow does it taste sweet?

I'm not digging the maple syrup part.

Poutine is life.

Chips cheese and gravy? Hell to the ****ing yes. Didn't know canadians called it that.

yeah a little bit. my sister makes it quite a bit and i'm not sure what her recipe is but it has the perfect balance of sweet and spicy.

poutine is ok

:beer:

Apparently there's a version with curry sauce instead.

I don't know what to say lol.

It's "chips", gravy, and cheese curds. I don't know what the difference is between cheese and cheese curds, but it gives me the creeps.

Oh yeah, sorry bout that. I skimmed the wiki page too fast. Just searched cheese curds, we call them mozzarella dippers over here. love em tho.

weird how our delicious foods are considered weird elsewhere. how dare you all.

Well you don't make them sound appealing, with names like "cheese curds", "poutine" and "maple" curry. You're worse than England when it comes to naming things. Which I didn't think was possible.
