Oh, wait, that would be the McDonnalds papers.

Eugh.

Birmingham is pretty much as bad. Except bigger. I wouldn't want to be out on the streets on a night on my own!

It's a dump. A big smelly putrid pile of poo. (And as if the situation could get any worse, it's populated by Brummies!). Their only redeeming featur is the fact that they have nice accents! :P

I suppose it depends what you want out of a country, if you want to learn how to steal cars, I'd recommend Liverpool! :P

And if you want to learn about protection money, joy-riding and knee capping try Northern Ireland:thumbsup: I'll be brushing up on my skills when I go there for Christmas!

A friend of mine use to be a cop in Liverpool. He had his car stolen.

So far I haven't seen a good argument for going.

For sure!

There have been two cops shot in N. Ireland in the last couple of weeks, and it aint a big place!!

I'd probably end up in a place where they speak like me.

Is there anywhere where the accent is like Canada?

Well, like I said I'm not actually planning to move.

But for the sake of the thread, I really liked Leeds when we were there.

And Birmingham. Yes, Birmingham.

I have no idea what a lot would be as far as earnings.

West End of Glasgow. Never seen so many Roots sweatshirts outside a Roots shop as I did in any given pub on Byres Rd. Remember the "Caribou House" Tim Horton's ad? They weren't joking, there must have been a good few flats like that.

Not sure why, Glasgow Uni must give cheap fees or something.

I was right behind your move to the UK but you lost me at Leeds or Birmingham :blink:
