So i've resigned to my fate- there are no teaching jobs in Scotland. But there are bleeding hundreds in Engerland. So I want to move to get me a job. But being the ignorant Scot I am, I know nothing about 'down south'.
Where in the country is nice, with nice people who don't want to stab people with funny accents? I'll literally move anywhere I can find a job, and the aforementioned stabbing avoidance must be adhered to. I'm not a massive fan of the big cities so I'l happy being rural.
Recommend me a place to move and spend the rest of my life. Lowish house prices would be nice, and I don't want stabbed!
-
Your fear of stabbing rules out London, Birmingham, Manchester and Liverpool. Unfortunately probably rules out Bristol too, which is my favourite of the southern cities. House prices aren't the lowest on the M4 corridor, but there are plenty of teaching jobs and low stabbing probability. Oxford's OK but not cheap and crawling with students and tourists.
-
I can recommend the north-east. We tend to get on better with you northern folk better than we do with those southern folk :) I live in Durham. That's got lots of villages & towns dotted around the county & (from where I live in north Durham) it's only about 25mins to Newcastle or Sunderland.
-
West Midlands? I'd like to live there someday.
Usually people get nicer the more north you go, or less south in your direction.

Its nice around here (here being Northamptonshire)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/tomr61/harringtonthangs/CIMG9888resized.jpg)
Not much to do if you dont like the countryside though (and the music scene is pretty dire)!
-
You're from Glasgow, right?
I'd avoid London, since your daily rude:friendly human encounter ratio will fly in the wrong direction.
I liked Birmingham a lot when I lived there, but I've never actually lived full time in another English city/town. Not a clue on what's good on the job front though.
-
I hope you find a job and a good place to go. I live in Sussex which is a wonderful place I think but like many places there is good and bad-my bit is pretty good otherwise I'd have gone years ago.I think cities anywhere these days are pretty grotty and I'd look for a nice market town. Don't disregard the South, we are not all unfriendly self centred money mad p*ssheads that we are often portrayed as being.
-
Richmond North Yorkshire. That's nice.
-
take a look at york.. thats a beautiful place to live! :)
-
I live on the south coast (Southampton). This is not a bad area to live, the New Forest is close at hand, although living in a more rural area is considered a luxury down here and therefore costs money. Bournmouth and Winchester are ok too. I don't subscibe to football rivalry, but I don't like Portsmouth that much, although I'm sure it has it's nice bits.
London is only 70 miles away, which is good for day trips.
I'm not sure on the northern mortality rate, but I'm not aware of any particular hatred. Of course if may just be that all northerners are dead before they get down this far... :)
Oh, and the climate is a little warmer too.
-
I've lived all along the south, and my favourite place has definately been Plymouth (and the whole of Devon and Cornwall actually). The whole pace of life is just a bit slower, and rather more "people-orientated". I found people really friendly. The scenery and coastline is outstanding, and of course there's the surfing, and the mild winters etc, etc.
-
All of these places sound fantastic guys, thanks a lot. I'll draw up a big list and find some jobs in the area.
nfe- yeah i'm from glasgow, think i saw your hairy self wandering about the city centre on sunday. As for Birmingham, I hate the place! Sorry to brummies on the board, spent a lot of time there with my girlfriend and really didn't get on with the place. Hence my desire for somewhere smaller and slightly rural.
-
take a look at york.. thats a beautiful place to live! :)
As with any city, York's got a fair share of rough areas of it's own tho... Tang Hall springs to mind. My gf's friend got bricked in the face by a bunch of chavs one day :( But yeah in general it's a nice city.
North Yorkshire is nice if you like rural as some guys have said. Richmond, Pickering, Whitby etc. North York Moors is absolutely gorgeous. Anywhere in Dales is nice but probably too rural unless you want Last of Summer Wine kinda life!
Around my area, Otley and Ilkley are pretty nice as well as lots of small towns/villages around Leeds. Anywhere that ends in ---ley tend to be nice lol.
-
+1 to Tom's suggestion.
I could be classed as nearby :P and it is quite a nice area
Milton Keynes private schools aren't too bad (not personal experience) and the MK house prices are actually reasonable considering the area.
-
South East is a good option. Hertfordshire is fairly un-stabby, apart from Luton of course.
-
I wrote a nice long post here and then got kicked off the server so it didn't post :? :(
Anyway here's a shortened version:
My bro lives in Herefordshire which is absolutely stunning. I went out in Hereford once and it was full of stunning women.
Infact most of the shire counties are nice.
If I could live anywherein England, then I'd live in Cornwall, but it would be a bloody long way back to visit Scotland.
-
London - anywhere else is like living in the bad part of the 1970s.
-
I continue to live in London for two main reasons
1) Lots of gigs to go to
2) large population density = enough customers locally to establish & sustain a business
-
If I could live anywherein England, then I'd live in Cornwall, but it would be a bloody long way back to visit Scotland.
I never said i was bothered about coming back to visit, so that's not much of a consideration right now.
Thanks for the suggestions folks, as i guessed there are places that are nice but have dodgy areas, like everywhere I suppose. I'll keep you guys informed of what happens, might be getting a hairy neighbor with a funny accent and BKPs soon.
-
Maybe we could also suggest places to avoid ?
My votes would go to :-
Reading
Basingstoke
Woking
Southampton
Potsmouth
Swindon
IMO, all just dull, chracterless places (obvious apologies to anyone living there !)
-
was it science you teach? doesnt that mean you can go anywhere you want :)
our school is always short on science teachers who actually trained to teach science
-
Move to Russia or Ukraine. The crime rate is not as bad as what westerners think it is, and stabbings are relatively rare, although they do happen sometimes. Mostly you get shootings instead.
If crime really bothers you, move to Byelorus. Crime is quite rare there.
-

