I can't move out of London because I can't just eat Tesco food. I just can't. I need efnik
Birmingham is the only other city i could put up with, though they tell me Manchester is viable.
Glasgow i like but efnik = Indian over there

No kids to consider, and the wife likes fish and chips as much as any Yorkshireperson. Besides, there's bound to be a decent kebab place nearby.Armitage_Shankburn wrote:If your other half is Cypriot, and kids are half Cypriot, I would certainly consider somewhere within striking distance of north London like Green Lanes. Plenty of cheaper places in Edmonton, Barnet, or further out. It's one thing to move to a foreign country, it's another to go without a certain type of bread, yoghurt, baklava, ktayef, etc. There are other enclaves but that's the main one i know about.

My Mum lives in Elland but the trouble with the neighbouring places is thar they're a littel to far to walk back from The Victorian.An interesting shout. I live just down the road and worked in Halifax for a few years. It's a bit of a dump I think. The Piece Hall is a nice improvement to the town. Great gig venue in the right weather, but a tourist attraction by day pretty much. Plenty of really run down areas. The parts around the park are nice and the park itself is great. It's the kind of town that doesn't offer either the benefits of a big City or the benefits of a small town. I'd be looking at areas outside of Halifax in the Upper Calder Valley. Luddenden for example is just outside.Just to make sure you'll look at Halifax properly I'll try and sell it some more. I don't live there but I will when the boy grows up. Great links to Leeds or Manchester. All the nice Yorkshire and Lancashire stuff isn't far away and a direct train to London if you need it. Cheap for a reasonable old stone house. Great views of the surrounding Calder Valley. Friendly and full of Northern charm. Village feel but great pubs and places to eat. Wonderful Victorian market bang in the middle - although not as good as Kirkgate in Leeds. The Peace Hall - google it.
