Benefit: working outside Central London

why do you aks Franco, have you left your permie job?

It's really on the housing component that's significantly more in London, so you should concentrate on that. Most other stuff is about the same - Tesco sells porkpies for the same price everywhere.

On the down side, wouldn't you want extra money for having to be in a place like Slough or Swindon?

Going out costs alot more. If you frequent Ramsey's every evening for a bit of wining and dining, that tends to burn the cash!!!!!

That's not actually true the supermarkets regionally price.

I've not really noticed any difference in price Tesco-wise between North / South.

Anyway it's the old 80/20 optimisation rule. It doesn't really matter if a tin of beans is 1 or 2p cheaper when your monthly rent is 2 grand more
