    Gateshead - Would you?

    Ok, just got off the 'phone to an agent who's recruiting permies for a role in Gateshead...

    Pro's and Cons please.

    I'll start with a Pro...

    Could go out on the piss with SA at the weekends...

    It will be cheap!

      It's through an agent, it's a permie job and it's in Gateshead.

      Apart from that, it's two thumbs up from me.

          Question: Does the rate mean you'll afford to be out on the toon every night having an absolute blast?

          If yes, it's a no-brainer.

          Take a warm, waterproof coat with you.

              Yeah, it's illegal north of Bolton, from what I've heard...

                Near the Norf sea, bracing...

                I was up there for 18 months recently - not bad as long as you can stand the weekend trips back home.

                I know a couple of other contractors who travelled back to Cambridge and Colchester - a bit of a pain but do-able.

                  Not Gateshead itself but there are some nice places around that area...

                    I'm back in Manchester now. I've worked in Newcastle before now but if it's a permy role we'd have to move.
