Did anyone read the interesting report in the daily Mail on the cost of living difference betreen the south & north?Its now wonder all you southerners are charging a fortune to clean carpets, from what I could see if you earn £80k in the south east you could have the same lifestyle for £50 in the north.
You may think that this has little to do with carpet cleaning but I was thinking down south it must be easier for you to part with £4000 for the fast track programme because its only like a couple of months morgage
the same with a truckmount. Has any of you moved from the north and found it hard?
My measly earnings don't look that bad now I know down south you can't buy a pint for half a crown

The North?...where's that then
In fact I think I went there once...
It was closed
Actually lived in Blackpool for 14 years, much better down here, sunnier for a start.

Hi MikeYou are party right about the north south divides, ever time I go north of the river it cost me more in fags and diesel and I make sure I take my passport so the let me back in the South (joke) don’t worry the customers in the SE are as frugal as the North

About 15 years ago I had a well paid job in the South.I was offered promotion to Newcastle.
Although I was paid more I should have stayed in the South as House price inflation was far in excess of any extra money I was earning.
However if you stay in the North and earn good money you can have a good standard of living.
However Mike I remember reading that you had made so much money you do not know what to do with it.
