    City Centre is nice - I live there

    Didsbury, Wilmslow, Lymm (although it's a bit far out) -

    Loads of places .......

        Ladies and gents, this is what's known as a "contradiction in terms".

          Is your contract North, South, East or West of the city?

          How much time do you want to spend travelling to/from the Client Site?

            Hopefully not in the shadow of that new Hilton hotel building, that's wider at the top than at the bottom! I'd have nightmares about it toppling on me.

            Also, if you live in an apartment block, do you bother with curtains.

            If I was working in the centre, I'd certainly prefer to live in the centre too. Shame so many vacancies seem to be on the outskirts (Altrincham, Wilmslow ) where you've got the M60 car park to worry about.

                You didn't pass your spelling test though, did you?
