it's just that people form the North tend to nice, easy going people whereas people from the South tend to be full off p1ss, wind and bullsh1t. (not that i'm generalising of course)

Your non-generalisation doesn't seem to fit in with reality unfortunately.

Southerners seem to be chavs, toffs or foreigners.

Park Avenue,

I think it's normal to move back in with your parents after graduation. Most of the people that grow up where I live do that, because rent is so high. I have never done it, even though rent takes a big chunk of my money, but that's what I pay for the additional cost of being on my own.

I say go for it, especially if it's only temporary.

Once I'd moved out I could never have moved back. I get on well with my Dad but I'd have to kill him if we lived togther.

Northeners are really agreeable - unless your southern in which case you're treated like sh1t.

Not our fault we've got all the money and jobs.

I'll use this opportunity to simultaneusly give you advice, and quote a musical that I don't really like.

"Open a new window, open a new door, travel a new highway that's never been tried before. Before you find you're a dull fellow, punching the same clock! Walking the same tight rope as everyone on the block. The fellow you ought to be is three dimensional! Soaking up life!....." -Mame

I've been in Leeds almost a year now and the job is fine, the people there are great and it's well paid (£1k pay rise next month!).

But the city is pretty crappy..my apartment block be noisy at times, there's a lack of decent nights out for music I like, and I'm paying over half of my salary in tax or rent. And what puts a cap on it is although I enjoy my work, the office is dreadfully overheated (usually 24c (75F) but yesterday got to 27c (81F)). I can't stand heat like that when you're just sat there festering in your own sweat. We have air conditioning too - work that one out.

Now there's a job advertised in Manchester, £15.5k so a bit of a pay cut, but the cut is less than the rent I'm paying at the moment in Leeds. But one catch, it means moving back to live with my parents for a bit. After a year on my own, not sure what that would be like!

So...stick with it in Leeds or start applying for jobs around here..hmmm! Opinions?