I'm a chemistry specialist, but checked and i can teach science gcse.
Places to avoid would be great!

Just out of interest Hamfist, have you ever actually been to Swindon?
-
Come to London, there's loads to do. There are a some really horrible bits but lots of nice bits as you venture towards the south west.
The horrible bits need you!
-

I live in SW London, and my bit is still pretty horrible.
Mind you, Wimbledon's SW too and I wouldn't mind living there, very nice!

Lovely place. Richmond, Putney there nice places. Good pubs, lovely women...ahh if only!
-
ok options
Jobs in Manchester liv out to NW or South (more expensive), North of manchester (Ramsbottom, Holcombe out rochdale side Todmorden)
Macclesfield
Leeds live out towards York or Harrogate
York
Nottingham live near Long eaton
Sheffield live out towards Pennines
Birmingham live out towards solihull
Hull - live near Beverly or Cottingham
Chester
Liverpool (and yes there are some very nice areas I just don't know them well enough to say which)
Durham
-
Just out of interest Hamfist, have you ever actually been to Swindon?
Haha, yes, and I knew I'd offend someone !
But, I'll admit if I had to live in one of the places I mentioned, and could choose, it would be Swindon ... there we go, there's a bit of an endorsement for the place.

My girlfriend is from Herefordshire :D
And the women are indeed stunning, haha.

I'm in that area (when @ Uni), it is quite nice but the prices are bloody crazy for me (being a student), lol..

As far as SW London is concerned, I lived in Tooting/Colliers Wood, Wimbledon Park (Yum!) and Wandsworth and never had any trouble at all. In fact other than some drunk bloke trying to start something by deliberately ramming into me on Charing Cross road I have never had any experience of violence there, and that includes going to Walthamstow to visit my mate.
Lancashire on the other hand, now there's a dodgy place. :|
-
Wandsworth borough is supposedly the safest borough in London, that's what the estate agent said to me, but I don't know if that's just a sales ploy :P
-
I'm seriously considering London. but it looks like the typical it's alright, except the rough bits, which are everywhere. Man this it hard, but I really can't wait to sort out a job, load up my little yaris and head south.

As much as I slag London, I've pals in Bishops Stortford and I reallyquite like it there, dunno if it really counts as London, but it's within commuting distance, so it kinda is, right? :lol:
I just hate the "I'm in a hurry and as such have no time for manners" vibe of the centre.

It's about 30 minutes down the M11 if you put your toe down. It is a nice place but it is next door to Stanstead Airport, but that can be a good thing. Hertfordshire and North Essex are lovely parts of the south east.
London can make you in a hurry a lot of the time, if you let it. Some do, some don't...so much! Paul Weller made good use of this observation in the Jam song Strange Town. The thing is once you start a life here it can be like that and you won't even notice after a while. It is a good place to live though, loads to do.

That beautifull beaches you saw (taking out Rio de Janeiro and perhaps more 3 or 4) don't have decent jobs... also travelling there isn't as cheap as you would think to us... And I hate hot wheater :? My city is half time gray and most time hot ¬¬

London is amazing... But I must admit its not for everyone.
Wouldn't worry about your Scottish accent. Scottish can be one of the most understandable accents I think.

