Reply to: As someone who has always lived in 'down sarf', if I was to go up North (to Leeds)

[BA to the Stars]

You're from down south - I suppose that means Sheffield

You wouldn't like it Leeds - don't come here

Do us all in Leeds a favour

[Mich the Tester]

lol, true. Why do Northerners always talk about Gods country, then moan about how lucky we are down south?

To keep you down south.

They talk funny as well, like this.

'Hey oop lad'
'Er, hello'
'Eee thee talks funny lad'
'I'm from Oz'
'Oz eh ?'
'Whats THAT?'
'Oh thats cedric, my ferret'
'Whats it doing in the pub?'
'Looking for food. it eats oms'
'Owww it just bit me mate'
'Aye, thats cause your a 'om'

Remember though 117. They have gravy with their chips 'oop North' but if you find you've run out, just ask any male Northener you find, they normally have an abundance due to the large ones they have on their shoulders.

Men in flat caps walking whippets.

Women in very short skirts. Some of them truly lovely.

Your arse on a plate if you don't throw a few 'thees' and 'thas' into your conversation.

Leeds is happening if you like nightlife....
What you will get is warm friendly people and you'll get a proper curry and premium lager for less than a fiver (a lot less). Weather isn't as good as down here but with what you save on house prices you can just buy a holiday home in the sun (which is what I did).

Don't encourage him, please.

Leeds is happening if you like nightlife. The surrounding areas are terrible though unless you head north towards Adel, Shadwell, Harrogate, Wetherby in which case it gets a whole lot better.

Contract rates are still depressed though and opportunities aren't what they were 4 years ago (naturally) but there are signs of improvement.
