Well according to Ginge and Conor, no they supposed to all be in the north
because that's where everyone wants to live.

Bad luck :( At least you decided to not buy the new bike so one less thing

Nothing doing in M3/M4 corridorsville? Mind you, if you're going to work
there you might as well go the whole hog and work in town.

funny - when I was looking earlier this year, almost all the jobs I
was suitable for were in the North West.

>and there's even less there than in the Midlands.
remember: working in London <> living in London. Depending on where
the job is in London, you can live pretty far out - I know several
people who commute from places like Brighton and Eastbourne into
London.

Do something else for a living then. Seriously mate if you want to

This is something I've been considering but can't work out all that many

I'm not ever going back unless someone offers me a truly ludicrous sum
of money with which I could buy a posh place close to the city centre.
And that, let's face it, is on a likelihood path that sees me made Pope,
then England football manager, first.

Yeah, I've been through the same. Four nightmare jobs one after the
other just jumping for whatever came my way - unfortunately in my case
I also took a salary cut with each jump until it's now reached the
point where my P60 for this year has a lower gross figure than my P60
for the year I graduated!

Go and do a vertical access course then do some high altitude
tree hugging. Once you've done the VA you can do an offshore
survival course and work on rigs earning not as much money as
everyone believes.

We differ in many many ways. For instance, I don't use the word 'then' to
mean 'than', which gives your posts a kind of ridiculous SA accent.

Really? Mate worked near Exeter and said it was hideously expensive -

Is that in Exeter or way out in the sticks?