The problem with London is that if you're a humble public servant then accomodation is going to eat the bulk of your income.

Hummm I always wished to know, how much is the usual rent thing??? How hard is find people who rent a room or something alike?
-
London is my least favourite place in the UK. It would be my personal hell to live there.
I know a lot of (mostly younger) folks love the cosmopolitan, exciting feel of the place, but for me it's all just rush, rush, rush, completely impersonal, with people all around trying to fleece you or rip you off for whatever they can.
If you value time, relationships and space then I'd stay away. And, no, I'm not criticising ANY individuals that live there, but am generalising about the place (which is what this thread is surely about, eh ?).
-
I think typical london rents circa £240 a week for 2 bed house to put into context similar in say Rochdale £80 a week. For teaching London allowance is circa £6000 which covers around £75 /week after tax so difference is around £80 week in pocket.

Jeez £240 a week? that's how much I pay a month!
-
I love London with all my heart.
North London is nicest imo, Muswell Hill/Highgate/Hampstead/Finchley/Hendon that whole area is lovely.
-
Well I've seen places from £400 a month, to £1000 a month or something crazy like that.

BUT, and it's not an irrelevant particular, brazilian girls are absolutely HOT! ;)
jokes apart i can understand you, italy and brazil have got very different problems (and social conditions) but i always feel like i'm living much worse than i could JUST FOR THE SAKE OF IT. italy has got a lot of awesome places, but it's a meager consolation when you see that the ONLY thing that actually works is the public health system... the rest is simply rubb*sh.
not entering the political topic...

I pay £400 a month for a 2 bedroom end of terrace cottage (old stoneworks cottage built in 1875) with a nice garden on the edge of a village. God bless Leicestershire, it might be flat as piss on a pate, but at least it's cheap.
-
Hey Dheim, at least you have a public health system, not even this we have :lol:
But I got reports that Italy is not that good for a while, probably because of this "pig" you show us :D
-
well, I'd offer some advice as to where to go...
BUT I'VE NEVER BEEN TO THE UK!!!!!
Ummm.......if you value your life stay away from Texas (people here just shoot each other at random!)
If you want some serious awesomeness....move to Japan!
Other than that, I can't wait to visit for Reading Festival '10 WOOT!!!!!

I love London with all my heart.

What's your point? You don't have to live in the shite parts :p
-
people tend to lump 'London' into one collective opinion - there are so many districts that you can have whatever type of life you want out of the place (from what I've seen anyway).
Kew Gardens is seriously nice AND you're close to Chandlers just 5 mins off the tube. Oh, and there's a Starbucks serving caramel fraps (Mmmm!!!) just beside the tube. St Johns Wood looks very quiet and leafy too.
I've probably named two very expensive areas of London to live in, but my point is that there ARE nice areas and it's not all hustle and bustle.
I will say though, I've never got into random conversations with strangers in London whereas you can easily strike up some banter with people in Newcastle at gigs or out on the piss. You dont get those simple gestures like a 'good morning' or whatever either - I like that aspect of living in a smaller city. Saying all that though, I do like London alot.
-
Live outside london and you can still get there in under 2 hrs from almost 2/3 of the country so when you need the bustle it's there.
For teaching London allowance is circa £6000 which covers around £75 /week after tax so difference is around £80 week in pocket.
And bar man? :(
For bar staff it is probably as easy to live near london as any where else the tips are higher and jobs easier to come by which somewhat compensates for the higher prices as long as you live off the best commuter routes which if your working bar hours is easier.
Other than that better in other big cities some bars and clubs like to recruit foreign staff as it fits their profile of being exotic. Sorry if I have made the wrong assumption from your handle Fernando :)
-
I'm not really exotic looking (said by europeans I met in my trip in London), in deed they stared at me with a "wtf" face when I said I was brazilian :lol:
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3366/3598480885_1ff4ab00b8.jpg?v=0)
And I got a portuguese nationality, what I think makes things easier...
Do you have idea how much is the weekly payment now a days at bar staff? I say bar staff because I only have experience in work in industry and don't intend to keep on this, so that would probably the kind of job I would be able to get in the beggining...

