I got the joke. Best thing about Frankly is the M&S - get in, grab a coronation chicken sarnie and some sausage rolls and get the hell out of there!
Oi! Halifax is dead nice. I prefer living here rather than the 22 years I spent living in York. As someone said above about Sheffield, Halifax has all that but a shorter walk into the centre and better riding 😉
Derby is very well located for transport and riding. It lacks decent restaurants apart from curry houses and the clubs are rubbish, but it is easy to go for a night out in Nottingham.
Culture wise Derby is not too bad there is a good independent cinema as well as large showcase cinema and two theatres. In the city centre there is a large modern shopping centre. If you are used to waitrose there isn't one. Derby also has decent city parks. One thing I would say is that location in the city is important.
Sheffield is a good choice if you don't mind being in the north and a bigger city.
In the last 20 years I've lived in 16 different places (most in the UK) and worked in 17 different countries. Bristol was the stand-out best of them all. It has arts, culture, food, beer, sports, festivals, events, local identity, diversity of every kind, good access to the rest of the UK etc etc.
The grass isn't greener, it's just a different shade of green.
Edited to add - the people I met there really made it.
I'm not keen on big cities myself. Miserable anonymous places at times and nightmare with traffic and expensive to live
I live in Surrey
Huh?
Depends on which part of Surrey...
Surrey Hills, good.
Surrey Quays, not so good.
Swansea.
Once you get past the weather (it rains here everyday pretty much), the lack of good jobs, the chavs, the druggies, the drunks, the violence, the crime, the grayness, the utter-shit city centre, poor public transport, millions of traffic lights, lack of music venue, etc etc it's a brilliant place to live 🙂
Oh and some of the best riding in the world on your doorstep. 🙂
I've narrowed it down to either Cardiff or Manchester what do you think?

I think you like cars as much as you like bikes and its a bit weird how youve recently joined both camps to ask the same question
