[Closed] Should I move for a 1 year job secondment?

I think you're getting hung up on the accommodation costs, yes it may seem expensive compared to north Wales but there are quite a few people living in London on pretty normal money.

You can find stuff for much cheaper too but you sound fussy...

its only for a year... suck it and see.

But I know where I would go. How much is a pint in Llamberis? and in Soho?

have you been to London? i'd do anything i could to avoid visiting let alone live there

Yeah, of course you would, you'd never come here,ever, eh?

What an utter hypocrite.

i base my opinions on actual experience, unlike others on here you twit. if you are an example of the type of person Sue W will meet i'd advise her to run in the opposite direction quickly, again this is based on experience, only on STW though seeing as you usually bang on about how you're the same on here as in real life

You've never met me. Sue has. She knows me, you don't. How about that, eh? 😆

Please be quiet now you're just embarrassing youself. 🙄

is that the best retort you can come up with?, you've fallen even lower in my estimation now

we met at the first BBB, but i gave you the benefit of the doubt then

Yes

we met at the first BBB

So you have said before.

I, however do not recall such a meeting, and think it's possible you may well have seen me and been in complete awe, but are sadly too bland and inconsequential for me to remember. Sorry, but that's how it is. 😐

So, unless you have something constructive to say other than the negative ignorant crap you usually come out with, please be quiet. I'm sure Sue does not in any way want or appreciate such unhelpful negativity.

Thanks.

Probably cheap in North Wales, but there is a nice same smiths pub (Jon Snow) in Soho, but I'm now living on Hampshire / Dorset boarder and am finding the beer as expensive and sometimes more than the pubs in London.

London, whilst [i]sometimes[/i] expensive, does at least have a veritable cornucopia of food and drink on offer. And day to day living apart from accommodation costs needunt cost any more than anywhere else in the UK really. A bit of foraging about will unearth some proper good eateries which won't cost a small mortgage.

If you really want to spend money though, guaranteed you will find somewhere willing to relieve you of all your hard-earned. It's a myth that London is universally expensive though. Trust me; I'm proper potto yet still manage to have a good time. 😀

I'd go for the East End (although it's gone posh since I left)

😮 Fear not for I am still keeping it suitably scrotey and scummy. 😀

If its the cost of living, put a case together and ask your company if they'd be willing to meet you half-way?

Or tbh since they can expense it (relocation up to 2 years), ask for the lot.

FWIW I thought ARTs post was genuinley thoughtful and informative about stuff I don't know before it descended into the usual crap.

But where I taking a Job in London I'd certainly be going for a job that pays a bit more (am self employed at the moment, so stuff's a bit different) and would appreciate that part of what I'm paying for is being within a tube ride of many good things (be it clubs, cinemas, shops or massive metropolitan parks.)
