anzo Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Seems to be quite a few vids on youtube recently with BNP members clashing with police and anti BNP protestors in the high street, is this common?If you're referring to Nottingham, that was the English Defence League, not the BNP But generally, it is common - but it's common in just about every place...look at the Leeds, Bradford and Birmingham riots - although most of the 'rioters' there don't actually come from the places they're destroying; why would you shit on your own doorstep?

Anything from Shropshire down is good stuff.the southwest does have everythingBeaches to surfCities to shop, ride and partyHills to ride and walk'Proper' country pubsSure, like anywhere there are some pretty crap places; areas of Bristol, Bridgwater etcBut you are never more than half an hour to an hour from beautiful rolling hills and some stunning coastline Edited December 7, 2009 by kyddie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.KYDD Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Why did you think that would change my mind? I just think its a bit narrow minded to presume you have everything, when there are so many limitations in the city and so little really available.I mean really, dont you ever get bored of grey?

Luke Rainbird Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 If I were to stay in the UK, I can't see myself ever moving from the South West. Through the summer there's nowhere else I'd want to be - sun out, roll out of bed onto the beach. Swim home, go for a ride at one of the infinitely many amazing spots this way. Back for a BBQ on the beach into the night before a night out in an abundance of places with great nightlife where I'm not going to get shot/stabbed like anyone north of the M4.

Don't get that in Leeds Just to prove a point, this was taken by my 13 year old brother on a POS phone last year on the hill behind my house. Bog standard el-cheapo phone settings etc so don't think it's down to any of that jiggery-pokery/knowing shit like those photographers seem to these days:For comparison, here's a photo he took on a really good camera in the north (and then tweaked a tad as there wasn't a lot of sunlight there so the exposure or some crap was out): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

totaltrials Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Up North is just as grim as the rest of the UK.I'm from Liverpool, and I still think it's the best city I've been to and I've been to most of the major cities in England. Every city has scum, murderers, rapists, peados, Priests. But every other city I go to there always seems to be A LOT more of the type of people I wouldn't particularly want to walk past on a dark lonely street. The closest city I've been to that resembles Liverpool and the people here is Newcastle.Personally I think the Midlands is the worst part of the country. Some of the very southern cities are good, like Exeter, Plymouth, Bournemouth.If I were to stay in the UK, I can't see myself ever moving from the South West. Through the summer there's nowhere else I'd want to be - sun out, roll out of bed onto the beach. Swim home, go for a ride at one of the infinitely many amazing spots this way. Back for a BBQ on the beach into the night before a night out in an abundance of places with great nightlife where I'm not going to get shot/stabbed like anyone north of the M4. Jammy f**ker.

There is a lot of countryside in the North, some of the most beautiful in the UK. I went to a motorcycle trials event in North Yorkshire - it was an amazing view there.
