    Life in the UK?

    So I am contemplating going back home to the UK after I marry my fiancee. I haven't lived there since I was 7 or so. What's it like these days? Is it expensive? Average wage? What are some of the best cities to live in (safety etc)? Which have good public transport etc. I'd be grateful for any input! Thanks.

    North Yorkshire. safe as Metal Balls! Army college keeps all those hooligans in line!

    or

    find Vintage and evict him
    Wales is an awesome place to live, countryside for the WIN!! i went on walks all the time when i was younger.

    Avoid London. BITCHING PLACE TO LIVE!


    North Yorkshire is one of the more affluent areas in the UK so wages and prices are set accordingly.

    Wales is just EPIC!

    Congratulations on getting Married btw, best of wishes for your new life!

    Depends what you want and need really. Average house price accross the UK is about 150k but that's including the one bed flats in north Scotland. If you wanted to live in and around London you are going to need at least 300k for a house.

    Getting a job might be hard, they are there but very competitive. I'd try and make sure either you or you wife has a job before you move back over.

    Hmmm, yeah I should put a profile on jobs.co.uk, see what's on offer and what's needed. I'm not sure if we'd go to London right away, well, I'm not sure of anything at the moment lol. Thanks for the input.

    If you appreciate historic surroundings, York is a very nice city. Due to its location it also has a main train line to London, Leeds, Manchester, and up to Scotland.

    LOL animal incest.

    South is expensive.
    North is cheaper.
    Trains are shite and litterally cost an arm and a leg.

    To be honest I'm not really fussed about what I'll do when I get there, I just want us to have work and an apartment. I wouldn't mind resuming my security career abit while I'm there though. I've had experience in a few different sectors of the industry and wouldn't mind expanding...Well, it'd only be for 3-4 years until my fiancee gets british citizenship, then we will come back to Vienna (city is so fucking badass in every way ).

    Being able to teach english in Austria is like panning for gold. So many people will pay you decent money in hand for your native tounge and english training. I will miss having these opportunities.

    Oh Ghost, every new post about you makes you more interesting. I think you're this guy in disguise.

    Don't worry. You'll land back on them once you meet me. The reality is no match for the legend, I'm afraid.
