To hate living in Manchester (and North in general)

[ILikeMilk]

Moved here four years ago to be with DH, and I still cannot get used to it. We are in a nicest area of Manchester, and it is still feels very provincial and boring. I dream about living in London, but DH does not want to look for a new job. I feel like there is no point and don?t want to decorate the house, make friends, etc, I just fantasise about being in London every single day. There is not much to do here, no nice streets or galleries, not much to do on the weekends as a family. I went to London this weekend, it was so painful to come back. Does anybody else feel this way?

I am a bit eccentric, but here people just find me weird. Hale crowd is too stuck up for me, more money than class"

You need to try Hebden Bridge or Todmorden then. Lots of ex-London hipster types colonising the Valley nowadays. Polenta coming out there arses, art "happenings" every other day. You'll love it.

I think it's a bit like vomiting up your dinner and eating it again.

It’s like the Twilight Zone in here.......
