His Divine Shadow posted:Also near to the sea, 8km or so. Went to the marina on sunday, beaches (not pictured, further away) and ice cream, prior to going home and making strawberry jam, the 2nd most socialist jam, the most socialist jam is lingonberry. Happily this is generally the case wherever you are in the UK. You have to go out of your way to avoid the coast.

Luton is good. It got voted the UK's shittest town in some poll or another but I don't buy that. I used to go to the library, the Namco arcade (where you win those little red slips that get you nothing worth having unless you save them up for a decade) and the cinema all in a row as I child and it was great. Haven't been back in a few years so don't know what it's like now, heard they changed the name of the Arndale centre to the The Mall which is a spectacularly poo poo idea but I'm sure it still holds that old Arndale magic. Luton truly was the town of dreams. It's better than Bedford.

SteelMentor posted:Tyneside is absolute trash and I hope I get this job I sent off for as there's no way Nottingham can be as bad/worse. As somebody from Newcastle I agree completely. There are precisely 2 nice parts of Tyneside - Central Newcastle/Quayside and Tynemouth (during the day at least)

Okay, my boycott has a bit more substance now than "hmm, the manager looks uncomfortable when I sing 'if The Pope won't get you then Theresa May'"

I went to Nottingham recently and the trams were magnificent - fast, clean and cheap. Manchester has its good points, but I grew up in a large village down south and that's where I'm happiest.

TACD posted:Here's what I reckon: Sheffield is a pretty nice place to live 👍 I left in Sheffield for 6 months, during which there were 2 police raids on my street where large stockpiles of guns were found. Which was a bit odd because it generally was quite nice and I certainly never felt threatened or in danger or anything like that in my time there.

Karloff posted:Luton is good. High praise indeed . His Divine Shadow posted:Right now I live in a small town on the west coast of Finland and genuinely think there's no better place on earth. I'd say the same about North Norway if it weren't for the price of beer. To give an idea, last time I flew to the UK I had a drink in Stansted and was shocked by how cheap my pint was there.

Unless you were talking about Theresa May  Lord of the Llamas posted:One of my mates went to Norway for work and reported back that one pint he bought was equivalent to sixteen pounds! I like to think there's a running Norwegian joke where they say 'your round' to a visitor and then watch their face at the bar

Lord of the Llamas posted:One of my mates went to Norway for work and reported back that one pint he bought was equivalent to sixteen pounds! That's high but definitely plausible. A cheap "pint" (think it's actual a little less than 500ml) of standard lager here is 75kr, just under £7.50. You can expect 90+ at nice bars or clubs, 120-140 for craft beers. Even a tinny from the supermarket will run you 30-40kr.  baka kaba posted:

That's why I said during the day! Baron Corbyn posted:If it helps make up your mind, Hull is the capital of sexual adventure. I went down to Hull recently too and was genuinely surprised at how nice it was, after an entire lifetime of it being the go-to punchline for every 'poo poo northern town' joke. They've obviously had a lot of money thrown at them thanks to the whole city of culture thing.

As soon as the horizon goes flat, it's The South. So, like, bottom of the moors, or presumably somewhere down the arse end of Wales if you go over the pennines first.

It's pretty simple, everywhere north of Exeter is The North, everywhere south of Crianlarich is The South.

I have an unfair opinion of Scarborough, maybe, but that's mainly because my wonderful old mum used to make me take part in talent contests at off-brand Butlins-type places and I won a free holiday to the national finals. In Scarborough. In October/November. My step-dad-at-the-time got shingles, iirc. Probably not Scarborough's fault.

Anywhere that uses 'Northerners' as a blanket term of derision is the South. Anywhere that uses 'Southerners' as a blanket term of derision is the North. Anywhere that uses both is the Midlands.

Anywhere claiming to be "British Capital of Culture" is pathetic. It's like being the best branch of Little Chef.
