Fook that, I love warm weather and like to have an outdoor lifestyle that doesn't require wearing arctic clothing in August.

Before you move oop north, do not, for one second underestimate how utterly utterly tulipE the weather/climate is.
If (like me) you are a southerner born and bred, the incredible range or weather which combines on any given day:
1. Torrential rain
2. Howling gale force winds
3. Bloody cold temperatures
4. Five foot deep snow from October to March
Was the clincher for me. I ain't living up here any longer! tulipe is not the word!

Originally posted by DaveB View PostLeeds, Newcastle, Manchester, Sheffield, Preston, York. Ther are jobs, but nothing like as many down south and they dont pay as well. On the other hand there are fewer people competing for them and cost of living is lower up here.
Currently going into a 6 month extension of the current gig Oop North.