That North London isn't the nicest part, not by a long shot :roll:
Finchley has a serious Chav problem, Hendon is surrounded by some of the busiest roads in the Uk, M1, A1, A41 and the North Circ'
Hampstead has the worst School run 4x4 problem in the country, full of pretentious tossers.
SW London pisses over the North.
Muswell Hill is nice though. Highgate is too small.

Re: London.
Riddle me this. How can a country with so many caribbean islanders and africans not be able to come up with one reggae radio station? A billion reggae fiends and no decent irations.
In the middle of Babylon and all the radio seemed to play was Girls Aloud and mall rap.

I should think there is a reggae radio station somewhere. But I'm not going looking for it. :|
You could come and hang around in my neighbours' garden if you like reggae that much. :P

Well it's all subjective isn't it? This isn't about some "REP UR ENDZ" shite, christ. Hendon is a bit of a shitehole though. I live in Palmers Green which is absolutely lovely, going further north you have winchmore hill, also lovely, enfield town is alright, c--kfosters/whetstone/friern barnet are all a bit of a dump, but again, you don't need to live in these places.

I think the "point" of the "nice parts of N. London vs. shite parts of N. London" comments is just to say that it's not all the same. London's a funny place. You can have a lovely area that's just a stone's throw from a mini Beirut full of nutters and horrible old tower blocks. Which might be worth knowing for someone who's moving from another part of the country.
And it's stating the obvious, but it costs to live in the nice parts.

wtf is "REP UR ENDZ" when its at home?
Palmers Green = absolutely lovely? :?
Subjective? Not really no.
My original point was SW London, Richmond, Teddington ect. Go and have a look at the Thames down there and you will see what I mean.

-
:lol: The hat is at home...
Europeans I mean:
1) the people I met at english school in london (switzerlanders, italians, germans, czechs...)
2) people at the pub in london (WRC2007 England x France, the frenchs came to say "congrats" when England won the game)
3) people trying to speak with me in german/dutch in Amsterdam

you could easily be italian, i'd say... anyway the image we foreigners have got of brazil is the wild mixture of races that make those girls so damn hot (:haha:), but many brazilians look just like their european ancestors (including the multitude of nazi refugees... :)), so it's no surprise...

I've italian and portuguese ancestors, but it's from great-parents :)

They're was one I found I while ago, but i'm not sure if they're still broadcasting. There are a hell of a lot of pirate dance music stations.
Palmers Green is N13. As the crow flys, about 8 miles north of Shoreditch. Follow Green Lanes from Newington Green, Islington and you'll get there.
-
So the move idea progresses, just posted an application form to a school in Ipswich. Based it more on the school than the area, but from what I've seen that area looks nice. Shall keep you all updated, driving for an interview will be a little tricky.
-
Get a airplane man! :D
Remember being ridiculously cheat a abroad flight to close europeans country...
-
Suffolk is really nice. Not been to Ipswich which I hear mixed reports about (well, been to the Tesco on the outskirts to get some beer but that's as close as I got), but I like Suffolk a lot. Adnams is one of my favorite breweries too which is handy.
I can recommend The Sorrel Horse in Shotisham, The Ramsholt Arms in Ramsholt (oddly enough) and the chippy in Aldeburgh.
Might be heading down that way myself soon.

Development! I have an interview on Wednesday. Gotta be there for half 8, so an overnight is essential i think. Oh and I have to deliver a lesson about waves. Damn GCSE science, I love physics but got a lot of studying to do.

Come in for a cup of tea on the way back if you want. Dunno which way your going, but if driving then I'm not far from the M1/M6/M14 junction, which you're more than likely going to go past.

Thanks man, but I'll most likely be going straight back in the afternoon, got a busy day thurs/friday so need to be in bed sharpish. Thanks again, if i get the job you're getting a unwelcome guest at some point.

If you live in Suffolk, I'll be moving into your shed. :lol:
Looks like I'm going down there next month at some point.

So the move idea progresses, just posted an application form to a school in Ipswich. Based it more on the school than the area, but from what I've seen that area looks nice. Shall keep you all updated, driving for an interview will be a little tricky.
I'm late to this, but as you've mentioned Ipswich, here's my 2p ...
Norwich is way nicer than Ipswich. We live c15 miles out of Ipswich and c35 miles from Norwich, but go to Norwich far more often than Ipswich. Ipswich has grown hugely in the last 15 or so years - must be more than double the population that it was - hence its lost a lot of its original character and culture. It has its share of "problem" areas and hence "problem" schools too, so be careful where you go if you want to enjoy your teaching life.
