Do we have anyone from Inverness here? I'm thinking of making a significant change in my life and following my dreams of living in the Highlands, curious if any goons can recommend living there. Work would be a concern obviously. Are the English generally welcome up there? I ask that cos my mum lived in North Wales for a bit and wasn't terribly welcome.

Whimsicalfuckery posted:Yes and I have lived in the highlands for most of my life, and I have never, ever heard of someone from england/wales/wherever being made to feel unwelcome. Inverness especially relies heavily on tourism and locals love to meet people from all over the world, it is an incredibly open and multicultural place. A lot of people who live and work here are english, and literally nobody cares or bats and eyelid, it's achingly normal. Great to hear, thank you!

Hentai Jihadist posted:I've only been visiting but I thought inverness was the least highlandsy bit of the highlands, its pretty much just like any small city. I thought a good compromise would be Fort William which is a small town thats extremely highlandsy and beautiful but still has shops and modern comforts. If i were going to live anywhere up there, I'd pick there, but like I say I've only visited, I think theres some highlands goons who could tell you better and probably tell me I'm wrong. Yeah I figured it'd be pretty similar to your average town/small city. But would have the advantage of being my best option for work, while still being close to the highlandsy highlands that I actually want. I'm not really sure yet what the best way to actually approach the move/job situation would be. Fort William looks amazing and even better located for my reasons for moving, and only a bit smaller than the town I live in now. I'd just worry about finding work cos I'm a worrier e: dangit

forkboy84 posted:I get not wanting to live in Inverness, I sure loving don't want to, but you're really not far from "proper Highlands". Especially if you drive you're looking at 15 minutes and your down the less visited eastern side of Loch Ness. Even if you don't drive you can jump on a train or bus and be in Aviemore sharpish. I read that Inverness gets near the top of those happiest places to live polls, no idea if those are really worth anything. Regardless though it'd be the sensible choice for me if I went through with the move. Thanks for the input people

God I love me some Corbs. It feels like we're on such a precipice at the moment, I'm hype but goddamn do the results of failure in this election look dark. On a tactical.vote note, I'm in Somerton and Frome, this was the 2017 and they suggest Lib Dem. It's pretty close between them and Lab - thoughts? I want to vote Labour obvs but there's not much promising info on the constituency website. Conservative 36,231 56.71% Liberal Democrat 13,325 20.86% Labour 10,998 17.21% Green 2,347 3.67% Independent 991 1.55% I left Facebook earlier this year, but while I was there almost no one on the local group had anything good to say about our landlord-MP, even those who hated Corbyn for whatever lazy reason.
