Best relocation areas in the UK?

Because, if we crash out of the EU with no deal, there is a possibility that there will be shortages of foods, medicines and fuel. The government's own papers (yellowhammer papers) confirm this.

Re: Best relocation areas in the UK?
Time is moving fast and we are now about 20+ days before Brexit and the resulting effects on the people in the UK and the many people planning a move. Hopefully folks are storing up on needed supplies just in case. I've heard Brits say they think the larger cities might be best prepared. Time will tell.

Re: Best relocation areas in the UK?
I don't think people need to become survivalists over Brexit. In a worst case scenario, the yellow papers said there may be a hold up in the supply chain across the Chanel which could lead to decrease or shorter supply of some fresh foods, leading to higher prices for these items. I'm not saying that there won't be any effect, but I don't think anyone's going to starve. Anyway, you can't stockpile fresh food unless you freeze it, and then it's not fresh. You also can't stockpile medicines.

My wife is still on a major high and can't wait till our December visit. Being there in winter will tell me how well I'll adjust to wet cold weather. Don't own a pair of long johns but I guest that is about to change.

Exactly how cold do you think it gets here?!? I have thermal underwear. I only ever wear it when I'm in skiing in the Alps.

Remember that nearly everywhere has central heating. So if you're out and about for the day/night, shopping theatre or whatever, you'll boil as soon as you get inside if you're wearing long johns. Layers are the way to go, something you can easily put on and take off.

Unless you're planning to camp in the great outdoors in the middle of winter, long johns are the last thing you need. I lived in the north of England for 3 years, even the coldest of days were effectively dealt with by wearing a coat with a hood and, on a few occasions, gloves..

I stand on the side of a rugby pitch for matches twice a week, and for 6+ hours watching my daughter compete on her horse, I’ve never felt as if I needed thermals. Maybe it’s a combination of my hardy northern blood and being in the sunny south that does it.

Took my Toronto born and bred SIL to Liverpool over the Christmas period a few years ago. He said he had never been so cold. It’s the damp that get you. In N America it gets bitterly cold but it is normally dry not damp like it is in the UK.

Things have obviously moved on a bit since I left.

Although horse rugby is quite inspired, I may suggest it.

Two different children, with two different passions. Both annoyingly involve spending ridiculous amounts of time outside and early starts, why on earth they couldn't take up water colour painting is beyond me.

Two points, if I may:
1) yellowroom is quite correct to point out the benefits of thermals; apart from attending sporting events as a spectator, they can be a welcome addition when waiting on exposed station platforms for extended periods of time.
2) Brighton on the other hand was Brilliant. This still has me Did you try to enter or leave by road or rail at peak times? Or on a Sunday as far as
I don't really have a downer on Brighton, but I find it overpriced, difficult to negotiate, and I'm convinced that there are many better locations out there.

Re: Best relocation areas in the UK?
Everything is relative. If cool or cold weather feels comfortable then thermal wear is seen as overkill. But if 60 degree tempts feel boarder line cold...…
At night in the UK, in only the month of September my family members wore jackets but we're use to Florida weather.
The test for me will be how wet are the winters. I can handle cold...kinda. but cold and wet is going to feel crazy!
