delboy Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 London has some good reasons to be the best place in the world to live' date=' a fabulously friendly city full of everything. Plenty of bustle and nightlife.[/quote']london is the most unfriendly place i've ever lived, its also dirty, polluted and smelly, and far too big for its own good....

How friendly a city is depends entirely on your own personal experience; Aberdeen is considered supposedly frioendly but I don't really think it is. London scores by actually being a collection of small communities: if you visit it nis just an impersonal mass but once you live in an area for a while each little area has a real sense of community I've always found. Its not the place to live if you want a quiet life but it is a fascinating and surprisingly amicable place I've always found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still like the place, although the Friday/Saturday night options of being either stuck in the city until the first trains at 5.30am or leaving far too early for the last train at midnight are a real pain.Am increasingly looking forward to moving back to Edinburgh though.

Tony Marlin Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 worst place is keith. or elgin.Keith isn't all that bad. its still quite a friendly place, has quite a good nightlife for the size of town (except the GA, shittiest 'nightclub' i've ever seen). it also has the festival and the show, both of which arn't very exciting but great excuses for a piss-up.Elgin used to be a shithole but is slowly getting better, i'd say one of the best places to be north of Aberdeen.In my opinion Kircaldy is a dump, Rothes stinks of dogfood and Portlethen is worse, vile smell of dead animals on a hot day. best thing about Portlethen seems to be Asda.

TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Aberdeen is literally one of the rudest cities I've ever visited. Everytime I've ever had drinks spilt by strangers in pubs they have never bought me another. People jump queues' date=' let doors drop in your faces and naturally ram trolleys into the back of your legs. Certainly don't expect anyone to move to make space for you when travelling in the opposite direction to you on the pavement - even in large groups they tend to not be keen on shifting as they'd rather you were shunned to the gutter/a doorway[/quote']I'm glad I am not the only one who thinks this...

stroppycow Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Agreed. Asides London it's the only place I know where if you attempt to speak to a stranger they look at you as if you are a complete maniac (though in London it tends to have a more' date=' "how dare you!" edge). The amount of hours I've spent in bus stops being too scared to look anyone in the eye for fear of being branded, "weird" in this city is unreal.[/quote']You want to give Carlisle a try - I've never met so many nutters per head of population in my life........... Botchergate on a Saturday night is a warzone. I suppose it may have improved over the last twenty years but I doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
