Bristol is a more vibrant place with great pubs, clubs and attitude, depends if you're a snob or just out for a good time.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

I like Bristol, I contracted there a year or two ago and it was ok. Comfortable enough to be there on your own, anyway..."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

Bristol
Worked in Bristol about 8 years ago for 18 Months.
I really liked Bristol and still have fond memories of it. The city area around Corn Street is quite nice as well as Clifton etc.
If you into something a bit more bohemian Montpelier is quite nice and IMO the St Pauls festival beats the cr@p out of Nottinghill Carnival as its much less commercial. That being said, its also good to get out of there by nightfall.
The countryside in the West Country is beautiful, Cornwall is close enough for a day drip, London is far enough away, Wales just across the bridge.
IIRC we had three Jones's and two Davies's in our office alone:-)
Been to Newcastle, Manchester, Liverpool, Brighton and I think if I had to settle anywhere in the UK it would be the West Country.
Everywhwre in the UK you go you will get ripoff carparks , traffic wardens and New Labour, although get your voting shoes on and you may be able to do something about the last item on the list:-)There are no evil thoughts except one: the refusal to thinkComment
