In the south people smile more

4 bed detached with integral garage and drive for 4 cars or windowless broom cupboard with damp on the walls

Couldn't afford the damp in the walls in London.

Better weather doen south. That is about it. The north beats it for everything else. Plus London is down south, that automatically makes the north better.

Yes but you neglected to mention that you'd be drinking those 8 pints by yourself in an empty pub with the occasional flat cap and whippet-equipped retiree showing their face.

You pay a premium for city life because it's busier and there's a lot more choice socially. Not everyone's cup of tea obviously but a lot of people do consider it worth it.

Every other city in the UK is a shiiithole compared to London. Srs.

I've lived in both so all there is here for me is to sit back and read.

No offence but I went to Leeds once and I thought the people genuinely looked uglier than people in London. Like legit.

I was born and raised in London, worked in the City. I also went to uni in Leeds and now live in Yorkshire. My kids are being raised in Yorkshire, my family live in London. I have business interests at both ends. People are people. I've come across the best and worst of humankind at both ends. No city in Britain compares with London. But the cliche about people in the north being friendlier is actually true in the sense that people are more courteous and talk to strangers more. London is far more multi cultural and that kind of thing just doesn't happen so much.

Financially, as an investor the yield is greater in London. But from a personal perspective the north has big advantages. I live in a 5 bed detached stone cottage, used to be a B&B, all bedrooms on suite, facking huge garden backing into green belt land, next door neighbour is 100 metres away, low crime area, brilliant schools etc. sour founded by beautiful countryside yet I can be in the City in 30 minutes easy, maybe less on a good day. The gaff cost me £340k. A property with all the above mentioned features near London would be 7 figures.

There's pro's & con's to both."

Ditto. Difference for me was moving to Wilmslow so didn't get any house price adabctage otehr than a far bigger garden and much cleaner air.

Quality of life I feel is better by far. 👍

North - uk
South - Australia.

North wins. End thread.

North is safer from terrorist attacks too.

😂😂😂

No argument.

, next door neighbour is 100 metres away

Poor family probably still get to hear your vile profanity

In the far north you can get a 4 bed semi for 90k but also pay over the odds for petrol

North-
You can get a seat on a train
You can actually get out of 2nd gear in your car
You can walk 20 yards down any street without being badgered for spare change

Poor family probably still get to hear your vile profanity
