Scott Gibbs Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Gotta admit even being a southerner I love going to Liverpool. It's a great place, loads of shops phenomenal night life regardless of what music you're into and the people seem really friendly (for the most part)!!

Jsg070709 Posted August 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 He said best, not cheap. Best is south of the most southern point of the M25. Are you referring to Chiltern? Cos the houses are seriously expensive. Although 500 grand for that kinda house is damn worth the money compared to the houses in my country.Leeds everytime. Infact anywhere up north apart from Manchester for me Leeds looks good. Loads of shops. My gf's idea of heaven.I've always liked Bristol. My gf says Bristol is dangerous after she watched skins. LOL. Is that true? Gotta admit even being a southerner I love going to Liverpool. It's a great place, loads of shops phenomenal night life regardless of what music you're into and the people seem really friendly (for the most part)!! I think Liverpool might be a little problem because of the accent, is John Bishop. Find it a little hard to understand him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 It depends what to you classes as "best". Cheap? Night life? Adventures? Scenery? I'm from Leeds and as you can probably tell, I f**king love it haha. It has hundreds of shops, the nightlife has lots and lots to offer. There are loads of pubs, SO many food options.The girls are ridiculously fit, just something about them, not chavvy like wakefield or sheffield etc. The uni is excellent (there are 3 but the Uni Of is decent). And you're in Yorkshire, meaning you're only a train journey away from visiting some f**king epic scenery. It's fairly cheap to live there too, if you house share you can get a banging deal. I know people will disagree with some of the stuff i've said but that's just my two pence and what i've picked up over the 22 years I've lived here. Not that I was going out when I was 3 or anything haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie_Trials Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Yorkshire Yorkshire Yorkshire, coal coal coal. Come tu't national coal mining museum yea Ilkley moor bar t'at. I love a good yorkshire pudding in Leeds. Come t'ut market and get 4 sacks of coal for a fiver. 4 sacks a coal buy one get one free. Nightlife is good too. You wake up, have a bit of breakfast (Yorkshire puddings and coal). Get on't northern rail and you're down't pit for about 6 in't morning. have a few hours ard graft and before you know it it's clock of dawn. Come out, you never see't light of day I tell thee lad. Leeds is nice. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Gibbs Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 It's not that bad my GF is from the Wirral which is the other side of the Mersey and I had no problem with it when I first went there. But then again I'm from the North east of Scotland and their accent is really strong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotchy Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Anywhere in the county of Yorkshire! Specifically, Sheffield, IMO its the perfect balance between Leeds and Manchester. Its got awesome night life because of the Universities, its got pretty decent street, its really nice, its the greenest city in the UK, its right next to the peak district. Loads of shops, got meadowhall shopping centre, and then the main high street, everyone's dead friendly, apart from the odd nob, but everywhere has them, and Sheffield has a considerable amount less than anywhere else I've been. And. Its got no southern city pansies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 If you were worried about understanding the Liverpudlian accent, you might struggle with some parts of Yorkshire too. Taking card details over the phone from proper Yorkshire comp dads was a mission. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.Wood Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 So once again it depends on what you're after. South west for me, I lived in London for 18 years but the SW has more of what I'm after. I've travelled to and spent time in most parts of the uk and still prefer the south west, but I've only lived in London, Plymouth and Exeter so can only give proper opinions on those 3.
