Good place to live for contracting

I'm darn sarf at the mo and it's awful, can't wait to get home.

But I bet you're loving the rate. Getting good rates up North is like blood from a stone.

Yes all that hard work must be getting to you, you feckless northern monkey

Hard work ???? you're confusing me with someone else.

Best thing about the south is it gives all the tw*ts somewhere to live

Not Rochdale it's sh1t.

Warwick and Leamington aren't bad. I'm not sure I'd recommend Banbury as a place, but it does have good road and train links and isn't too expensive. Anywhere further south and the house and rent prices rise considerably.

And a big chunk of the country is commutable, but I always end up going south where the rates are better.

And the swamp monkey lives there.

Hi Tony, hope things are going ok.

It's the rates that are pushing me down 'sarf...at least £100 a day difference.

Did a gig in Leeds last year, and the place seemed worse than I remember (went to uni there and it seemed quite nice at the time) - perhaps my standards have gone up - or were low to start with??

I looked at Banbury - but the town centre seems a bit cr@p....some nice areas nearby - but going into the Cotswolds you lose the communication links...

More hunting near Leamington / Warwick I think. Thanks for the comments so far everyone

It's not a bad place, as long as you can handle the bizarre characteristics of a city that has possibly the most extreme rich/poor divide outside London.
