    Liverpool

    Possible gig coming up in Liverpool. Barring the obvious scouser comments anyone got and hints on living there, good spots, areas to avoid etc?

    From what I can see the city center is dirt cheap by comparason to a lot of other places in terms of accomodation. Is it worth living anywhere else in or around the city?

    Best to live in Manchester and commute over on a daily basis
    Coffee's for closers

      Why bother doing that?

      If I'm going to be working away I can't see the point in commuting as well, might as well live close to the client unless there is an overwhelming reason not to.

        Depends what you want. Bright lights, snazzy bars, etc., then Manchester's a must; quiet life, Southport (Birkdale, in particular, where some footballers live) is pretty nice and fairly close to De Pewel and cheap.

          It's hardly an overnight haul requiring a passport!

            Not looking for clubs, bars etc. To old for that malarky these days and the Mrs would get upset if she thought I was out on the lash every night

                I think he's winding you up !? It would be a pretty horrific commute.

                I'd go for City Centre if you are working there. There are loads of empty new build flats so haggle hard and you'll probably get a real bargain. Before plumping on accomo I'd check it out for noise in the evening.

                  No, but it's an hour each way on the train, more expense on the ticket and adds to the hassle of living away.

                    A whole hour? I do apologize!
