To think the north of England offers a worse quality of life than the South or Midlands?

[DDRickyDD]

I was thinking of moving to Lancashire, but having done some research online, it seems a lot of people have negative opinion of it. I'm now set on Warwickshire or Leicestershire. Does the north in general offer a worse quality of life than the Midlands? I know its cheaper up north but is it much worse up there?

Well places in the Ribble Valley regularly win the best place to live in the UK type things, coastal towns like Lytham St Annes also score highly but I guess it'll tick along nicely without you anyway...

You’re talking about huge areas. I’d much rather live in York or Hope Valley, Derbyshire than Leicester or Slough.

A lake you say? No need to brag

I've heard they don't even eat avocados up North.

I live in a lake and eat cold gravel.

Gravel, gravel, we'd've been glad o' gravel when I were a lad. After out shift down t'pit we 'ad to walk 20 miles to school with no shoes and all we got for breakfast were a few pebbles.

I didn't see a plate full of gravel until I was 25 and went to the dazzling lights of Preston.

and even the ducks have it bad now because the racing pigeons stole the football.

So many goady OPs tonight.

Oh, definitely don't come to North Yorkshire.

I had to eat my own young just to survive. And the zombie infestation is getting worse...

@classiccola

Nope and not many of us av cars either.

Give yer head a wobble OP. You can't be that thick, surely.

I have heard all sorts about up north OP, and you are absolutely right. No quality of life at all.
I live in Worcestershire and it's not dissimilar, so don't come here either.

So where's the best place to live? Lancashire, Warwickshire or Leicestershire?

I hope you don't come here. You would lower the tone.

What's an avocado?

I'm hoping this comes through as legible, they don't teach us to read and write all the way up here so I'm just bashing a stottie cake against the keyboard and hoping it forms words.

I’m not even sure what it’s like outside my house, the smog from the Dark Satanic Mills keeps us in constant darkness ...

It's just fine up here in the North especially in the last few years since we got that electricaltricity stuff and water coming out of taps. We even have a few schools now.

I live in the North.

Tbf too @DDRickyDD, these ideas are pretty common. I’ve heard many people ‘from down south’ slagging the north (that people in the north see as the south ).

@DDRickyDD, both of those areas are in the South.... nor in the north of England

Lancashire is a bag of wank, Now Yorkshire there is a place blessed by the gods.

Aye lass. AYE.

So where's the best place to live? Lancashire, Warwickshire or Leicestershire?

They are all Southern.

What are these avocados of which you speak PP? Bread and dripping/mucky fat is t' finest delicacy here. Any road up, off to wash a pig.

Terrible in Lancashire, you stay darn saff you don't want to be mixing with the likes of us.

Don't come. Buy a half share of a shitbox in Zone 6 instead.

H’w’y man, hinny stay safe down South there. Diven’t come up North, it’s al a’ful up here.

It's bloody awful here!

You don't want to come up here you patronising southern bastard , no you really, really don't and we don't fucking want you either.

I love the fact that here in the North we are close to countryside and beaches where on a quiet day you could be the only person there.

STFU Campervan.!
