          At least we get gravy up north. A chippy without gravy is just wrong.

              Gravy is disgusting.

              I like my chips crispy not soggy.

              Oh and some chippies down South sell that disgusting stuff.

                What?

                You serve Haddock supper at the local chippie shop with the skin still bleeding on it. It's just wrong.

                    I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

                      If you're travelling on the M62, get flexible hours if you can or you're in for a treat.
                      I was going to say avoid ANY commute on the b'tard of a 'road'. This is coming from someone who did the M25 for 10 years. If you're on that side of the Pennines there more work in Leeds than else where. Manchester is buzzing ATM and rates are good, but you'll have stiff competition. Accomodation in Stockport is far cheaper than Manchester.
