In defence of the places that aren't London and Dublin, there are some great cities/towns which aren't full of inwards looking EDL supporting ****s, places like York, Worcester, Newcastle, Harrogate and most cities on the South Coast are really nice from my experience and the people I've encountered there have all seemed pretty friendly, certainly a lot friendlier than the twats who inhabit London who aren't just inward looking, but self-obsessed.
Yeah I know I was generalising. I quite like Brighton, very bohemian and there are a few southern coastal towns such as Weymouth etc I've visited which were lovely. I'm sure there are a few great northern towns as well but I've only been to Manchester which isn't much better than Belfast. But I do tend to like the urban multi cultural backdrops with good social scenes. I get sick very quickly of having the same type of people around me all the time (as in Guerns) - meeting lots of different people who grew up in different backgrounds and have ended up travelling for different reasons makes for much more interesting nights in the pub.
