pap Posted 6 May, 2015 Share Posted 6 May, 2015 Yes, but when you're taking £200 per day from my daily rate, that £300 pcm doesn't even start to help... It's not that large. They'll pay you more than £1 a day. Christ, even minimum wage demands that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badgerx16 Posted 6 May, 2015 Share Posted 6 May, 2015 It's an opinion, so not wrong, but you may disagree with my opinion. I have a lot of family up North, so it's not as if I have never been there, but there have only been two places that I think I would consider moving to - Ilkley and Harrogate. Wrong side o' t'hills.

shurlock Posted 6 May, 2015 Share Posted 6 May, 2015 I think London is pretty much the best city on earth. Best place in the UK; but not earth. Think its lost some of its sheen in recent and becoming more and bland. Surely there's a limit to how many estate agents, hair dressers, Eat's and Itsu's you can have.

SuperMikey Posted 6 May, 2015 Share Posted 6 May, 2015 Talking about affordability, I moved to Edinburgh in November and looking at property prices here it's unbelievable what you get for your money. Just goes to show it is all about location. Seen houses change hands where I grew up in North Hampshire for around £350k that probably wouldn't fetch more than £180k here.

True its a general trend, though I think the cult of the highstreet, possibly a legacy of centralisation, seems more pronounced here than in other cities. A property boom --again more pronounced in London than other major cities, has also introduced its own distortions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KelvinsRightGlove Posted 6 May, 2015 Share Posted 6 May, 2015 True its a general trend, though I think the cult of the highstreet, possibly a legacy of centralisation, seems more pronounced here than in other cities. A property boom --again more pronounced in London than other major cities, has also introduced its own distortions. Agree to a degree with this and your post above. Though I have a feeling (may be wrong/wishful thinking) that this trend may shift a little again in recent years. I'm not for one minute suggesting we are going to see a string of high street shops collapsing but there is a trend for smaller more individual places cropping up and being successful. I think this is coupled with internet shopping. If you can get everything you can get online, why bother with the high street? Especially in London, where High Streets are often either rammed, or the usual High Street chains are taking up lots of retail space in mega-malls, like the two Westfields at either end of town. I think this leaves a bit of space for independent stores that offer truly unique things a niche to make their own, same for cafes, bars and restaraunts. Obviously, there are still some pretty huge hurdles to leap. Space is at a huge premium. But I really hope there can be a slight (at least) rebalancing of this. As relatively new resident of East London, have to confess I really love a lot of the smaller, quirky stuff you get out this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altrincham is v nice, as I just said the gf is from there. Though, it does kind of feel like it is a suburb that could be anywhere in the country. Whether or not that is a bad thing, is personal opinion I guess. It's also a tad odd in that it must one of the very few places in the north with a "Working Man's Conservative Club" right in the middle of town.
