It's good other than the cost to live here...complete joke.
I spent a year living oop north and commutting back to London at the weekends. People I was working with could'nt understand how we could afford to live down south with the cost of property etc. What they couldn't see was that they spent a hell of a lot more on beer, social and food, whereas down south only the young with no mortgage could go out and "do the eight" (pints) everyweekend plus meals out and takeaways.
Even though their wages were less they had a better standard of living. But..for many wages were a lot less and even having a job was a big deal, and bosses/managers were more aggressive.

This is true having lived up North myself in the fantastic city of Liverpool everybody lives for the weekend and 5 pints and a line after work everyday.
Get the tan on the Friday, Hair done Saturday morning, New designer outfit in the afternoon...etc etc...
No chance down here all our money goes on the bills...sad state of affair.
True, but that's not my choice of lifestyle, never has been, which is why I turned down the permanent job there.
Pricing a job for a couple now from Liverpool - down south 17 years, went back last year and have come back south after 12mnth, even though they'll both work now and he'll have to go back on the sites.

5 pints every nite and a line ...not my experience lol. For a few maybe but not the many.
Never heard such nonsense.
Some areas of North Yorkshire are up there with the most expensive in the uk, As regards house prices, aswell as areas of Cheshire, etc. That lifestyle might be apt if your 25. Daft sweeping statements.
Yes it is mainly the young-uns but there quite a few others. Somebody I know quite well lives in Beverley, v.expensive real estate, and yes, that is his lifestyle. I drink halves when I go out with him, leave the gear alone and still cannot keep up.
I haven’t touched any drugs for 20 years and I don’t drink, I guess I’m the exception to the rule, rather than the rule.
Ha I think it says more about the company you keep,
I don’t know any one who still shoves Shite up there noses, and I socialise with a wide group of people, but I’m a married 40 year old family man. can’t see it as a north/south thing but there you go.
I think you would be surprised your area is as affluent as alot of areas doqn south far from a true northern town reflection imo
Yes maybe, but i know a lot from poor working class areas, Bradford, keighley (near where I grew up) leeds centre etc. All opinion isn’t it, just not my experience I guess.
It's true, I have a very wide social circle, and certain parts of it have done drugs all their lives. It's no respecter of geography, social class or type either. Zombie is right, there is a huge variation.
I was in Dewsbury last year, desperately poor, down on the bones of its arse place, only drinkers and druggies out at night, but surrounded by some very nice areas and very expensive places. Their lifestyle was as good and probably better than in the south. It did seem to me though, that they were also able to afford and did like to drink more.

Ye the drug problem in this country is almost ignored in the media and yes is widespread. Bizzare we are stopping the world for covid but the drug problem dosent get a mention. Maybe its part of the plan to have a drugged population.

Very true that there is bigger problems with drugs, alcohol, smoking in this country that kills far more people but they don't want to stop that because it's a way of culling the population behind closed doors!

Half million people die uk a year. I hope they will update us every day of deaths after this. Then people will start to respect the world better. This covid nothing. Polio 1955 killed 12 thousand little children that hadn't started ther life!!
