    She's been desperate to bin London for years so she's fully onboard. Maybe we will return when a fully independent Scotland is formed...

    I don't mind London at all but I've never really felt I could raise a family here. I think because I've always rented it's felt temporary.

    Our mild-mannered drivers are one of the best things about this country. Pretty much anywhere else you go it's red blooded aggression.

    London has some awful drivers (foreigners, innit), but elsewhere everyone has been fine.

    And it definitely isn't the kind of place you can settle. I'm seeing more and more people move to the likes of Sheffield and Leeds in recent years. I always had them pegged as shitholes, but apparently not. The North will rise again.

    Absolutely not true whatsoever. Youre third behind Italians and French in absolutely insane fucking drivers.

    Brother I have more than enough mental issues that PTSD ranking outside the top 10 isnt a shocker before even factoring in the 5 times I’ve been robbed in my life.

    Leeds is excellent and would give a good account of itself in any second city contest. I'm not sure about Sheffield. It might just be cheaper enough to balance it out.

    Leeds is banging. I've always thought big city's outside of London are more or less the same until I spent some time in Leeds. If you want to live in a big city but can't deal with London it would be my pick.

    The problem with London is that everyone thinks they're something.

    North of the river, anyway. South of the river is magnificent.

    First day back after 2 weeks off and a course I signed up for ages ago started today at 9:30, which I was completely unaware of and obviously done no “pre-reading.” So now I’m on a zoom thingy from 9:30-1:30 while 300+ unread emails sit in my inbox, with my out of office previously promising I’m back today. I am not.

    I got an email this morning from a Frenchman that said simply this:

    'Bonjour

    Je suis furieux.

    Merci
    Mathieu'

    Never had greater affirmation that I'm doing my job in life.

    Just been offered some overtime because they need someone to go and see someone that can only be seen at weekends... in fucking Jaywick. Yeah, fuck off love.

    We don't even have anything to do with the place so no idea what they want someone over there for.

    When someone posts a town name on here that I don't know, I often do a Streetview into a random street there just to get a feel for the place.

    Someone I used to work with, who has moved to a different team, is confused about whether one of her new male colleagues is straight or not. The confusion has arose because she thinks he likes her, but also recently went to a cat cafe.

    Said male colleague also recently went on a stag do and the stag tried to kill himself by jumping out of a window. Obviously I laughed at this, but she’s practically in meltdown on his behalf for how “dead bad” it must have been for everyone involved.

    Who needs work when there’s MSN Teams drama to keep you occupied.
