  I'll get flamed badly for this, but if those are your criteria you could do a whole hell of a lot worse than Glasgow.

  I'm not even going to justify that cos the I can already hear the vultures circling, look into it yourself ;)

  • really?? Have you been there on a Friday or Saturday night? It one of the nine cirlces of hell.– Wolfboy1/7

    i was having dinner at a pal's house, so i didn't see the outside world. i like the bridges!– paraselene2/7

    but it can't be any worse than the friday night i went to glasgow station. scary!– paraselene3/7

    At least Glasgow people will have some banter while they're mugging you.– Jnr_Madison4/7

    Edinburgh people will look down their noses while mugging you.– Jnr_Madison5/7

  Oxford for greenery, London for depravity.

  And for the record, there is no civilisation north of Oxford.

  Paraselene's not wrong. If you're wanting a taste of Britain beyond London, you'd be hard-pushed to do better than Newcastle. It's quite a studenty city, so there's a polyglot of different nations, it has a lot of cultural money sloshing around (so lots of galleries, museums etc) and a definite tech streak which is good if you're a webnik. It's only the smallest jump from the real countryside (Northumberland is one of England's most unspoiled and beautiful counties, filled with castles and beaches) and Scotland. It's got good ferry and air links to the continent - and best of all - it's Northern. All that your fellow countryfolk revile in England comes from the South - all the snobbery, effetism and arrogance - they're all Southern traits*.

  When I was at uni there it was voted the 8th party capital of the World in some international survey - see, it can get a bit chilly up there in Winter, so everyone goes underground to party and warm up. It's a main stop for concert tours, etc.

  *damned French :P

  • but then you could say that same stuff of quite a lot of northern cities - theres a whole country outside of london– kelpie1/8

    No, you could.
    
    I wouldn't.– detritus2/8

    That failed to be funny.
    I can only speak from experience. Leeds is ok too, I guess.. but that's it for me.– detritus3/8

    I don't like Manchester, I loathe Liverpool, York's too middle class - any further south and we're in France.– detritus4/8

    I'd do Glasgow or Edinburgh. The latter more likely as I'm a big jessy.– detritus5/8

    aye aye, mine was more a general point - I know people who live in manchester who would say the same things...– kelpie6/8

    ...but still there seems to be a lag between how far these places have come on and the perception...– kelpie7/8

    ...both down South, and abroad. imo.– kelpie8/8
