the North - south differance.
« on: November 07, 2003, 07:28:59 pm »
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 ;D  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 ;D

Actually lived in Blackpool for 14 years, much better down here, sunnier for a start.

Hi Mike

You 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.
